Once they start touching the Library of Congress's program for free audio and Braille books for the blind and other print disabled, then we'll see some action from the blind community. However, I suspect the Deaf community will act first, and with force. It's amazing to see how indifferent people are around me. Trump voters are all about getting rid of DEI, completely missing the A, which they'll someday need if they grow old enough.
At least Apple isn't getting rid of their accessibility program. But I fear what this will do as a signal to other companies, particularly apps like Doordash, which some people rely on. Oh, and can't forget Facebook, which is headed in Trump's direction, which tons of blind people use. But, we'll struggle on as we always have. Eventually, Windows will decay enough for blind programmers to finally have enough and switch to Linux, and we'll ride that wave as long as we can. And then Tim Cook will retire, some conservative will take his place, and we'll all have to move to Android lol. Would be just our luck.
