@ammdias @iaruffell Thanks to the white neckbeard in his parent’s basement telling us we’re blowing all this out of proportion I feel so much better now about this act of preemptive compliance with fascism.

@ammdias I thought the Colorado situation was ongoing. But that doesn't invalidate my point that some statutes are given rapid attention and others, which are designed to help minorities are not. Oh, and at the risk of being snarky, I note with amusement that a response to a point about accessibility is a youtube video. Honey, it is wasted on me.

@ammdias @iaruffell He makes a lot of fair points that adding a birthdate to the systemd records doesn't mean it has to be filled out... until it does of course! What happens when the new law passes that not filling out your user records is a felony? The prescription of "talk to your politicians" is the same liberal hogwash that got us here. Millions of people came out against the 2003 Iraq war in the US and it still happened. The lack of imagination about how to resist and limiting your actions to begging powerful people not to do bad things will be the death of us all.

@ammdias @iaruffell Accessibility is hard. Really only Apple have made a passable go at it. You have to know stuff and have experience in the field to really make a difference. Anyone thinks they can add an age API because it looks easy but is in fact hard. Took me 30 mins to add a maliciously compliant joke api to Fuzix, and it's actually IMHO better designed ;) Much open source is doing "easy" stuff again and again, because it's people doing stuff for fun. Hard stuff is underresourced

@ammdias@masto.pt @iaruffell@mastodon.scot Disability laws are global too. The question remains.
