@ilja I've never heard of that before, sorry. But I don't think this has been really thought about either. You may be the first to consider image description portability. No image I've ever come across have ever had a description built into the file, that I know of.

@bortzmeyer Like Flatpak, refreshing the whole screen. The CLI Reddit clients do this too. TUI programs, mainly. Oh and using Unicode for progress bars and such.

Please boost for reach. So, anyone that is working on FOSS projects like web apps, sites, Linux apps, desktop environments, or other user interfaces, please let me know if you want them tested for accessibility. I can do both CLI, web, and GUI testing, and app testing on Android. I'm running Debian (on a ChromeBook but that's not too important), so just give me the name of the package, or the URL of the site or app. I can also do Flatpak!

@hamishcampbell If you make it accessible to people with disabilities, you make it even more accessible to everyone else.

Looking back at this, I should really promote this more. I kinda think more than a few sighted people would actually find this useful.

@mike They used to need special players? I just watched them on a regular DVD player.

Are you tired of flat text, with no idea of what you can or can't click on? Do your hands get cramped up trying to narrow in on that tiny close button for the ad that pops up every time you visit that site you have to use? Do your eyes get tired from reading all day?

Introducing screen readers! Available on all devices, these programs speak to you, so you can give your eyes a rest, in a simple, understandable format. There are even keys to jump to important content, or skip frames of ads. #a11y
