He/They. Trying out some different instances. If you see this handle on another instance, it’s probably me, unless someone else also stole it from Campaign: Skyjacks.
I don’t know. If we were talking about Netflix making captions a premium feature that requires an extra fee, I’d think that’s pretty skeevy and ableist. I hadn’t thought about lyric sheets being an accommodation until OP brought it up, but now that they did, I’m kind of putting it in the same bucket.
Sure, but if that’s causing a difference in access for people with a disability like OP, then that becomes an ADA issue.
Because it improves the experience, but isn’t vital to it. If you want the free tier to be accessible to everyone, limiting things like lyrics that people like OP use as a disability accommodation isn’t the way to do it.
Album art would make way more sense as a paid feature than lyrics, considering it’s a largely cosmetic improvement.
They’re complaining that one of the things the limited free plan takes away is something they were using to accommodate their disability.
I killed my Spotify account when they started shoveling millions of dollars at Joe Rogan, and everything they’ve done since then only confirms I made the right call.
Oh, you missed out so much. Fortunately, the site is still mostly usable, though last time I checked, the games did not work.
Sure, and it’s fine when a meme flops. But this person was apparently being an asshole about the entire concept of memes.
My wife is into things I’m not into. Sometimes she even drops references to those things into conversations that I don’t get. You know what I don’t do? I don’t say, “So, I’m supposed to memorize all these TV shows in order to have a conversation with you?” That’s being a jerk, and completely unnecessary. I just kinda politely smile and nod, and move on.
Fried chicken is a great picnic food, since it is delicious hot or cold.
Mac and cheese, though… God no. Give me a nice macaroni salad instead.
Honestly, a baguette with some cured meats and cheeses sounds like an amazing picnic meal to me.
where I suggested that she’s done no more harm than male grifters and that the dislike of her as a person was primarily due to misogyny.
I mean, I don’t know about you, but I dislike most, if not all, grifters as people, regardless of their gender. They are shitty people.
Oh, I’m definitely not saying that there had to be intention behind it. After all, it’s a consequence I never thought of, so I’m sure whoever made that decision at Spotify never did either. But then, they’re supposed to be paid to think of consequences like this.
I guess the question is, if a decision screws disabled people in the pursuit of more money, does it really matter if the disabled people were deliberately targeted, or if they’re just collateral damage?
