Do you have a couple accessibility experiences from engines you thought were good? Maybe not "compare" to avoid flame wars, but maybe some highlights.

It's called "support" and many companies pay for it to be provided by many of the major FOSS software producers; mileage with those services varying I'm sure. Making demands of ind…

Efforts from non-experts would likely hamper a complicated project like a database. Even though the hypothetical denied efforts being earnest well-meant efforts, I can't suggest a …

Github bowing to these requests is really disappointing. Makes me sad.

Actions are different from thoughts. We're judged/arrested when we do that. What people think, on the other hand, is immaterial to whether one should be happy or not. If one is req…

People forget how deep the hatred for Microsoft was at this time

Well then you're also "wrong" for 3 spaces. Student project, and spaces/tabs argument is for teenagers. edit: root comment here is mentioning NULL checks and actually being helpful…

I agree with your points, and there are a lot of constraints for running a wiki. Especially on a volunteer basis. Indeed it is not free content, the volunteers that edited the UE4 …

"security risk" - So they're just trying to hand-wave a bluff at a huge community of developers? No one believes this. edit: also I feel bad for this community manager having to li…

This and this. Next thing you know they'll require a Windows Live login to make that appeal. Github used to be good. What a waste.

News flash: social media is garbage. What do you expect from these companies? It's just a private entity that makes its own rules about its own landfill of humanity. All of a sudde…

A couple of these are new to me, appreciate you sharing.

I believe this is all my true nightmares, come to life, expressed in one place.

"for-profit hospital" industry. It's not your pal. It's there for your money.

Chief Stick-in-the-Mud

Nice try, Satan. First dinosaur bones are planted to trick us, and now this?!

Watch out Equifax, here come those collection calls. If owing thousands as a US peasant earns you harassment and dozens of calls a week, I'd love to see the Experian leadership get…

Now I really can't quit the internet

I had to completely clear my mind of the past, and of what others may think of my project/code. It's a brand new day, you're breathing, you can truly work on whatever you want. Whe…

lotgd.net - I don't play any more but if you haven't it's great fun. Lots of 90s nostalgia from LORD/Usurper/Exitilus in dial up BBSes

More work is put into bogus GDPR cookie warnings no one cares about.

Exact same experience. 12 years in industry across stacks b2b dev experience here. The word "accessibility" or "disability" never even uttered out loud by developers, stakeholders …
