@b0rk@RoganDawes You can evening start a new port forwarding while the session is already running! But I never remember the key sequence to do it when I need it...
@Elizafox How dare they wanting freedom from the medical-industrial complex instead of just pony-up more money and get an enshitified version of their previous equipment, like a good patient?
I got a new wheelchair. The configuration is now done through a mobile app that check access rights with the manufacturer before allowing resellers to change anything; I haven't been able to get it configured as I need it. It reports back through a cell connection to the reseller and the manufacturer all usage data, including GPS position, and you can't meaningfully turn it off (there's an "airplane mode" that makes the wheelchair blink like a Christmas tree). I suppose someone in Sweden can brick it if they wanted it. I am seriously considering trying to crack up the software, but I suppose that would make me the butt of a joke.
@WeirdWriter It is also a huge misinterpretation of the original article. It is denouncing performative access, which is actually mainly about the sighted people feeling good about themselves and ticking the "access" box, rather than actually communicating to their audience. If anything, the next few paragraphs after the quote are about how image descriptions should be used.
I understand this article similar to when I say that I don't want wheelchair accessibility if it means getting into a building through the garbage room: it isn't a call to keep steps everywhere.
