Yeah, cuz accessibility shouldn't be something "optional"…
- I mean, this stuff isn't cheap either, but putting the longterm useability of an accessibility aid behind a subscription is just an inexcuseable move.
- Espechally since the device itself ain't included in that either (tho I think renting out stuff that people need to participate in society is also not okay!)
Really shows how the privatization of healthcare in a for profit system is shafting not just "consumers" but espechally those that don't get to choose.
- Kinda like the deregulation in general.
- I mean it's not that people buy such assistive tech out of curiosity or lazyness, but out of desperate need (or at the very least to test their software and services against them for accessibility)…
