Today I am disappointed and disgusted to say that #WesternDigital have sent me an email that has very important content in it, but it's inaccessible.
They've suffered a data breach, but the information about said breach has been put into the email as an image.
A #ScreenReader user without some level of tech knowledge would be unable to read that, and may actually think it's spam. To us, it goes straight to the line that says 'Copyright 2023 Western Digital' and skips all the salient points.
Utterly disgusting behaviour from such a large company about such an important topic.
If you're of a mind to do so, please boost to raise awareness.
This email is seemingly *not* a drill.
I would love if #DarkNetDiaries could get a hold of this crock of shite and discuss it on their podcast.
@FreakyFwoof Also, what is the darknet diaries podcast?
@TheVoiceGuy Very good, is what it is. Highly recommend checking it out.
@FreakyFwoof With that glowing recommendation, I think I should.
@TheVoiceGuy Put it this way. When I was told about it, I played about 5-10 episodes at 1.5x in the same day back to back. I got through the rest within the next month or so, listening to nothing else for that time.
@FreakyFwoof From the little bit I have listened to so far as I’m checking the download progress, this is definitely a keeper
@TheVoiceGuy The first 5 minutes of the first episode, I knew without a shred of a doubt I was gonna get the hell into it, and I did. Hardcore.

@FreakyFwoof

So I thought I'd provide a link to the Darkrnet Diaries website and the podcast feed URL, but the website doesn't display in @privacybrowser probably because the website is Javascript-dependent, or #Javascrippled. So there's an inaccessible dark pattrern that makes me never want to visit again.

How do people with screen readers deal with that?
