“Honestly, I feel like web developers are constantly being gaslit into thinking that complex over-engineered solutions are the only option.

Be kind, today. To yourself, yes, and to others.

Just that. Be kind.

Arguing with people about PDFs is tiresome.

“Sure, tools don’t write accessible PDFs, and readers don’t have the functionality to output the added information, that is almost never there, in an accessible way. But the format itself is accessible!”

The mind, it hurts. If people have no access to the information, it’s not accessible.
