What fresh hell is this? it seems as a screen reader user, I am now barred from accessing Amazon on a new browser. It's prompting me to fill a visual CAPTCHA with no accessible alternatives on offer. Come on Amazon! Of all companies you should know better. This is a shameful disgrace! Do Better !!! #amazon #a11y
When I open the Amazon Homepage using Firefox, I'm getting a page, asking me to fill a CAPTCHA with no accessible alternative. just switched back to Firefox a few days ago, so not sure how long this has been going on. Text of the page says: "Enter the characters you see below
Sorry, we just need to make sure you're not a robot. For best results, please make sure your browser is accepting cookies.
Type the characters you see in this image:" #a11y #accessibility
So random tech issue of the moment, my Google Home devices have suddenly lost the ability to spell words, but this seems to be working for everyone else I've asked. Anyone have a clue what's up with this? Audio demo attached. Warning, this audio will trigger your Google Home devices:

Wow! Almost sounds like a little kid.

Having heard nothing from @[email protected] @[email protected], I have canceled my local accessibility meet-up membership.

Somewhat easy since the group was pandemic-dormant, but I still paid for the account.

The sign-on process with the overlay was a mess, which validated my decision.
