Accessibility and Apple: dizziness by a thousand cuts.

In which I try to explain the problems with Liquid Glass and the current Apple betas when it comes to vestibular conditions, outline how Apple responds to this kind of thing, and react to the three types of feedback I get when writing this kind of post.

With 320x480 iPhone screens, we had to be economical for navigation, tools, and the content view. (BTW, the content view is UI. The entire app is UI.)

Screens got wider and taller, which gave us more space for the content view, without having to sacrifice navigation and tools.

But look what happened. In many cases, it actually got much worse, with vertical space eaten up by things that were never even visible before.

So why are we now sacrificing navigation and tools?

I dunno; in my experience finding out how many "normal" ideas commonly encountered and widely accepted in US life had their roots in something blatantly ethnonationlist, fascistic, or white supremacist enraged me.

I don't really understand why folks internalize and defend a mindset imposed on them by people who do not and have not ever had their best interests at heart. Once you stop investing in the culture mentally and emotionally, the truth doesn't weigh you down. But it will make you angry

I used to think packaged pre-cut veg at the supermarket was for lazy people.

Then a disabled person pointed out it was a lifeline for them because they lived alone and couldn’t cut it up themselves most days.

I had never even considered that. It changed my perspective and I think from then on when something seems “lazy” I always ask myself “is this just accessible?”
And it’s nearly always the latter.

It’s not hard to listen to someone when they say something is not accessible and it’s not difficult to shift your perspective.
I don’t know why so many people won’t.

"Do you care not for humankind? You are terrible."

It has come to my attention that most of humankind does not care for me.

I am merely returning the favor of emotional distance.

How much should I care for someone who plies for my end?

It seems rather foolish to pour one's feeling into a bottomless well, which would just as likely swallow the one who pours, in moments left unguarded.
