The Verge title: “Reddit will exempt accessibility-focused apps from its unpopular API pricing changes”

My alternative title: “Reddit doesn't want to spend their own money on making their site accessible and wants others to do it, but only if they do it for free.”

Reddit will exempt accessibility-focused apps from its unpopular API pricing changes

Reddit is creating an exemption to its unpopular new API pricing terms for apps focused on accessibility. Blind users had protested the changes because they could harm apps that help them browse the site.

While I truly feel for those on the east coast dealing with Canadian wildfire smoke (and hope they are wearing N95s when out), a part of me is glad that politicians in DC are getting a taste of what the west coast has had to deal with for a decade or so and what the future will be like nearly everywhere without drastic action now on #ClimateChange.

@siracusa I wanna see the AppleCare details. I hope it's called DoubleVision+ for when you scratch the wrong spot or drop it on a tile floor, because you know there aren't serviceable parts in that thing and will take full replacement.

Yessss. Facetime on Apple TV is going to be great for family chats. FB's Portal sucks and is clunky. #WWDC
