Despite having felt this way about so many things, I have never seen this argument put so well and succinctly. I am going to be using this ALL THE TIME.

Also, is this "sildur" of Minecraft shader fame? If so, much thanks, you've given me and my daughter many instances of "ooh pretty look at our house."

Please do not so blithely invoke disability just because someone removed the feature you cared about. It sucks, but I promise you navigating the world in a wheelchair sucks a lot more.

I don't want to speak for anyone in particular but X11 was definitely not a friend to people who cared about a11y or l10n. It wore its origins in "80s MIT students" on its sleeve, for good and bad - and for non-English-speaking or disabled people, mostly bad.

Hey, this is not a contest about who had the crappiest life, and if it was, I can assure you that there are things in life that suck more than navigating the world in a wheelchair, and I’m not asking people to stop complaining about that just because they happened to me.

Anyways, replace wheelchair users with pregnant women, or old people. Ramps help them too, and the argument is still valid.

Google continues the war against its own users.

Supporting "unusual" cases is difficult and takes more effort. In the dog-eat-dog world of commercial development, to win you have to get the majority.

Yes, I had that conversation with a friend.
