Thank you for the explanation, it's a lot more clear now!

Hey man, what software do you recommend for screen reading? I'm trying to test my websites on accessibility and I've tried JAWS and NVDA so far (while using Lynx to navigate it) but found them a bit confusing. I'm not sure how one would use them in practice to navigate a site like Hacker news, which is relatively simple.

Do you use something else entirely?

For the time being, the solution is simple: just market to the US and completely ignore Europe. If you get hit by a GDPR or one of these audits, do not respond until they threat, and if they do simply drop all business there.

What I'm worried about is not that. As a non-European who doesn't live in Europe I'm worried about what it's happening over there. The non-elected EU bureaucrats will soon control and regulate every aspect of your lives, and I can forsee the future: cash will be banned (terrorists use it!), the internet will be severily restricted and monitored (think of the children!), hate speech laws will dictate what you can or what you cannot say (this already happens). Everything else will be done in the name of regulation for regulation's sake, banning sales of new fossil fuel cars due to "climate change" (and they will eventually ban your existing car), and so much more.

I think this is the result of extended peace and prosperity, it leads to people acting weirdly and relying too much on abstractions. Weird results ensue and eventually it all crumbles under its own weight. And yes, the same will happen to the US.

Is this satire or are you just retarded?
Careful there, HN is the official EU commission bureaucrat cock sucking central.

The good news is that many of these idiots will be in for a surprise when they find out what the EU truly is.
