Is it only me or recent #WhatsApp for #Windows builds, namely everything related to voice and video calls, can be handled only with touch cursor in #JAWS? #Accessibility #Blind

@Klimahandling @hpod16 also so-called European alternatives are in most cases hostile to people with disabilities. If you don't know what accessibility is, please google for it or ask me, I'm more than happy to answer any question. As a blind guy, I care only about #Accessibility because I literally cannot live and work without it. Thanks for reading.

@miki @pvagner Earlier I was resenting something like culpability because I had to tear myself in two between moral and practical. Now I'm absolutely 150% calm: I'm deprived of a basic sense, I need special requirements for me to work and live my full life, so #Accessibility is the only thing I care of. If a company preaches so-called "inclusion" and "diversity" and is super aware of people's pronouns, allows to select a gender from a list of fourteen items, has a carbon footprint on each page and writes long posts about why AI and "big tech" are evil, but absolutely doesn't give a flying F about me and my needs, I don't care how moral this company is, sorry for being harsh.

@pvagner Sorry again, but I don't care about anything except for #Accessibility. I'm blind and I spend too much time fighting inaccessible solutions.

@pvagner @Codeberg @troed Sorry but "a friendly support" as an accessible CAPTCHA alternative is absolutely not an option in 2026. there are audio captchas, math captchas, checkbox based captchas, captchas where you have to pick the correct sound (like "Select which of the three is a cat meowing"), something I definitely forgot — and "contact support to register" is the most humiliating and discriminating option you can ever imagine. It implies human intervention, so it's not #Accessibility, it's a crutch. And I'm not even talking about LLM here.
