When they put fiber in front of the house I live in and then planned the routing through the house, I replaced my ISP’s router with a FRITZ!Box. This way, I thought, I don’t need to change two things at once when the routing is done. The FRITZ!Box sends a monthly health/status update email which is not terribly useful but also not offending me. So I keep it on. I just received the 23rd email. #Neuland
Narrowing accessibility to EAA compliance has dramatically hurt the whole field. The EAA is great and much needed, but “are we doing the minimum thing to not get fined” has poisoned the discourse. I think it dragged us down for the moment instead of lifting us up. I’m positive this will change, but it will take years. Currently, most companies think of accessibility as a technical property of their website or app, instead of an intrinsic one.
