![]() Why then shouldn’t the people in charge of making Android accessible receive the same treatment for continuing to enforce technological segregation on our community? ![]() ![]() That is how discrimination should and must be handled. He called his employer, a big time Boston law firm, their people called the company that owned the hotel and, within an hour, that manager had been fired. There, the on duty manager tried to refuse him a room. About two years ago, Chris Cotters, a member of the Freedom Scientific board, flew to Tampa for a meeting and tried to check into the Westshore Hotel. In the hotel example, any of the aforementioned minorities would probably start to remedy the problem by going straight to the Department of Justice and have the place closed down if changes aren’t being made immediately. What if Google decided to go into the hotel business and told all LGBTQ people, all racial minorities and a few religious minorities that, while they need to pay full price for their room, they cannot use the swimming pool, the gym or any other facility? Now, please tell me how the discrimination we face due to technological segregation is any different? I ask, “How would the LGBTQ community react if Google charged their community full price for a product or service and, then, only permitted them to use a subsection of the features?”Īccessibility doesn’t apply to the majority of the LGBTQ community so let’s suggest a hypothetical. President? How long are we going to wait?” And, I ask you, how long are you going to wait for Google to end the discrimination they perpetrate against people with disabilities through their technological segregation? If we’re going to use the LGBT community as a metaphor, I’ll paraphrase the gay former Massachusetts congressman, Barney Frank on the day President Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act, “How long are we going to wait for our rights Mr. I am seeing a shift in this as of late, the community is taking a more humble approach and accepting themselves first before seaking acceptance from others.” They would openly dress or do certain actions to attract haters to them, in order to raise awareness. One commenter wrote, “The gay / LGBTQ community, in the past, used to be more flamboyant. I’m sure that any links that today’s piece would have had are linked to from the one I wrote yesterday and they’re links on this page to that article. This article has a few links but I ran out of time today and didn’t add them. In most of my articles, I provide links to virtually all proper nouns and terms I think readers might find confusing. I am also going to explore the titular subject of this article, “Do blind technology consumers get what we pay for?” and, I’m quite certain the this subject that the Android fans will trash me again. As there have been a pile of mostly negative comments posted regarding “ The Amish User Experience, the article I posted yesterday, I chose to, instead of responding to them in the comments section, write a separate post containing my thoughts on their notions. Last night, for the first time ever, I posted a comment to my own blog in response to something that an individual defending Android had posted. While I was reading Marco Zehe’s excellent Android review series, I observed him engage with his commenters both in the comments on the series and in the text of other articles in the series as they appeared. I write articles, I post them, people read them or not and some choose to comment. Standard/admin account may be necessary to delete some files (check the Support / FAQ section on our website to get more information and find a solution).Historically, both on this blog and on BlindConfidential, I have very rarely engaged with commenters. – Delete junk files (files such as Desktop.ini, incomplete downloads, orphans…) – Choose to delete only particular files in your Trash instead of whole Trash – Force empty your Trash when some files can’t be deleted with Finder – Clean Mac OS X caches to solve some issues and free up hard disk space – Manage a list of favorite applications and store registration info securely – Automatically detect an application moved to the Trash and delete its related files – Protect application from being uninstalled – Find all related files that need to be deleted too – Trash any application, widget, plugin and preference pane easily With TrashMe, you’ll never let those files tidying up your Mac! You’ve probably ever thought that an application only needs to be moved to your Trash to get uninstalled? This is not completely true, as many files would be left behind, those files created by the application (temporary files, caches, settings…). TrashMe is a powerful uninstaller with other great useful tools.
