Definitely would agree with this. The best of a bad bunch. I use it for nearly all my search.

Did see some sketchy stuff with the android app/browser so probably would avoid... and besides, I'm in a decades long relationship with firefox <3.

Checkmate!

I hope it suceeds. As someone who uses OpenSuse Tumbleweed for a year now, I cannot recommend it enough. Solid company, and great work.

Yeah, I was thinking collaborators.

Hey. I absolutely don't believe there was anything intended by this, and was likely an innocent mistake. I just spotted it and thought it was worth raising.

I reiterate again that what you're doing in terms of accessibility is epic, so keep up the great work!

Thank you for being open to feedback.

I have no idea. I don't know what it is. The point I made is still valid though. I don't think it adds anything, and it does have concerning implications.

Edit: Additional context:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/feb/25/black-pupils-excluded-hair-discrimination-equality-act https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/63399563

From a young age, black kids are told their natural hair is unkempt, and often by white teachers. The view of what is neat hair, and isn't neat hair is very subjective. This constant unconscious, and sometimes conscious bias is not helpful. It's often used as disguised form of discrimination.

I'm not saying this is the case with the original poster and think it was a genuine mistake, but it's something we probably need to move away from.

I appreciate the work you're doing to aid in accessibility. I'm not sure using "unkempt hair" is quite right. I would have thought this is natural afro hair. I don't think the hair description adds to the transcription so is probably better to remove.

Open source alternatives are a threat. They cannot control information there. I bet all of them are blacklisted.

The joke has probably gone over my head, but great to see.
