You should better read what the blind community thinks about it instead of making blanket assumptions.

Also I’m not saying that’s a good thing. It’s just an inevitable thing.

Then why respond when I was mentioning its usefulness and that the blind community was not heard by the tech bros.

It's not, listen to the blind community instead of making assumptions (I mentioned that in my first comment).

Because good alt text needs a lot of context, so it must be done by humans for humans at our current state of tech,

Because good alt text needs to be highly context dependant, so you can't automate it. The better alternatives we have right now are crowd-sourced alt text sites, where volunteers may generate descriptions.

Theyre adding an opt-in alt text generation for blind people

No, that's not useful at all, but Mozilla refused to listen to the blind community.

Thanks I was going to look for one with multi OS support :)

Unless you disk was encrypted, you could have booted up a live distro and back up the files you needed (or even overwrite the shadow file to get a new password)

but I also believe that dynamic, untyped languages have proven exceptionally useful for rapid prototyping and iteration.

Except that prototypes never end up as just prototypes, they die or become the real app with lots of masking tape.

Also Nvidia is still better for general computing (e.g. openCL). That may change when rustiCL finally catches up, but AMD implementation of openCL always gives problems.

Although, screen sharing has been solved a while ago. Any application that doesn't work is because the developers are shit (I am looking into you, zoom and you half-assed implementation using an screenshot-API-based gnome-only implementation).

It is solid until you need to use openCL (hopefully this changes when RustiCL beats the closed AMD drivers)

you can always run scripts with the shell they were written for (and you can even argue that people writing scripts should always set the shebang)

then investigating a person’s biological sex is going to be part of the process sometimes

They don't heckin' care about that. Ask black women that have been harassed in competitive settings because they don't adhere to the eurocentric notion of womanhood.
