As for the intersection of this with accessibility: explain to me how a culture where most people do not understand how computers work and yet are forced to use computers is in ANY way "accessible."

A general ignorance of technology and difficulty in learning how to use digital tools is cognizable as a disability when computers are this ingrained into our lives. The collective experience of helping older people who weren't born with digital technology demonstrated this when we made them acceptable targets for scorn instead of helping them.

But instead of opposing practices that are intended to create future generations that struggle to understand new technology SO THEY CAN BE CONTROLLED MORE EASILY, accessibility "advocates" embrace future-proofed manipulation as progressive? Fuck that.

If you claim to be for accessibility and you oppose encouraging a culture where people know how computers work, you're a fraud.
