@davidbisset People reasoning this way would need a lesson... Do you want to break accessibility? Perfect, I give you a site that's accessible to blind only. Screen completely black.

@talksina @davidbisset love the idea, the only problem is that sighted people could totally use a screen reader to still use the page. :(

@talon @talksina @davidbisset lol, you don't know how many of theese don't know how to handle a ScreenReader at all. Many of them even get totally confused because they have to use it without the Mouse or because they don't understand its Speech.

@svenja @talksina @davidbisset I know they won't. I know they'd get confused. But the reality is they could do it. Whereas if a page is completely inaccessible, we just straight up can't, even if we did struggle.

@svenja @talon @davidbisset But sighted could get a disturbing sound. If they use the mouse they get a continuous whistle like when the microphone is somehow disturbed

- here ! your new laptop.
- it has no screen !
- yeah, the screen was reducing the battery life for blind users, so we removed it.
