@cyberquixote "average" means control. You can put a mass of people in a box, making others' needs silent. But if I expect it from far-right and ultra-conservative people, I would not expect it from the other side!
Then, speaking of "conservative" I'm harding using this term directed to far-right only, because those so-called "left" who tell me "and what did a blind person do before glasses?" are using the same philosophy of "and what did gays do before same-sex marriage? They lived their life anyways".
I feel very irritated when I hear people talking that way, because they talk from a privileged point of view, whatever "privileged" means. Be it sight, money, a more "socially accepted" condition, and so on.

@kittyjynx You know what's the problem? No one of these rulers (be it software, be it politicians) ever listened to every voice seriously. Consequently, they take decisions on a quite standardized range of case studies / personas, and this is the result. We can't even go on accusing someone of deliberately ignoring needs; we can't continue with the victim narration as well.

@Dtraslerwriting It should not be my job to teach others, but every single day I have to. Every single day I have to be considered a pervert (in general debates) only because my eyes are a camera installed on glasses. No one would consider me a violent because I walk with a cane, but how many people in the world have been harmed or even killed by someone grabbing a branch or a whip? Something rigid and long (no double meaning, please!) Or wheelchairs - how many wheeled vehicles have killed people?
Someone should breathe, and reason a little bit.

@unruly See the approach? It's the same I'm talking about. You are assuming I hate fediverse, while I never said that in any line of the post. It's because I feel free to talk, and that I have no fear to be obscured or banned from here, that I took the chance to publicly share what I dislike of some noisy people in this place - that, no, it's not a place, technically it is a network where individuals and groups from different digital and real locations, connect with each other.
I'm sure that the same folks, moved to Facebook, X, or a fake "BumFuck" forum installed into a home computer, will behave the same way. An extremist, right or left, won't become neutral if they change the platform where they share their content. And I'm worried of increasing extremism on all sides.

@LeonianUniverse @x0 I fear you're going in the extreme area too. What I'm trying to do, is induce people to reflect on their own actions. I wish more awareness on them, about our needs; someone blames me for the tone I use when I say that some left-extremist, like the right-extremist, discussions, are more the sound of a goose than the sound of a civil discussion. Well, honestly I don't find better terms to reply when someone comes out comparing AI usage to a murder. It's the least I can say, and from my side, talking of the goose's sound, is not to humiliate someone but to refer to what a goose noise is. Seems with no control, apparently no proper rhythm. Very, very loud. It must be like that, as it must signal the territory to others. And some debates are like that.
What I hope from people, is to be more constructive instead, because this way, one says murderer, the other says goose, we go nowhere.
I would like more community effort, to sit at the table (whatever it means) with us "vulnerable" people, with concrete proposes to have a more substainable, modern, technology. Because AI makes us more vulnerable. It gives us independence, but how long? How long AI companies give tokens for cheap prices to blind related software houses? What to do, to deal with biases? The fact far-right leaders have tech companies in hand, is very relevant.

@MaerlynOfMiria I'm starting to de-follow people talking of politics, keeping just those who talk tech. I've learnt many self-hosting and interesting topics, but when the discussion gets too radical, I tend to give my idea but then step backwards, not to become rude and turn into unrecoverably wrong.

@macfranc The asshole pandemic has never been eradicated. That germ pollutes the world.

@KaraLG84 As there are many blind men harassing folks with their hands and voice, and many sighted who harass women just using their eyes, well, let's place all men claiming themselves heterosexual, into the sex offenders register. I think it would be much, much easier. "Not all men" the fuck.

Obviously, it's an exaggeration, but many extremists on the other side, don't even notice they're reasoning the same way of my hypothesis.

@KaraLG84 @elettrona I had them on at my recent gig. Nobody punched me in the face. I posted video with them here yesterday. Nobody screamed I was up-skirting anyone, or trying to booby-snap them because I wasn't. I was a guy playing keys at a gig who wanted to film for posterity and for fun.

I refuse to let someone ruin something useful to me, just because they're cockwaffles of the highest order and don't deserve to breathe the same air as me.

@pixelate The problem is ignorance. Or, better, poor knowledge.
Not everyone is forced to be aware of everything in the world, but when lack of knowledge turns into mind's closure, that's the danger.
Are there many companies using us blind people as a trojan horse? I think so. Meta, with its program of donating glasses to blind veterans, and other programs I don't even remember about, is gradually making blind people assume that their technology is convenient, is easy. And why getting into trouble going to search for other smart glasses? Meta solves all. And, trojan horse I mean that our accessibility needs can become like kids are, as a topic to make people accept age verification and mass surveillance. They can be used by blind, so, be careful in prohibiting camera glasses. Kids need protection, so, force adults to share their government documents on whatever site.

I would like a better community, able to discuss and propose something constructive which could help us, together with protecting privacy. But this way, those kind of people are just entering into panic mode because someone is posing them a question they're not prepared to.
