Did they give advance warning so users would be aware of the upcoming change?

Also, lesson learned. Next time a product is not performing as expected in terms of accessibility, cease using the product right away. Don't even try to use the search box or any other workarounds to get to what you want to do. Nope. Just, abandon ship. They won't hesitate to use your attempts to get it working for yourself against you.

Best I can manage for now.
"Request received: Sling TV does not offer accessible guide nor audio descriptions
We received your informal complaint – ticket number 7401450.
We will review your complaint. We will contact you if we need more information. " (at least I can take comfort in knowing that adp.acb.org/streaming.html is still accurate about this matter.)

Streaming Video Services Offering Audio Description

Services which stream videos via the Internet, some of which contain audio description tracks.
The Audio Description Project

What can I say. I'm giving up on this Sling refund. Not worth beating a dead horse. The second agent put me on a 15-minute hold whilst he spoke to his supervisor, and they concluded that there's no exceptions to the refund policy, but that they noted down my accessibility problems and concerns with the guide, playback. I pressed for the creation of a customer support ticket so at least I could know it's getting sent to a team internally but no such luck either. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Ugh sorry you're dealing with that. We considered switching to a cheaper provider, but realized that Youtube TV is the most accessible despite the higher cost. OTAs are not always likely to work either. I think @morganlynn1992 mentioned there might be newer services coming down the pipeline, but not sure.

@Lprazdnik @morganlynn1992 I'm not sure, people are telling me Direct TV itself has a more accessible service which is a bit ironic. At this point you probably get a better deal going through an internet or cable provider like XFinity, but now I'm even too scared to try their service after this Sling BS. And IPTV is nice for being simple but you're risking suspensions of your IPTV and domain ceasures, neither of which are fun.

@Lprazdnik @morganlynn1992 the way I see it, while youtube tv is a little pricy, you do get a lot of channels, a lot of dvr space, and it is cheaper than getting cable, with a cable box.

@Lprazdnik @morganlynn1992 I do think Google has won that war from an accessibility angle but it's a pretty penny to pay $72, pretty much the price of cable TV not to mention if you pay for any other standalone streaming services. I think the market is truly fucked, I have no other word for it. No matter where you turn there's problems, it's a sad state of that world.

@morganlynn1992 Oh yeah. We tried XFinity's version of the streaming service, ever since switching back to them as an ISP, and it wasn't great. The app wouldn't allow Morgan to sort by channels, and the streaming box is terrible all around. So yeah, we need better options.

@tristan @Lprazdnik @morganlynn1992 from what I remember of it yes, but even back in 2017 or 2018 when I tried it, the local ABC for this area had it. As far as I know they also support more markets for local channels, whereas Sling is banking on their Air TV (which as I found out is also not compatible on web.) YTV will probably give AD if the closest-local market station supports it which is a huge win that way

So I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'm considering switching away from Outlook because it's not properly deleting my Gmail messages LOL. Everything that Outlook says is deleted still shows up in Gmail's All Mail folder. This doesn't happen using the native mail app in iOS. I've changed some settings in both Outlook and on Gmail's web interface, and this still seems to be occurring. Are there any alternatives out there that are simple and accessible with screenreaders? #Blind #Windows #JAWS #NVDA #A11y

My favorite piece on the subject has been @rysiek 's "Bluesky is cosplaying decentralization" rys.io/en/167.html from a year and a half ago, but significant changes have happened in the meantime... I wonder if there are any updated posts about it?

The clay tablet, from the city of Umma, depicts a residential structure centered around a courtyard. Dimensions are given in cubits, likely corresponding to room sizes. Parallel lines represent walls, while doorways are indicated, providing a detailed representation of the house's layout.

So, a few clips from an old recording and I have a credible Michael Jayston to read me bits of the new John le CarrΓ© thriller, penned by his son Nick, thanks to the Eleven Labs reader.
Uncanny.

Jayston died only a few months ago, according to a quick google. The real Audiobook is read by Simon Russell Beale , who did a credible George Smiley on the radio of course.
My george will always be Bernard Hepton, thanks to a little box of cassettes in the 1990's.

I would indeed if you ever find it. I really enjoyed that one.

I rarely use ride-sharing apps because they're destructive to public infrastructure I care about, but recently I had to use Lyft and YOU CAN'T USE IT ON THE WEB. Their website literally tells you to go get the app, so you can't use a desktop browser at all to access their platform. That is an absolutely *wild* choice, and even more absurd that it goes unnoticed in the current media/tech ecosystem.

I walked to my appointment this morning, and had to pass a small construction site. A worker helped me, which was nice. But as I left, he said, "You're doing great." Based on the tone and the conversation, he seemed to be one of those people who is impressed that I can walk around on my own. I get that sighted people can be impressed like this, if they have no experience with blind people, but it's still irritating. That kind of reaction is belittling, even if people don't mean it that way.

Yep.the thing is that, there's no wrong when someone tells you you're doing great in a potentially dangerous area. That could only inspire you,if yoo are really positive. There's also the fact that this worker lost time, and money trying to help, because here, for example, road workers and builders work under civil contracts, or no contracts at all, so the fact they lost time, and money, because they felt that doing good will bring something better in their life, would be enough for me to pay someone if they helped because these people do not receive government cheques, they get what they worked for, and every brick and bag of concrete moved counts, not to mention the countless ways in which these people could get hurt. Yet, a lot of humanity underrates construction workers, and pays them too little for what they do in many places.

Work meetings time so can't focus on this BS. I might try with a different agent during my lunch break around this Sling stuff. Still raddled by the comment and way she treated that entire situation, but until a ticket actually gets created and reviewed by multiple tears of support, I'll keep calling. Wishing everyone on Masto a joyful day, in the end money is money and can be earned back, I'll be OK, as long as nobody else in a situation like mine falls in the Sling trap without a trial first.

As much as I'm not a fan of X or Facebook, you could find Sling on those platforms and complain about your treatment publicly. Comments like "I hope you get better soon" regarding blindness can't be allowed to go unanswered or unchallenged. They owe you an apology.

I really do not like the feeling of asking a question about a body of work only to uncover more questions, or finding out it requires an entirely different, non-trivial body of work.

There's even a term for this. The curb cut effect is when disability-friendly features are used by a larger group than they were originally designed for.
