Facebook excess ability is the biggest joke on this entire planet. The simplest
things are absolutely impossible to do. Sometimes, I think I am the only one
that cares about notifications, or being able to adjust settings at all.
Knowing whether or not there are people smiling and a picture or whether or not
it is day or night outside is completely useless. Don't they know blind people
have already given up the ability to see pictures? If you cannot see the
picture, what use is knowing what is in it? I Wish the people at Facebook
accessibility would actually either hire blind people or talk to them before
they continue to go on touting how great of a job they do. Sorry for the rant.
Regards and have a great night!

It seems to me that I recall seeing some kind of an address for the people
who are supposedly working on accessibility at Facebook. And they certainly
got a lot of credit for that very much hyped feature where descriptions are
provided for some photos. Now, there is some really serious breakage that has
gone unfixed for two updates. I would like to be able to write them,
although I'm sure mine won't be the first note, pointing out this very basic
regression in excess ability, which renders us unable to read the titles of
links in our feed. I would say that this regression is far more important
than that overly hyped feature where you get to tell if there's food or
people, but no text is translated, in the many photos which get posted. I
know a lot of people think that feature is the greatest thing since sliced
bread. I think it's kind of a waste until we can actually read the text,
which is always, at least for me, the most important thing in the photos that
I can't see. Anyway, does anybody have the address?
