it’s not like things like this haven’t been posted consistently since chatgpt started on the scene

oh no, wait, I meant the other thing. the one where it’s always been this awful dogshit.

“imagine it’s due to eu law” what the FUCK? I’ve seen some wild takes but wow, you’ve just strength-hammered the shit out of the fair bell in a way I haven’t seen in a while

Don't you know? The directive of redundancy directive requires that human-facing software products continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes. This supersedes earlier regulation, which allowed human-facing software products to not continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes if the user verbally requests the human-facing software products to not continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes.

God knows why they decided that this particular EU law is the one they would actually follow.
