Just discovered this neat little #Windows util to quickly import the Andre Louis sound scheme and others: https://github.com/ORelio/Sound-Manager/releases

Even if you don't upgrade to the new #Sonos app, or upgrade your speaker firmware, the #accessibility of the old app has now been degraded. Browsing Apple Music this morning, and all of the items are images without alt-text. FYI @podcast

I'm testing something in Theseus2000. I need IPv6 to test it properly, IPv6 isn't enabled on my network, I can't access my router to enable it, I don't know where the router is to get sighted help getting the admin panel details, and the VPN I was using that allows IPv6 is currently expired and I can't renew it.

And so it begins. Rusc and stingray, two services I use daily on #sonos are unavailable. I assume because the new app will only work with the three major streaming services. Already hearing that adding custom streaming urls will be forbidden after the upgrade. Goodbye to the dozens of those I have.

So it looks like we’ll need to do some #accessibility advocacy next week. I’m not looking forward to it. But not because of advocating for my needs, or working with large companies. That doesn’t bother me. No, what bothers me is the interactions I will inevitably have with the #blind people who are supposed to be my allies. At least one person will say it works fine and I’m a whiner who needs to shut up. Eight or nine will tell me it’s my fault for purchasing the product at all. Several will tell me that it’s unreasonable to expect a multi-million dollar company to make things accessible on release. I’m tired. Not tired of advocacy, but tired of the lack of support, respect, and community spirit amongst my fellow blind people. We saw it during the #reddit advocacy, and we’re going to experience it all over again #a11y

Um so this is a huge problem. I basically won't be able to use my Sonos system when the new app comes out because yes, it's that bad.
