I’m not blind but I browse with images disabled. This means I can no longer login to Protonmail because they push CAPTCHAs. I know some CAPTCHAs have an audio option but I just get a blank box from Protonmail’s CAPTCHA. So I was wondering how blind people deal with that, or if they are simply excluded from using #Protonmail.

      Indeed it saves bandwidth – which is particularly important for those with a limited connection. I like it as well because so many images actually downgrade the UX anyway.

      It’s a better carbon footprint to nix images but then we get punished for it by anti-bot websites. Bots also neglect to fetch images so I get hit with false positives for robots more frequently.

      (Not sure if mentions work on Lemmy… mentioning @aibler@lemmy.world for good measure)

        Fascinating. I never heard or thought about this. I think I quite like this idea.

        Thanks so much for the thoughtful mention, I can confirm that it did work, showed up in my inbox.
