Hi. I am using Github's website in my browser on my desktop with text to speech to read pages. I attempted to read the commit log entries of multiple projects this morning only to find out that all of them now say, "Unable to load page." "The page is unavailable due to a system error. Try reloading the page, or if the problem persists, contact support."

This error occurs any time I click on any of commit entry URL for any project. But for example, sigmike/autocutsel@54ff34e . The commit log page itself, https://github.com/sigmike/autocutsel/commits/master/ still displays just fine and my screen reader can read the text and navigate the links.

Because there is no text in the actual commit pages besides the error my screen reader cannot read them. Though I think this error/bug goes well beyond accessibility it directly effects accessibility.

Ah, nevermind. I see when an old enough browser is used a different web server response results in HTML with text that can be read. It is only new, but not quite new enough, browsers that fail to display text. That can be fixed with updating. The problem was on my end, not githubs.
