For eight years Fedora has been shipping GNOME with a broken screen reader!

EIGHT YEARS!

(Wayland has been default on Fedora for eight years – since Fedora 25, released in 2016.)

And a hundred-billion-dollar corporation like IBM ships operating systems today based on it with a broken screen reader.

What is an ableist culture? One in which the people who call this out get ostracised.

FosstodonJeremy Soller 🦀 (@soller@fosstodon.org)I am unfollowing @aral@mastodon.ar.al. No matter my disagreements with GNOME folks in the past, COSMIC and GNOME are going to end up with the same accessibility backend, @accesskit, developed by the amazing @matt@toot.cafe. Thanks to funding gathered by @gnome@floss.social from @sovtechfund@mastodon.social, rapid advances are being made in Wayland-compatible accessibility features. Let's stop rage baiting each other and instead work on building a better free software world for everyone.
