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.

@aral Fedora is not IBM but a bunch of people mostly working on a project for free. Xorg is a security concern so the switch was justified even with not all features being present. Instead of trying to shame opensource developers and unjustly calling them IBM you can grab some issues and help working on them.

@xbezdick @aral

What?

Red Hat was a 3.4 billion dollar company at the time of its acquisition by IBM. You don't reach that solely through unpaid volunteers.

@jgamble @xbezdick @aral Fedora is not Red Hat. Not in theory, not in practise.

@mattb @jgamble @xbezdick Billion-dollar corporation when it comes to the profits, volunteer-run effort when it comes to criticism. Good gig if you can get it.

@aral @jgamble @xbezdick If you'd levelled the same criticism at RHEL it might have been valid.

@mattb @jgamble @xbezdick RHEL is IBM. It’s right there in the original post.
