    Talk to me when I have a proper screen reader on Linux. On days my eyes are bad, I use Windows because I have dspeech and other tools. On days it’s really bad, I just use my iPad.

    If you’re enjoying opensource software and are able to contribute, be it code, documentation, bug reports, political support, products that contribute back to opensource projects, or money, please do. Even just spreading the word is a good start.

    There’s not much opensource devs can do against corporations, but every contribution helps us get closer to a world where working fulltime on opensource is common-place and even desired.

    Wayland won’t get proper accessibility. Don’t even think about it.

        They don’t actually think wayland won’t get proper accessibility, they just hope for it and for time to reverse back to when people had to edit their x11 configs by hand. Like true linux users.
