TIL: #Wayland breaks most screen readers, as they are not not intended by design. (they need to interact with other apps)
Wayland is now the default in pretty much all gnome distros.
Orca has workarounds, but they are not merged and not fully working. (And a blind user can't built it without a working screen reader)
I'm not entirely sure if I got this correct, but it seems to me like the #Linux community once again booted the #blind.

Hot Take: #openSource without #accessibility is not free software and does not respect fundamental human freedoms.
@betalars
open source is created by generous people that do it in their passion. dismissing this as not free software is unfair. if you are mad at the accessibility lacking why dont you just contribute yourself? i am happy that these open source projects exist at all, and grateful for those who have spent their own time developing and helping them grow
