I know I am a broken record, but since it keeps happening I have to say it again: you should complain about the state of a11y on Linux, but don’t make up shit on the spot when you trauma dump and slam the door. You’re just making it hard on existing contributors, who will just give up; and on newcomers that now have to unlearn your disinformation campaign in order to work on the right things
While things can and should be better, I can assure you that nobody is purposely making them worse, or ignoring the problems. There are very little technical blockers, and while a bunch of existing solutions are problematic, a11y is not incompatible with security
Most of the problems are (unsurprisingly) social: resources and funding. It’s easy to blame the people doing the work when you feel personally constrained in your ability to use a device; but it’s pointless, and just counterproductive, because you’re blaming the few people that care
And, again: there’s lots to rage about without making shit up to justify your particular grievances
@ebassi I think some rage and worry is justified when one of the core developers of the software argues that accessibility isn't worth working on frequently.
@brainblasted as I said: raging and complaining is fine. The line that should not be crossed is making shit up to appease your need for finding bad guys. Somebody’s opinion is also not at the same level of other people’s actions, and it should not be used to cast aspersions on a whole project.
@ebassi @brainblasted that's just victim blaming on your part. A11y in GNOME is so bad rn, that even I have issues with plain keyboard navigation. When implementing things, I have to wait for the Design team to approve, yet there's no approval based on accessibility. There is nothing wrong with that someone is so mad at this bs that they go too far and make things up. It's a natural consequence of rage, and you can't expect it not to happen. If you don't want it to happen — solve the problem.
@ebassi @brainblasted yeah, right. Apparently blocking people who complain is a better way to deal with a problem.
