       I am unfollowing @aral. 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. Thanks to funding gathered by @gnome from @sovtechfund, rapid advances are being made in Wayland-compatible accessibility features. Let's stop concern trolling each other and instead work on building a better free software world for everyone.

       @soller @lucasmz Definitely your prerogative to unfollow, but I'm sure there are quite a few things y'all agree on. I respect that he's advocating for folks that are are underrepresented in FOSS.

       @thestrangelet @lucasmz It doesn't feel genuine when someone targets others who are supposedly on your side, calling them things like "ableist" for not having finished their work. It reminds me of having been called a racist by Lunduke for supporting DEI...

       @soller @thestrangelet @lucasmz Do you know how long Wayland has been default on Fedora? I just looked it up. Since Fedora 25. For eight years. I hadn’t even realised. EIGHT YEARS, Fedora has been shipping GNOME with a broken screen reader!And hundred-million-dollar corporations like IBM & Canonical ship operating systems today based on GNOME with a broken screen readers.Why do I say “ableist?” Because this can only happen in an ableist culture.#a11y

       @aral People who feel like they're being told they're bad people with bad intentions are going to be less inclined to do what other people want.It doesn't matter if you're right; if the people who you're trying to convince think you're a jerk, the people who you're trying to convince won't want to help. I've had to learn that lesson a lot of times.You can't control other people, you can only control yourself, and how you treat others.@soller @thestrangelet @lucasmz

       @soller @thestrangelet @lucasmz You can unfollow and publicly shame me for calling out a glaring accessibility issue in nearly every major Linux distribution on the planet. What you can’t do is both do that and argue that there isn’t an ableist culture in open source software because you’re literally perpetuating it right now by showing the next person exactly what happens when someone criticises the lack of accessibility in your community.#a11y #linux

       @aral unfortunately I agree. #a11y accessibility to the basic operating system is important. Simple items like a basic screen reader are important and have been left to oblivion since sun left the game and all others failed to care about the barrier...

       @aral There are proven effective ways to persuade people to work together to solve and address problems. You are not using them.I'm going to bow out, though. No one likes to hear the kumbaya bullshit because no one wants to think about how they can change what they're doing themselves.Everyone wants to start with what everyone else is doing wrong. See?

       @aral @soller @thestrangelet @lucasmz The man said "screen reader is not working". He expressed the problems with Wayland.No one could prove the contrary, but they criticized the man.Aral seems right about this.👌

       @aral,While I do understand your frustration, a negative message is... negative. There's no sympathy for that, and the real message will not carry forward. It would be much more interesting to petition IBM, RedHat, Canonical, Suse.com and others for a stronger support for a11y initiatives. And by that I mean *money for developers* (grants, scholarships, whatever).#a11y #OpenSource #Sustainability #Community #justBeNice

       @soller @thestrangelet @lucasmz This might be shocking, but deprioritizing the needs of disabled users over mainstream features is the definition of ableism. This is not a breaking change in a minor version that is quickly fixed, it’s years of excluding people. It’s the result of a systematic ableist process in an ableist world, carried out by people with (probably, hopefully) unconscious biases of exclusion.@aral is right to call it out.

       @aral @soller @thestrangelet @lucasmz the distinction between ableist as a pejorative vs. ableist as a systemic injustice is an important one. Discussion about the other -isms is similarly railroaded by this.It *is* ableist, but I dont fault individual devs for it, but this is a good opportunity for them to gain perspective on decision-making as it relates to disabilities.A group of morally righteous individuals sharing a blind spot will probably result in injustice as an emergent property

       @gvlx No sympathy for criticism of eight years of excluding disabled people from your operating system = sympathy for eight years of excluding people from your operating system.Petition hundred-million dollar corporation to care about making their products accessible? I beg to differ. You *regulate* them. You *fine* them if they don’t.(Of course, under capitalism, all that is, to varying degrees, theoretical.)So, no, sorry, I won’t be whispering ‘please sirs, be kind’ anytime soon.

       @heydon "I'm really impressed by how much the screen reader has continued to offer the same utility release after release""It's really notable that where other products might seek to just comply blindly like the sheep they are with accessibility laws and requirements in their commercial products. Where Fedora really excels is in going their own way, despite big government over-reach"At a guess. @gvlx @aral

       @sollerAs I see it, @aral  has been calling out ableist behaviors, not arbitrarily labeling people, and most certainly not @matt (prove me wrong).The worst part of ableism in software development is to treat accessibility as yet another "requirement" in the list that consistently gets ranked down, kind of a bonus of grace. Like with pushing out Wayland fully knowing that this will exclude people.It seems to be hard to imagine for some what this means for people depending on features like e.g. a screen reader that is fully functional, and works during installation already. And sometimes this ignorance shows in very disappointing statements and replies.@thestrangelet @lucasmz

       @soller @thestrangelet @lucasmz I can sympathise with that, but the sticking point for @aral I think is that this isn't just unfinished work lacking a few features, but rather unfinished work that's remained unfinished for so long *while still being used as the default* for years.  This decision, that an unfinished product lacking fundamental #a11y functionality was "good enough to ship" is an ableist one.

       @soller @thestrangelet @lucasmz Ableist is neither a slur nor a description of your intention. As with other types of discrimination, it can happen without intending it. I dare to say its probably mostly ignorance and indifference. The outcome is the same though, disabled people can't participate and thats a bad thing for them and society.

       @gvlx While I hate to pile on, it’s important to understand that the messge is from frustration with the ongoing and genuine harm that these kinds of barriers introduce.It is valid to be angry and suggesting otherwise is dismissive of that community experience as a whole. That dismissiveness is part of the problem. Your lack of sympathy as well.Historically, accessibility affordances only come after using this kind of advocacy. Which sucks.@aral

       @aral @Mindiell @anantagd @katanova @soller @thestrangelet @lucasmz Yes, the problem is that you are using fedora. You need either something much more stable, or something rolling release that doesn't break orca. Orca  runs fine on Manjaro.

       @soller @lucasmz It's the exact opposite of what Lunduke did. By supporting DEI, you are supporting the underrepresented, just like Aral is with a11y.

       @thestrangelet @lucasmz It isn't the opposite. Aral is twisting words to claim people are not supporting accessibility. Everyone involved wants it to be better, so why throw around words like ableist?

       @soller @aral is pointing out the simple fact that companies with a quite decent overall budget are pushing out essential software that excludes people who had been better supported before. As everybody trying out accessibility features under Wayland vs. x11 can easily experience.Nowhere is he posting blanket statements like your "people are not supporting accessibility". These are your misrepresentations of what he is saying.Quote him correctly.@thestrangelet @lucasmz

       @thestrangelet @lucasmz I want to clarify that Lunduke is an actually bad person who I blocked completely. Aral is a good person who is just doing something I disagree with. There is a difference, but the tactic being used is not that different in my opinion.

       @katzenberger> From the actually-what-you’re-referring-to-as-ableism-is-GNU/ableism departmentQuoted the blanket statement.Not only that, but the post complains that a Fedora maintainer said that patches are welcome, and yet the first instinct in response to that is to want to block them? Not a productive attitude.If you care about the problem, then instead of calling people abliest, go help the people who are working on this problem. GNOME is backing AccessKit, which will be in COSMIC.

       @mmstickI really admire your text cutting skills, your deliberate effort to make this look like a blanket statement.You are very well aware whom exactly  @aral criticized in this post, and for what specific reaction.

       @ragectl @katzenberger @mmstick Quote me correctly: “a glaring accessibility issue in nearly every major Linux distribution on the planet”https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/112647420910468423GNOME and KDE, the two major display environments, both default to Wayland.- Fedora, RHEL, etc.- Ubuntu- OpenSUSE- Any other distribution that defaults to default behaviour of GNOME & KDEPopOS doesn’t, but apparently System76 decided this is their hill to die on anyway. 🤷‍♂️#a11y #linux

       @aral @katzenberger @mmstick in that case, I was referring to the statement here https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/112638007852850343 so you're quoted correctly

       @ragectl @katzenberger @mmstick Not that it needing clarification but, sure. I believe I’ve been very clear and consistent about what the problem is.

       @ragectl @katzenberger @mmstick No, without the rest of the sentence my words are out of context as the rest of the sentence qualifies it.“Every Linux distribution” is not the same as “Every Linux distribution that ships with Wayland by default – and that’s almost every major Linux distribution” and you know it.Anyway, now the context has been added in this thread so I don’t see any reason to bikeshed this further.

       @aral @ragectl @katzenberger System76 isn't dying on any hill. We have been committing part of our COSMIC resources to accessibility work so that COSMIC will have functioning accessibility on release. In fact, we are currently in the process of upstreaming our AccessKit work from libcosmic into iced right now.At the end of the day, complaining about problems on here won't achieve anything. If you want to see improvements in accessibility, then do what we're doing. Contribute, submit PRs, etc.

       @mmstick @ragectl @katzenberger Clearly complaining on here archives one thing: it sheds light on the unchecked ableism inherent in the IBM/RedHat/Fedora/Wayland/GNOME/KDE world that allowed a screen reader to be broken on at least one major Linux distribution (Fedora) for EIGHT YEARS. How many features, details, etc. were created in that time?And again, you guys didn’t ship a broken screen reader so I don’t know why you’re leading the charge to shut me up but sure, whatever.

       @aral @ragectl @katzenberger No, it sheds light on your desire to falsely accuse volunteers of doing things they aren't.Fedora is not Red Hat or IBM. It is a community project that is sponsored by Red Hat. Same goes for most Linux projects: community-driven with some sponsored contract work.If you actually cared about accessibility, you wouldn't be here bullying people with virtue signaling. You would be getting involved and sponsoring accessibility work. That's how open source works.

       @mmstick @ragectl @katzenberger You know what, Michael, you can take your “virtue signaling” and shove it.Gives me a very good idea of the kind of culture you guys have at System 76 if those are the terms you’re using. And I’ll be very happy not to have anything to do with it in the future. To think I was recommending you guys to people. Won’t be making that mistake again.Goodbye.
