       @matt The upside around web tech for accessibility also isn't a given either. It's still dependent on how the UI is made, what stack is used, and how the presentation model works. I remember that SPAs for a long time were basically unusable. And websites with infinite scroll *still* are bad with assistive technology.

       @matt Sure, but standard native toolkits *do* have tagging and labeling. Whether the tagging and labeling is good is dependent on the app developer.The answer isn't to make every single app ship Chromium or WebKit just to show the UI, it's to raise the floor for system UI technologies. Qt has made great strides as a cross-platform native UI toolkit, as an example.

       @matt That being said, what grinds my gears is that there are toolkits that flat-out consider assistive technology support as "out of scope". Dear imGui is thankfully no longer one of those, but for a long time it was... And it still has no API or internal support for it at all.

       @matt I'm not sure. At least the latest GitHub issue filed asking about it was a lot more positive about the idea of supporting it: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/8022The previous one before that was "no AccessKit because Rust": https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/5833And before that was only a brief mention of "being used out of its initial scope": https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/4122But I remember being told at some point in 2020-ish that it wasn't something in the cards because it was intended to be "lightweight".

       @ariadne TIL about u-config, and... it looks terrible. Why would anyone consider it to be reasonable?

       @ariadne Why are people freaking out about this? It doesn't matter. The sloppy article aside, nothing about this is new as far as I knew...

       @ariadne Yeah, it's probably going to happen with something particularly dumb too. I can already see it coming...

       @icculus At least nobody else is doing that. Mostly at this point the other desktops are just slowly implementing the Wayland protocol developed by @matk and first supported by KDE Plasma.

       @ariadne Ever since Gentoo got a full slate of binary packages in their package cache, I've been meaning to set up a Gentoo machine for fun. It's been almost 20 years since I last *seriously* attempted Gentoo.It might be fun! Maybe. We'll see?

       @ariadne @win8linux I'm looking forward to an Android port if you ever get around to it. 😃

       @ariadne @win8linux Ah. So then this is just for mobile Linux platforms like Fedora KDE Mobile and postmarketOS then?
