     @WestphalDenn @Tamasg Sending you lots of love and here’s hoping some folks do some reflecting and things really do change at a systemic/cultural level.

     @aral @Tamasg Wish you all the best and I hope you can get back on your feet after so many attacks for just stating the obvious. As a blind individual myself who trys Linux over and over again just to cave and use something where I can actually get work done I respect you a ton to raise awareness of the technical problems as well as the ableist ones. Thank you and be save

     @docRekd Putting aside the insinuation that I’m not actually interested in improving accessibility on Linux, where does one donate? I couldn’t find a donation link there or on the site.

     @aral when you are harassing the people working on fixing it instead of directing your 40k followers toward funding those people then yes, you are the problem

     @aral

     It helps to look from project perspective sometimes.

     When all you get is complaints then (as a developer) you may consider abandoning the project and work on something else.

     Or when you have some work in progress but whole feedback is "it sucks".

     Be constructive. Help rather just be an asshole.

     @aral yes. The problem is you. And the problem is in Wayland and rest of stack.

     Bitching the project does not help. Look are there solutions, do someone is working on screen reader for Wayland environment.

     Help them with testing as it looks like you know how it should work.

     @hrw How about you help instead of calling people who are helping assholes?
