I wasn't really aware of the sad state of #accessibility with #GTK4 and #Gnome in upcoming #Debian 12 #bookworm.

#visuallyImpaired and #blind users are probably disappointed. Let's hope, those users can use #MATE for now and things will improve before the release of Debian 13 #trixie.

in reply to mimi89999 • • •@mimi89999 Won't help much: bare minimum, it would require bumping GTK and its dependencies during a freeze; otherwise, it'll have to wait until after GTK 4.12 is released, in September, and a bunch of apps and libraries have been updated to include more accessibility information.
As I said in another reply, what would help is actually helping out with the accessibility stack; it's not like MATE or Xfce are better: they are just stuck, so they look like they work.

in reply to Emmanuele Bassi • • •@ebassi Thank you for elaborting. That sounds quite sensible too me. And seems either way it is a good thing to spread the news about ways to support @gnome financally.
Only by now (I just searched for it) I found individuals from Germany are able to do tax deductible donations via Way Holland Stiftung. I did not know about this before and I think it‘s very important information for people over here: https://wauland.de/de/donate/gnome/ #gnome #donations #fundraising
