TIL: #Wayland breaks most screen readers, as they are not not intended by design. (they need to interact with other apps)

Wayland is now the default in pretty much all gnome distros.

Orca has workarounds, but they are not merged and not fully working. (And a blind user can't built it without a working screen reader)

I'm not entirely sure if I got this correct, but it seems to me like the #Linux community once again booted the #blind.

in reply to betalars :antifa:

tbh situation was very bad before wayland too so... shrug I've given up on running gnu/linux as a desktop OS. I know some blind people manage but they have more patience than me at this stage.
