Oh, thank goodness not having a fully functional screen reader isn’t a blocker for Fedora 41. We wouldn’t want them to miss their 10th anniversary of shipping an operating system without a fully functional screen reader, after all.

Fedora has an ableism problem but woe to you if you point it out.Aral Balkan
“Buh, Aral, #Fedora is a volunteer project… you a nasty bum-bum criticising us for shipping an operating system without a functional screen reader by default for EIGHT YEARS…”
Meanwhile, in reality: “The Fedora Project is not a separate legal entity or organization; Red Hat retains liability for its actions.”
Who owns Red Hat?
#IBM.
What is IBM? A 150 billion-dollar corporation.
Cut the “we’re volunteers” bullshit, acknowledge your ableist culture, and do better.
For eight years Fedora has been shipping GNOME with a broken screen reader!
EIGHT YEARS!
(Wayland has been default on Fedora for eight years – since Fedora 25, released in 2016.)
And a hundred-billion-dollar corporation like IBM ships operating systems today based on it with a broken screen reader.
What is an ableist culture? One in which the people who call this out get ostracised.

Yeah, where are their glory days when they had technicians right in the middle of concentration camps, keeping their Hollerith machines ticking along as they helped Hitler carry out the Holocaust? (huffpost.com/entry/ibm-holocau…)
PS. It’s ok, they haven’t changed that much, their current CEO was the first tech exec to write to Trump publicly offering him anything he needed (ibm.com/blogs/policy/ibm-ceo-g…). Also, they did some innovative work with Duterte (typeinvestigations.org/investi…) #ibm
