After checking out #Fedora40 yesterday I quickly realized that it seems to not be possible to use it as a blind user. Regardless if I set the insert or the capslock-key as the modifier key for orca, the key presses will still go through to the system. So randomely typing in all caps is no fun at all. From what I could getzer it seems like a #Wayland issue not being fixed at least since 2018 that orca can't stop those keys from triggering their function. Back to #Debian where #x11 just works.

So @gnome is removing the x11 session, leaving just the Wayland one.

If this goes out before Orca, the GNOME screen reader, is fixed to work on Wayland, it will mean that people who rely on screen readers will have no way to use one on GNOME. And thus on the major Linux distributions.

So Iā€™m hoping the plan is that this change will not land until GNOME has a working screen reader.

I've just pushed the implementation of a GUI for calls in the CLI frontend of #Libervia

That means that you have a full-featured #Qt GUI accessible quickly from your #terminal to make or receive your #XMPP calls. Can also be useful to compensate for clients missing A/V calls.

Documentation at https://libervia.org/__b/doc/backend/libervia-cli/call.html

It works on #X11 and #Wayland and supports desktop sharing.

"# 5 Might Drop X.11 Support, Says # Dev" Oh no, our beloved @ebassi got the #-like illness!!! šŸ˜œ
I wasn't even aware of an eventual X12...
He knows what he says. My only hope is we can keep the # transparency that we all loved in # (even if according to https://lwn.net/Articles/553415/ X11 is not really transparent anymore)
