Boosts appreciated. I'm close to moving back to Windows. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to hold oneself back, deny oneself better and easier accessibility in the name of open source, when many open source developers don't give a crap about accessibility, and/or don't educate themselves on it. KDE connect, GSConnect, all were inaccessible for one reason or another, not the least because of Gnome-shell's terrible accessibility issues. That was just the last straw. With the only thing holding me to Linux being Emacs+Emacspeak, I think its time to quit Linux and just use what actually works. It's interesting how being "free" just means being under the power and whim of other people, a mass of developers who have no insentive for accessibility, rather than a cohesive company who does. This is serious, and I want every developer to understand this, understand my deep frustration with FOSS. #FOSS #Linux #KDE #a11y #accessibility #Windows #comunism #capitalism #software #developers
I actually had a discussion with a blind person on XMPP the other day, and they were using a terminal based XMPP client on Linux because that worked better with their input method.

are you a blind person? the person from the post is blind. That changes the perspective.

I think this is beside the point, which is the frustration pertaining the severe lack of accessibility.
