I never thought I’d be this upset to a point I’d be writing an article about something this sensitive with a clickbait-y title. It’s simultaneously demotivating, unproductive, and infuriating. I’m here writing this post fully knowing that I could have been working on accessibility in GNOME, but really, I’m so tired of having my mood ruined because of privileged people spending at most 5 minutes to write erroneous posts and then pretending to be oblivious when confronted while it takes us 5 months of unpaid work to get a quarter of recognition, let alone acknowledgment, without accounting for the time “wasted” addressing these accusations.
I beg you, please keep writing banger posts like fireborn’s I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back series and their interluding post. We need more people with disabilities to keep reminding developers that you exist and your conditions and disabilities are a spectrum and not absolute.
TheEvilSkeleton is a pretty big GNOME developer whom I’m pretty sure I’ve bumped into before.
haha partway through the article I was like why don’t you just use NixOS and then they actually covered it.
It looks like if NixOS spent some time working on its accessibility during setup, It could be a really good solution.
Does NixOs have a set of good documentation yet, or is it still “just read these 6 different articles/ebooks, but dont listen do the what the 3rd book talks about in its second half, except for chapter 7. Do chapter 7, but how guide 4 describes it. Then you should have a default config and everything will be perfect.”
