Wow.
An excellent post from a blind screen reader user, on how bad accessibility is on Linux (edit: the poster is on Mastodon as well: @fireborn)
https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/i-want-to-love-linux-it-doesnt-love-me-back-post-1-built-for-control-but-not-for-people/It is a fucking shame. And it is pure neglect, as pointed out in the blog post.
Hot take: a new version of open source software should not release before accessibility is fixed. It should be treated as a show stopper, because it actually is for people with a disability.

So, blind people that care about their privacy and security are basically fucked. Either:
1. They buy an Apple computer (accessibility is very good, and a good screen reader)
2. They buy a Windows computer and need to buy a license for Jaws screen reader (if they can't work with NVDA or Windows Narrator).It is fucking ableism. Fucking privilige. And I hate it.
