Gnome is getting ready for disability pride month. Are you excited?

>>105695060 (OP)
Fuck that performative bullshit. Celebrating disability pride month while refusing to improve accessibility.
I don't care that they do either of those, but doing both annoys me.

As long as they focus on improving accessibility to help users with disabilities have a better and more efficient user experience.

>>105695117
They did but only for themselves. They control the only usable screen reader and made sure to use only gnome libraries (dbus, systemd). KDE won't pass the EU accessibility requirements, Gnome will, hardware will be forced to ship with gnome only. Gnome won.

fuck chuds

>>105695060 (OP)
lmao all this virtue signaling and not a word about writing code. Like, they could actually do something. It's kinda their jobs, but even then they just want to virtue signal.

Hope my blind niggas enjoy their new wallpaper and banners.

>>105695405
>why don't people doing marketing write code?
retard

>>105695461
Why the fuck does gnome have marketing?

Come home white man.

>>105695168
how can blind people use a computer to begin with?

>>105695495
and i ask sincerely. i really have no idea how it works. my personal experience with text to speech / speech to commands have been atrocious.

>>105695495
with a screen reader
there are shortcuts and functions that make life easier like listing all links, navigating between sections and clickable elements and similar. It's not great but it's the best there is at the moment.

>>105695524
man it must be a pain to use if you can't see. my experience with readers / speech to text and all that has been awful.

>>105695636
you get used to it. It's either that or not using a computer. I imagine dentures are also awful but the alternative is not eating.

>Be autistic
>Don't like the majority of other autists

>>105695060 (OP)
we are living in the worst timeline

>>105695168
>They control the only usable screen reader
Objectively false, without X11 they lack the ability to use most hardware and existing software screen readers. XWayland doesn't cut it.

X11 can still pass all accessibility requirements. The solution is to reject Wayland.

>>105695524
>with a screen reader that wayland doesn't support
Retard.

>>105695471
They have marketing like this:

>>105695060 (OP)
Every month is disability pride month if you use this shit DE

>>105696185
screen readers work on wayland, im using one right now. He linked to the faq in his blog post. Screen readers work. For a long time we couldn't use some global shortcuts but we can now. Obviously not all programs have good accessibility. GTK does okay. QT lacks navigational structure in my opinion. COSMIC does not have accessibility trees at all. Browsers are good.

>>105695471
'engagement' and all DEs and distros have it. KDE's wallpaper contests and konqi art is part of these. The donations campaigns are made by these teams. Merch too.
You don't want programmers to make artwork and write speeches addressing normies.

>>105696235
You clearly don't want GNOME marketing writing blog posts. They're constantly having meltdowns. The entire GNOME foundation is a constant embarrassment and in a giant money hole. Thanks shaman holly.

>>105696624
We need to get some really good liars / manipulators to feign being leftist woke tards to infiltrate the FOSS community to undermine the leftist who control it. Do a long march through the FOSS institutions.

cant wait for inability pride month.
>you are unable to have desktop notifications
>you are unable to have different colors other than the ones provided.
>we are unable fix these problems.

>>105695322
I'm a chud and also autistic on disability
disability pride month is for me, not for neurotypical gay communists
stop trying to appropriate it

>foot logo
bit insensitive to wheelchair users dont you think?

>>105695060 (OP)
I always suspected gnome developers were retarded.

>>105695060 (OP)
Again? June is disability month

>ebussy makes a month just for himself

>>105695060 (OP)
I'm never gonna stop using GNOME, chuddie.

The Bible said pride was a deadly sin for very good reason. I'm not a chistfag but they had some decent ideas about society.

>>105695060 (OP)
give me one reason to care about retards and other deadweights

>>105695060 (OP)
yes, im proud retard

>>105695060 (OP)
Does autism count?

>>105695095
>Celebrating disability pride month while refusing to improve accessibility.
Big Oof. You're not kidding, they're just going to advertise while not doing shit to actually improve accessibility.

>>105695060 (OP)
What's there to be proud of about being crippled?
These niggas are quite literally mentally ill and it's not even an exaggeration.

Why do fat people get mad at literally everything, even cripples? Normal weight people don't act like this!

>>105696938
that's literally every month on linux desktop

>Are you excited?
No. I'm sick of this shit. It's graphical software not some political or social platform. What's the point of trying to divide your userbase, to make them tired, to waste effort and resources so brazenly. No I'm not excited.

>>105695500
Screen readers.
https://www.afb.org/blindness-and-low-vision/using-technology/assistive-technology-products/screen-readers

Basically they're listening to "audio-books" style UI.

Take your browser (Firefox in this example): "Four-chan - slash g slash dash Gnome (pronounced like the fantasy character -Anon) is getting ready for disability priude month. Are you excited?"

And then if you make a reply:

"Name" (tab)
"Options" (tab)
"Blank input" (they type what they want while the reader says what they're trying) (tab)
"Get Captcha" (tab) "Type the Captcha here." (they do, but in this case 4chan's Captcha isn't blind/A11y-friendly) (tab)
"Browse" (file upload, but they don't know that) (tab)
"Post" (Enter)
--
Done.

"iToddlers"/Apple has it built into the iPhone and I think Android has it as well if you want to enable it and see for yourself. It's a bit maddening if you're not used to things telling you what they are and how the navigation works, but eventually you get used to it.

>>105699787
man that's a pain in the ass to have to do that.

>>105695060 (OP)
A month where people are proud to be disabled or is it a month for homos who happen to also be crippled?

>>105700641
Both. With more of a focus on the faggot that happens to have no legs because a faggot is more oppressed as a cripple than a non faggot because the faggot has to be a faggot on top of being a cripple.

>>105700653
Do we really need multiple pride months?

>>105700663
Yes. Everyday you are to worship some leftist cause because leftism is a feminine ideology, and being a feminine ideology, like women, they need a constant stream of attention and validation.

YES! So excited for this !!! Hope KDE can offer something similar.

MY HEART SWELLS WITH PRIDE WHEN I THINK OF HOW I HAVE NO LEGS

>>105695060 (OP)
I'm so proud of being an autist nonce mentally ill accident. Disability pride month let's go!

>>105695744
I like them :)

>>105695060 (OP)
>it was really energizing to see everyone work together toward the shared outcome
JAJAJAJAJJA

>corporate fluff by cynical bootlickers
Gnome foundation are turncoats. Like all corps (foss or not), they only care about two things: money and things that negativley impact profit.

If you abuse a tech project to make political statements i take it your 100% fucked up in the head
the same applies to hentai artists on twitter wo out of the blue start posting political stuff when im there to fap lmao.

>>105695060 (OP)
they are all disabled (mentally)

>>105695471
imagine donating to them to waste money on bullshit like this
I don't know who donates all that money to these retards

sanest leftist idea

>>105704981
i refuse to believe anyone actually uses gnome

>>105706674
>RHEL, SUSE, Canonical, all only provide GNOME to their millions of paying customers
>"uhm nobody uses gnome! everyone uses awesomeDM, look at r/unixporn!!!"
some people do work
some people play with their computers

>>105707045
It's unfortunate that me, a single hobbyist, could do work x100 faster because I don't have to constantly move my mouse.

>>105695060 (OP)
Why even have disability pride month when everyone who uses gnome is disabled already, noone else cares.

As someone with physical disabilities that make living suck, why the FUCK would I feel pride for having them?

>>105695060 (OP)
software? yea i think windows won

>>105695060 (OP)
This is a legitimate question. I don't agree with the whole Pride Month thing, but I get how porn obsessed people would want to celebrate their fetishes because sex inherently feels good. But why would anyone want to celebrate having a disability?

>>105695495
>>105695500
orca does the job well enough. still improvements need to be made regarding it on linux.

>>105699751
not so much about being proud but rather being accepted for being what you are (and preferably not bullied for it).
t. disabled

>>105708659
>muh acceptance
Fuck off retarded faggot, learn how to accept yourself first, and all your imaginary problems will fix itselves.

>>105695060 (OP)
What will Gnome do to improve accessibility for disabled users? Im all for disability rights, but needs to practice what it preaches
If it fails out of the box, they will switch back to Windows
