It’s True, “We” Don’t Care About Accessibility on Linux

It’s True, “We” Don’t Care About Accessibility on Linux

What do virtue-signalers and privileged people without disabilities sharing content about accessibility on Linux being trash have in common? They don’t actually really care about the group they’re defending; they just exploit these victims’ unfortunate situation to fuel hate against groups and projects actually trying to make the world a better place. 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 didn’t plan to write about Wayland yet. But Xorg is dying — not eventually, but now. GNOME’s dropping X11 support. RHEL already removed it. Ubuntu and Fedora are next. And if you rely on accessibility, you don’t get to wait this one out.
So here’s Post 4 of I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back.
I’m using Wayland now. Primarily. Not because I love it. Because the fallback is disappearing, and I want to be there helping fix what comes next. GNOME with Orca actually works. KDE and COSMIC are making progress. I’ve talked to the people involved. They care.
But a lot is broken.
MATE — the desktop most blind users preferred — isn’t on Wayland.
ocrdesktop doesn’t work. xdotool is gone.
wlroots compositors still don’t reliably support Orca’s keybindings, especially on laptops.
This isn’t GNOME’s fault. They’re the only reason accessibility on Wayland works at all.
But the old excuses are gone. “Just use Xorg” isn’t going to be an option much longer.
So yeah. I’m a Wayland shill now. Because I’m using it. Because I have to.
And I want to make sure we’re not excluded from what comes next.

📌 post on the new server after being evicted from home.social (RIP).

Like it says in my profile, I’m from the UK. I mostly go on about the music I’m into and the work I do, because both are important to me. The cat is called Lucy Fur. My health is a fucking rollercoaster and I’m exhausted.

Hashtag party 🎉

I was shocked last month when @PleaseDontRainPlease Don't Rain was nominated for a Golden Apple award by @AppleVis .

I wrote a blog post with some thoughts about the experience and bunch of tips that will hopefully help others make their app more accessible.

For a "developer focused" analyst firm, I feel like this article is somewhat throwing developers under a bus:

redmonk.com/kholterhoff/2025/0

And not one mention - apart from within 3 links, hyperlinked from the single words within "(and some skepticism)" - of accessibility.

She even speaks of past experience of working with marketers when the devs were too busy, who "used Webflow to spin up a quick and dirty website" - exactly. Quick and dirty and not usable for everyone.

Introducing the Designer-First CMS

For years, choosing a content management system (CMS) meant picking sides: a developer-first platform or a marketer-first one, but recently the designer-first CMS has gained traction. Earlier this month Figma Sites debuted at the Config 2025 conference and garnered a lot of buzz. While Figma’s dominance in the design market accounts for much of this

## 「メガネで見る字幕ガイド」や「スマホで聴く音声ガイド」が拓く未来 情報保障の方法には、オープン型とクローズ型（セカンドスクリーン）があります。 視聴覚障害者が邦画を楽しめない問題に気付いた20年前、映画館での字幕付与に関していえば、オープン型の「焼き付け字幕」のみでした。当時は焼き付け字幕のフィルムを別に作らなければならず、大きなコストもかかり、バリアフリー字幕付きの邦画はほぼ存在しませんでした。 そこで「字幕の表示できるメガネ」があればと考え、実験を開始しました。 現在、邦画メジャー作品は殆ど「メガネで見る字幕ガイド」、そして「スマホで聴く音声ガイド」に対応しています。 映...
