Do you know how long Wayland has been default on Fedora? I just looked it up. Since Fedora 25. For eight years. I hadn’t even realised. EIGHT YEARS, Fedora has been shipping GNOME with a broken screen reader!
And hundred-million-dollar corporations like IBM & Canonical ship operating systems today based on GNOME with a broken screen readers.
Why do I say “ableist?” Because this can only happen in an ableist culture.
