For the moment, you can use the Add Network Drive button to enter the URI of the server. Same syntax as in GNOME Files since it's using gvfs. Then you can add a remote path as a favorite in the nav bar with Ctrl+D.

Sometimes I see my SMB server, but I also notice it not showing up more often than not.

Rust isn't responsible for a programmer using an unwrap method where they should have handled the error.

> This seems to fall into the exact space where Rust claims to be safer.

In what way does this invalidate Rust's memory and thread safety guarantees? Panics are intentional. The unwrap method declares that the failure case is a programmer error (logic bug) that should throw an exception with a backtrace. If not manually caught, main() will unwind and print the backtrace itself.

COSMIC development has already led to accessibility improvements for the Linux desktop with Wayland, and for accessibility support in GUI app development with iced. Its also led to improvements in Wayland protocols and Wayland compositors using Smithay. I can tell you've not used, developed for, or looked at COSMIC. Username certainly checks out.

No, it sheds light on your desire to falsely accuse volunteers of doing things they aren't.

Fedora is not Red Hat or IBM. It is a community project that is sponsored by Red Hat. Same goes for most Linux projects: community-driven with some sponsored contract work.

If you actually cared about accessibility, you wouldn't be here bullying people with virtue signaling. You would be getting involved and sponsoring accessibility work. That's how open source works.

System76 isn't dying on any hill. We have been committing part of our COSMIC resources to accessibility work so that COSMIC will have functioning accessibility on release. In fact, we are currently in the process of upstreaming our AccessKit work from libcosmic into iced right now.

At the end of the day, complaining about problems on here won't achieve anything. If you want to see improvements in accessibility, then do what we're doing. Contribute, submit PRs, etc.

Quoted the blanket statement.

Not only that, but the post complains that a Fedora maintainer said that patches are welcome, and yet the first instinct in response to that is to want to block them? Not a productive attitude.

If you care about the problem, then instead of calling people abliest, go help the people who are working on this problem. GNOME is backing AccessKit, which will be in COSMIC.
