@TheSaigoneer I think this doesn’t work with wayland, does it?
I am a fully blind programming enthusiast, I begun my programming career with bgt, a scripting language.
Now, I know #c, #c#, #rust, #python and probably others, always looking forward to learning new things.
I’m passionate about #linux, #foss, #accessibility, #screenreaders, #technology, also I’m full on with the idea of the #fediverse.
I’m one of the founders of #odilia screenreader, you can find more details in my profile metadata
Also, you can hit me up on #matrix if you want.

@HubertManne @leo @amanneedsamaid OK then, but saying that, rather than just saying don’t use privacy badger would have made a lot of difference. I use UBlock origin, privacy pass for hcaptcha stuff, privacy badger, jshelter from time to time, plus I also use a vpn when I have to, because honestly I don’t really like using them, their apps feel clunky, etc. So yeah, it’s absolutely fine to have different solutions to the same problem installed, that incourages healthy competition
@amanneedsamaid @leo why? is it something made by them? If so, yeah, understandable
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social is this the compositor handoff protocol? is that implemented by all major compositors already?
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social hmm, now that I try to join the matrix room, I see that I’m already in it. Wonderful! this means that the people there heard my rumblings regarding kde, mostly the software, not the desktop, being very inaccessible and unusable. For the desktop, the worst is the settings app
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social ok, thanks! kde 5 is almost more accessible than gnome already, if it becomes better with kde 6, probably it’s gonna be the default desktop for blind and visually impaired linux users, beginners and advanced alike. By advanced, I mean those who still use desktop environments, in stead of switching to a tiling window manager, like some I know do.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social lol, that’s a pretty interesting mistake to make, I want to do it some time! Also, I’m reading stuff about the visual issues of plasma 6, especially under wayland. However, what about accessibility? would plasma 6 become more accessible? would the orca not reading windows under wayland thing be fixed? what about the issue where you have to click the desktop with the mouse first, before you can read it with screenreaders?
@TheSaigoneer darn it, I’m so curious now, probably I’ll be disappointed because the distro doesn’t have orca on the install medium again, or something like that, but A, worth a try I guess. But yeah, gentoo first
