Gregory's Server@aral Boosting this because as a lifelong Linux user with blind family, it's not okay. We need to do better. And we should listen to users as here.
Would be interested in any views on screen magnification, as opposed to screen reading, software. My family member is going to have to replace their computer shortly because of Windows 11 requires a TPM, ewww. But they're dependent on screen magnification software.
Also, one of the main complaints in the Reddit thread was the need to switch from graphical to virtual terminals, causing crashes due to audio conflicts. I would certainly have that problem, should I become blind, but I doubt my family member would.
@matthewtoad43 @aral I have even run into this wall as a seeing user. My monitor broke and my laptop is now bricked because I cannot get an external monitor to work no matter what I try. I can't tell if anything I'm doing is working or how it is breaking. If I could turn on a screen reader, I could still navigate the situation.
Accessibility features benefit *all* users, so even if you're an ableist jerk, it still makes sense to implement them.
