@antoniof has been doing some fantastic work on the new Nautilus file chooser. We're finally getting to a point where we'll be shipping a usable adaptive file chooser upstream.

(NOTE: this is still not merged, and I'm showcasing the current state of the WIP branches)

@brainblasted @antoniof Not sure from the video if it's gpu accelerated already. 🧐

@brainblasted @antoniof yay I'm really happy to see Nautilus is getting some adaptive attention!

The last boost got me blocked by Aral, so now I'm treating it as a general message: If you're frustrated with the state of accessibility on Linux, please help us understand what isn't working for you or for those you care for. And please understand that we want to do better, and we're actively working to do better.

@brainblasted the first person I blocked on here was Aral because I knew that's exactly who he is and he'll do exactly that. He doesn't understand his own position and privilege and that he's only ever used it for personal gain.

I met him 15 years ago and he's always given that vibe.

@brainblasted I would add: You could open up the screenreader yourself & report anything obviously broken!

@brainblasted I did a review of elementaryOS on my twitch/youtube that might shed some light on this, I also did an episode on Linux After Dark talking about this. While I will admit these are based on contrived examples, but might be useful nonetheless. An example of an issue with current state of things is here, for example: bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=8796
I think the main problem right now re: users reporting issues is that a lot of the issues stem from non-user-facing internals, i.e. Wayland, pipewire etc.
And they are being fixed, but whereas Wayland has been around for a minute, here's this project's progress in 2024: blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2024/06/1

It really is a shame that platforms like Reddit and Twitter are gatekeeping their APIs. It makes it impossible to build native apps for said platforms.

Just want to say kudos to all of the people within GNOME working to make it more accessible, and building up a modern accessibility stack for Wayland.

Does anyone know how I can add layers to a PDF?

When making adaptive apps for GNOME, it's important that you don't think of smaller sizes as being a mobile mode. You still need to account for desktop users that simply want to use a smaller window - like if they're using a small laptop.

Be mindful that all your UI elements are still accessible with the pointer and via keyboard navigation.

@brainblasted yes! I’m very often using applications with their smallest possible width. Fractal, Tuba and Virtual Machine Manager come to mind.
