Fedora has been shipping with a broken screen reader for nine years


Fedora has an ableism problem but woe to you if you point it out.

This is your last chance to stop reading before we get to the ensuing drama which I’m including because I want there to be a record of the timeline and I want to be able to address some of factual errors in the personal attacks that have been levelled at me for speaking up about this. Fedora has been shipping their operating system with a broken screen reader by default for NINE YEARS and here I am, being publicly shamed for making a fuss about it. I am hugely excited about where my work on the Small Web is leading and I can’t wait for Kitten to hit API Version 1 and to soft launch Domain and Yarn this year.
