This isn’t a bug.
This is neglect.”

(And its ableist culture will sooner make you the villain for criticising it rather than acknowledging the failing and fixing the status quo. https://ar.al/2024/06/23/fedora-has-been-shipping-with-a-broken-screen-reader-for-nine-years-but-the-real-problem-is-me/ There’s a reason I’m back on Mac after six years on Linux. As a developer, it was impacting my ability to make what I’m building accessible. And I reject the unspoken premise that the source being open is somehow more important than the human right to universal access. Ethical technology requires more than just the “four freedoms” https://web.archive.org/web/20250418090901/https://ind.ie/ethical-design/ This is why inclusivity is a core Small Technology principle. https://small-tech.org/about/#small-technology)

🌍 Today, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we stand together to amplify the leadership of persons with disabilities. The theme for 2024, "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future," reminds us that everyone deserves a voice in shaping their lives.

🗣️ The global disability rights movement teaches us that participation, representation, and inclusion are not just ideals but essential rights. Let's support the efforts of persons with disabilities and their organizations in advocating for equitable access to services and opportunities.

💪 Together, we can create a world where all individuals can thrive, ensuring no one is left behind. Join us in celebrating the achievements and contributions of persons with disabilities to our communities!

What an irony! Volvo is sending hard-copy promotion called "freedom to move" - i.e. freedom to those who can afford luxury cars, and will clog roads reducing everyone's ability to get around. Plus the publicity is sent to people who didn't sign up, and each "magazine" weighs 350g.
