@modulux@node.isonomia.net @quetzatl@mastodon.social @pixelate@tweesecake.social The removal of the vt subsystem was what I was refering to. Not coming from the kernel folks, but rather the distro folks like fedora, which heavily drives the development of systemd and other distros. Can you imagine that? Having to get a full wayland stack with at-spi and orca just to get a terminal? I cannot. And the extremely ableist comments from the kernel mailing list drove it home for me. Nicolas Pitre himself is pissed off about this change. And noone listens to him in all of this. What chance do the rest of us have?

It was a combo of several things happening that caused me to decide this extreme: https://xogium.me/173-times-why-a-simple-arch-linux-reinstall-pushed-me-to-look-at-macos https://xogium.me/the-next-best-decision-stepping-away-from-the-linux-desktop

@xogium@tech.lgbt @quetzatl@mastodon.social @pixelate@tweesecake.social Thanks, I was not aware that was going on; and no, it's definitely not great news. I do think absent some serious budget probably from some public institution, a11y under gnu/linux is going to stay screwed.
