I was again reading a discussion of how evil #systemd is this morning. I guess it’s better than reading the mainstream news, but I’ve been using #linux since 1999 and systemd since Arch migrated to it, and it’s just really meh for me.

The same thing with #wayland, there’s no week without sometimes even heated discussion. I’ve been using a Wayland desktop since forever now, and it’s faster, leaner and works much better than X11 right now.

I think these heated discussions are a cycle we can’t be without in the OSS community.

TIL: #Wayland breaks most screen readers, as they are not not intended by design. (they need to interact with other apps)

Wayland is now the default in pretty much all gnome distros.

Orca has workarounds, but they are not merged and not fully working. (And a blind user can't built it without a working screen reader)

I'm not entirely sure if I got this correct, but it seems to me like the #Linux community once again booted the #blind.
