    It appears to be a discussion not an announcement of a decision. Am I missing something? In replies another suggests banningntje use of canonical in those states for example.

    It is authoritarianism plain and dimple, it is the end of privacy and the first amendment, its a brain implant from Musk.

    Fuck California Dems. Throw them out at primaries. 1st Amendment Dems, New Deal Dems. Start the removal.

    Get organised.

          Hot take [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

          Linux accessibility isn't going to improve until more disabled people use Linux. This really, really sucks, but we have to file the issues. We have to build the stuff. And I say we, not I, because I can't handle a job and trying to vibe code stuff into working when I don't know what I'm doing, and don't know good design. Honestly I do much better vibe coding my own stuff from scratch.

          Anyway if we want freedom, we have to fight for it. And since the issues we create will be public, we can show them off. Pass them around for people to duplicate, comment on, and fix. And since Linux and its desktops are all open source, if they won't accept a vibe coded, but working, fix, we can fork it and use it ourselves. I'm on Linux right now. I know at least one other person on Mastodon is also on Linux that's blind. There's the Orca mailing list, Blinux list, and Stormux list with other blind Linux users. If you want freedom, you, sadly, must work for it.

          If we get enough people on Linux, the organizations for the blind will get the hint, just like they did for Mastodon. So if you don't like big tech, or you don't like the accessibility issues plaguing the OS and spreading like a plague, or you want to own your computing environment, come on in. The water isn't fine, I'd say, but it's not as much of a chaotic ocean as it was even a few years ago.

          Go with Fedora, or another distribution that has an up-to-date accessibility system. Orca 49 is the newest. I don't know what has but the developer would love feedback.

          People who I'd recommend stay away are those who use Braille as their primary reading method. Linux so isn't ready for that yet, unless you know the command line and only want to use that. Also there is no grade 2 Braille entry. Yeah that really sucks. But the basics are there, and if enough Braille users hack at it, we can lower that ladder. Also there's not plugin support for Orca yet. That's being worked on. But you can always create your own tools, and set keyboard commands for them. You can even set keyboard commands to programs in Mate's keyboard settings.

                To whomever this may concern and to get you a break from the international news:

                Your daily driver Windows computer is not obsolete after October 13th 2026. And above all it is NOT E-waste.

                Your Apple computer is not E-waste if Tim Cook says so.

                Chances are that even the beige DELL tower from 2003, which is currently holding the barn door open, is not obsolete.

                And if you have an old/broken computer: please sell or donate it. If nothing else, someone can learn to solder working on it.

                Contact your local IT nerd for further questions. The one with an Atari or Amiga T-shirt. Someone you know will know one.

                You can also contact IT nerds here in the fediverse. Almost all of us are here.
