More like “fuck people who use Mac OS or Windows”. I saw no malice there directed at users of assistive technology, but rather of users of non-open platforms.

- kevingadd 6y agoIf the assistive technology they need to use isn't available on Linux or they don't have the ability to run Linux it's not that meaningful of a difference.
- rodgerd 6y agoExactly. It's a difference without a distinction. And rather sad that free software - which in theory ought to be a perfect place for exploring assistive options - seems to lag far behind the closed shops.
- mwcampbell 6y agoHaving discussed this with Drew, I think he was really talking about what I, personally, should choose to work on. And I think he's right that I should work on the accessibility of free software as much as I can, rather than accessibility on proprietary platforms. I don't know yet how soon I can actually start doing this.
- phkahler 6y agoIt is available on Linux. Apparently not when using GTK on Windows.
