     @danirabbit Fuck these right-wing asshats trying to claim the cross-platform, standards-based, accesstibility-supporting window system as their cause.

     We've seen this again and again and it's so tiring: discrediting things that matter by associating it with their vile bigotry.

     I remember when it was "systemd in Debian is a feminist conspiracy!" 🙄 🤬

     Drive them out of FOSS entirely.

     @alwayscurious @danirabbit Yeah. I'm fine with having early channel for people it works for to adopt it right away. I'm not cool with pushing forced migrations through dependency stacks, especially when they're regressions for important things like accessibility.

     @danirabbit @dalias Wayland accessibility has taken far too long to implement, meaning that those who have certain disabilities are forced to continue using the legacy X11 stack.

     @alwayscurious We’re doing our best with extremely limited resources. If you have the ability, please get involved, even if that just means filing issue reports

     @danirabbit @dalias Is the lack of resources the reason the push to Wayland happened before Wayland accessibility was ready?

     @dalias I think it’s important to note that Wayland is in itself exactly an example of standards, is a freedesktop project adopted across multiple desktops, and has actually pushed the adoption of many more cross-desktop standards like Portals that have even increased toolkit compatibility with macOS and Windows. And also folks working on Wayland compositors absolutely do care about and support accessibility use cases. Let’s please stop this nonsense about idealizing X11

     May their misbegotten fork languish in obscurity for all eternity.

     @bruce @danirabbit I mean I'd be happy with the list of ppl involved not languishing in obscurity but being prominently circulated as "folks who should not have roles".

     @foolishowl @danirabbit Real critics do have real points. Then a bunch of RWNJs show up and steal the scene and make everyone look bad by association. (See: nazi bar theory)

     @dalias @danirabbit What?

     I was just getting to think that the critics of systemd might have some valid points, and then I see this.
