I am a fully blind programming enthusiast, I begun my programming career with bgt, a scripting language.
Now, I know #c, #c#, #rust, #python and probably others, always looking forward to learning new things.
I'm passionate about #linux, #foss, #accessibility, #screenreaders, #technology, also I'm full on with the idea of the #fediverse.
I'm one of the founders of #odilia screenreader, you can find more details in my profile metadata
Also, you can hit me up on #matrix if you want.

Plasma developer David Edmundson demonstrates how a desktop using Wayland, Qt6 and KWin can recover from a catastrophic crash as if nothing had happened.

@kde @kde is this the compositor handoff protocol? is that implemented by all major compositors already?

@kde @kde lol, that's a pretty interesting mistake to make, I want to do it some time! Also, I'm reading stuff about the visual issues of plasma 6, especially under wayland. However, what about accessibility? would plasma 6 become more accessible? would the orca not reading windows under wayland thing be fixed? what about the issue where you have to click the desktop with the mouse first, before you can read it with screenreaders?

@kde @kde ok, thanks! kde 5 is almost more accessible than gnome already, if it becomes better with kde 6, probably it's gonna be the default desktop for blind and visually impaired linux users, beginners and advanced alike. By advanced, I mean those who still use desktop environments, in stead of switching to a tiling window manager, like some I know do.

@kde @kde hmm, now that I try to join the matrix room, I see that I'm already in it. Wonderful! this means that the people there heard my rumblings regarding kde, mostly the software, not the desktop, being very inaccessible and unusable. For the desktop, the worst is the settings app
