I was helping an open-source app become more #accessible yesterday and we ran into the problem that it looks like #screenReader Orca has a bit of a tendency to crash when exposed to webkitGTK applicat...
The consensus seems to be that yes, this is broken, and no, there's not really any way around it for the moment. Also no, nobody's really fixing it.

But it's exactly this kind of thing that make me entirely unable to consider any Linux flavor as an OS I could be productive in, heck ... that I could get light usage out of. When it comes to #accessibility stuff either breaks and stays broken for years or even longer, or never worked well to begin with. I know there's efforts on their way to fix that, and all the respect, gratitude and solidarity with the people doing that no doubt thankless, against-the-current work, but as of right now there's just not enough here for me to warrant the gigantic effort and investment to get anything usable out of it that actually stays usable longterm.
