Lime Buzz (fae/she)

fae/she

Plural and not human, don’t refer to us as human in any way, we aren’t.

Never tell us what we’re feeling, why we’re doing something or what we are etc.

Bigots fuck off, you’re being ignorant assholes.

Ask more questions, assume less.

  • Thanks for asking!

    Well, to give one example: It has a lot of work to do for blind/visually impaired people, at the very least. Most installers do not come with a screen reader or if it does then it often crashes (it also crashes a lot when installed I am told, at least Orca does). Pipewire, which is used primarily for sound, requires major messing with to be used between user sessions as it cares about security over accessibility, and thus is tied to user permissions, unless you modify it to be accessible, which is going to be difficult when things cannot be seen by the user.

    There’s a lot of projects for which either patches or the technologies already exist to make things more accessible. However, sadly, a lot of devs prefer new features over fixing things to help make things more accessible. So a lot of people who need such fixes are left behind and thus cannot use linux.















  • Yeah, sadly the problem with most unions is they do not go far enough, as the end goal of any union should be to take over the company and make it a worker-owned, or other type of, co-op.

    Sadly like the pieces of text you pulled from the article says they have been defanged before they ever had a chance. This saddens me and we need unions that are willing to do more, that are less hierarchical (I have heard some awful stories of union ‘leaders’ agreeing to things which were not in the worker’s interests or just being telling them not to undertake certain actions).

    Unions need to be truly radical if they’re going to actually stand a chance, they need to ignore and subvert power and even the law.
