Fedora has an ableism problem but woe to you if you point it out.

Thanks for sharing, I think you raise great points about the FOSS community.

I also have an iPhone due to my disability, Android isn't even an option. It was interesting to read that blind users are in a similar predicament. The idea to move away from bigtec is just inconceivable for something where I rely on accessibility.

That's interesting that Android isn't an option for the visually impaired, since they have on-device captioning for all sounds played through the device for the hearing impaired. Well, not all Androids, but Pixel Phones do. It's a shame that they've missed the mark for the visually impaired, since they've provided a great service for the hearing impaired.
