Peertube 2.2 released


Personally, i would not call Gnome as the most accessible as of now. From personal experiences, Mate fares better in this regard. Of course, it has its quirks as well.


Oh right, I totally forgot about MATE. My knowledge of GNOME accessibility is only second-hand.


Unfortunately, this is missing the semantic metadata about the fact that it's a tree. It might be fine in some cases, but in general you would want to add some Aria attributes. But i'm not sure whether you could generate the entire thing server-side.


I might start to be grateful for the screen reading software - these tricks fortunately don't work when you use NVDA or Orca, because they have its own virtual buffer and they intercept the copy command soon enough that the browser has no idea about it.


Agreed. And some accessibility related work would also help, for now, i doubt i would have any chance convincing any of my visually impaired friends to use the keybase apps.


Generally speaking, yes, they do. But the answer is, as always, more complex than that. Firstly, some types of games (text adventures, MUDs etc.) are more favorable for enjoynment by visually impaired people. When it comes to the traditional genres, it usually ends up being an issue, e. g. the mainstream games more often than not are not playable, but there's an entire genre of games which do not rely on visual information and instead use audio (usually stereo + might be some HRTF tricks).
