It sounds like you're saying someone should make an adventure game in kitten and now I'm getting old browser text rpg flashbacks and this definitely needs to happen.

I feel like I've said this before but nobody here is trying to hurt anybody's individual feelings when we point out shortcomings with Linux accessibility. But like... when we ask a question related to some OS or another, we're told to just switch to Linux. When I talk to my brother he enthusiastically tells me how seamless switching to Linux was for him, how many things just work. Even my dad uses Linux! My mom used Linux! They're not technical people!
And on the other side you have Microsoft, Apple, all falling over themselves to try to shovel shit into our face that we don't want, we don't need, we didn't ask for. Computing is one aspect of life where disability mattered less than in others. We could, we can, do things that non disabled folk can do too. Can you really blame us for being just a bit upset at the state of things sometimes? Especially if it feels like it's just one big great circle that doesn't end? And if that personally offends you, which it shouldn't by the way, then I don't know what to tell you. It's not like we're pointing our finger at you specifically and going "You! You're the problem!". Are we?
We can be grateful for the progress that's happening while still acknowledging that there's a lot of work to be done can't we? If we didn't, would things still happen? If we stopped telling you what was broken, would anyone help us fix it? Would you even know it's a problem? Or how much of a problem? Or what kind of problem?
We don't want to be left behind in a world that doesn't give a shit is all.

"The other major thing I need to work on soon is documentation. My current contract with the GNOME Foundation is ending soon, and we need to make sure that my current work is documented well enough that someone else can continue it if needed. This blog post itself is a step in that direction." Well that's not worrying at all...
