While celebrating my previous post of working call audio @[email protected] left this excellent comment:

And this reminded me something that i and many devs sadly often forget, if its works for me it doesn’t mean it works for everyone.

My philosophy is that linux should be as accesible as possible, nobody should be forced to be stuck with big tech.

So i tried my best to add orca screenreader support to plasma-mobile.

I mad this statement on my previous post

But a successful one!

But i genuinely don’t know if i can claim that today, i don’t use a screenreader so i don’t know what the user experience should look like. I will glady incorporate feedback.

As with my kernel patches i will be working to upstream this with KDE, since this is probably not controversial i think it should be accepted quite quickly.

Small celebration:

I was quite happy when i saw this in my inbox:

+maintainers:

It looks like im being upgraded from linux contributor to linux maintainer!

Selling fp6 with pmos preflashed and with my patches preinstalled

Some comments mentioned this and it got me thinking, would there be demand for this?

I would be selling them on my catcrafts.net website, payment methods would be my bunq so wero, bancontact, credit card and crypto.

If you are interested in this, please upvote my comment, ive been looking into this and there is quite alot of administration that comes with it, so i would like to only do this if there is actual demand.

I would be shipping to any place i can. I will be shipping from the Netherlands, so keep that in mind for import duties and shipping costs.

    I can’t knock this if you see this as a business opportunity or a means to support your work on open source

    I don’t intend to run it as a profit making business, i do say my dream would be able to quit my job and do open source full time, sadly that does require money since i need to eat. So i would like to make as little profit as possible but enough that i can pay myself a living wage.

    but my impression is that over time these patches will be upstreamed and the installation will be simple(ish?)

    Ofcourse! This is still happening, this would be for the people that just want it out of the box or could otherwise not purchase one.
