The importance of appropriately putting emphasis on a subject avoids misplacing blame towards groups that have no control over a given situation. For example:
"Wayland has a lot of compatibility issues with XYZ"
This makes Wayland the subject of the sentence, and thus puts emphasis on Wayland […]

Question for any blind desktop Linux users, particularly GNOME users, out there: What are the remaining practical issues with running Orca in a Wayland-based GNOME session? I'm guessing inability to synthesize mouse clicks is the main one.

If you are not yet convinced that Fedora Flatpaks is a hostile 'alternative' to Flathub, here's a good one for you:
