KDE dev Kai Uwe Broulik "accidentally" installed #Plasma6 on his daily driver machine! What happened next will astound you

Not very interested in this. I would rather read about the best 5 things that happened to him after he accidentally installed Plasma 6.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social lol, that's a pretty interesting mistake to make, I want to do it some time! Also, I'm reading stuff about the visual issues of plasma 6, especially under wayland. However, what about accessibility? would plasma 6 become more accessible? would the orca not reading windows under wayland thing be fixed? what about the issue where you have to click the desktop with the mouse first, before you can read it with screenreaders?

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social hmm, now that I try to join the matrix room, I see that I'm already in it. Wonderful! this means that the people there heard my rumblings regarding kde, mostly the software, not the desktop, being very inaccessible and unusable. For the desktop, the worst is the settings app
@bgtlover @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social Yes, I hear your rumblings and this rumbling is more than welcome.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social ok, thanks! kde 5 is almost more accessible than gnome already, if it becomes better with kde 6, probably it's gonna be the default desktop for blind and visually impaired linux users, beginners and advanced alike. By advanced, I mean those who still use desktop environments, in stead of switching to a tiling window manager, like some I know do.

I love the clickbait title :)
this blog post warms my heart and i would add this to 8 plasma desktop stories worth reading right now ๐๐
