While we were photographing bears getting some fatty salmon, I looked behind me for no particular reason and saw a pod of four orcas travelling very close to shore. Seals that observed us all morning were gone, hiding from the orcas.

I often mention to the guests on my photo tours and photo workshops to look behind them. You never know what you'll find.

shouldn't #Orca just work as part of the #Wayland-running #Gnome session?

If not, then the Orca devs need to push for Gnome to help make it work...

“For those wanting to build a Wayland-only Linux desktop experience without carrying any aging X11 baggage, GNOME 47 will be able to optionally offer Wayland-only support without carrying X11/X.Org support.”

How cool… does this mean there’s now a fully functional screen reader for Wayland-only GNOME or should we tell people who rely on screen readers to just suck it up?

GNOME 47 Can Now Be Built With X11 Support Disabled

Last week the GNOME 47 development code saw Wayland DRM lease protocol support for enhancing VR headset handling and separately was also accent color support for GNOME Shell

Oh, thank goodness not having a fully functional screen reader isn’t a blocker for Fedora 41. We wouldn’t want them to miss their 10th anniversary of shipping an operating system without a fully functional screen reader, after all.
