Please boost:
A screen reader for Linux (GUI) is being developed in Rust. If anyone knows Rust and would like to help, or to just view the great work taking shape here, see:
@devinprater Very interested in seeing where this goes.
You might get some attention if you shared it on /r/linux or /r/rust on Reddit.
@devinprater if this will be released as GPL (free software) maybe it can be added to the free software directory @fsf @fsfe
@zleap @devinprater @fsf @fsfe It is currently GPLv3.
@zleap @devinprater @fsf @fsfe I see a gpl v3 license here - https://github.com/yggdrasil-sr/yggdrasil-prototype
@zleap @devinprater I'm fairly sure that free software directories by @fsf and @fsfe approve of non-GPL software as well. Vim is an example.
@huy_ngo @devinprater @fsf @fsfe
Not sure but I can try and find out.
@devinprater oooooh neat. Think I'll contribute when my current projects are done.
@devinprater a little worried about the name collision with the networking tool but looks exciting
@devinprater HN discussion:

@dredmorbius Thanks. Hopefully it gets some discussion.
@devinprater If it doesn't, re-submissions every few days are fine.
The sheer repetition will start to raise awareness.
@dredmorbius Time for a Chron job? :D
@devinprater Yeah, just make sure we mark places where the dragons be.
@unfa I don't think I understand, sorry.
@devinprater "here be dragons" is a phrase that was put beyond known regions on the world maps when not all of the earth has been mapped out yet. So I meant "let's just make sure people know which servers are off-limits and potentially dangerous".
@unfa What does a screen reader have to do with servers?
@devinprater Oh. I am sorry. Somehow I have replied to your Toot by mistake. It was meant for something else.
@devinprater
Oops. Now two Yggdrasils to keep track of..
@maze Luckily the project is new, so the name can change.
Would like to contribute, but why are you not hosting on @codeberg , so everybody who doesn't want to get fucked by MS is also able to work on such a nice project?
@jeffcliff @Zergling_man Why not? Also it's not my project.
@jeffcliff @Zergling_man Okay. I agree they could have hosted it on Gitlab or something, and you can definitely contact them. It's early in the software stage so they can still change. Also Github is very accessible for blind programmers, which is what this is being made by.
@devinprater This is great, I shall boost.
