[Meme] IBM's Brand of Diversity and Inclusion: You Can't Install GNU/Linux If You Are Blind

Wayland won't install if you are blind

Maybe Wayland is a lot more important to them than Diversity and Inclusion.

Yet worse, to IBM blind people are not a matter of Diversity and Inclusion:

Hello folks, welcome! This room is newly minted. For a while, we have been operating underneath the DEI Team. However, we agreed in our last meeting to make the A11y WG more distinct and separate, and to make room for those conversations separate from the DEI Team. So, here we are 🙂 If there are people you think should be here, please invite them or share the link to this room. The room is public and open. Our next meeting is scheduled for this coming Tuesday.

Bonus: IBM worked for the Nazis when they had a program for killing disabled people. IBM made a lot of money from eugenics.
