The Linux Foundation is Deeply Committed to Diversity and Inclusiveness (as Long as You Have Perfect Vision and Use 'Big Browsers' That Spy)

Linux Foundation access issues



Summary: The Linux Foundation's message of inclusiveness refers only to a particular kind of inclusiveness

"The Linux Foundation is Deeply Committed to Diversity and Inclusiveness," say several pages, including this one in the title.



"It is only getting worse over time; months ago I was no longer able to access the site at all using my GNU/Linux (KDE) browser."We've already mentioned that this site has spyware in all the Web pages and other usability ("UX") type issues, not to mention severe accessibility issues (see above).

It is only getting worse over time; months ago I was no longer able to access the site at all using my GNU/Linux (KDE) browser. I cannot press the X, as it has no effect.

Linux Foundation diversity



I cannot move anywhere. Same here:

Linux Foundation diversity programs



I cannot click on anything or highlight anything. Scrolling up and down is all I can do. Even with JavaScript fully enabled!

"Scrolling up and down is all I can do. Even with JavaScript fully enabled!"It's clear that whoever develops the site only bothers checking if it works in GAFAM+Firefox browsers, nothing else. They're all proprietary with DRM.

It's pretty damning that every single page is like this. So to access the site of something called Linux Foundation I cannot use my Linux Web browser.

"It's clear that whoever develops the site only bothers checking if it works in GAFAM+Firefox browsers, nothing else."Then you have to wonder if they're inclusive of blind people or other people who have special needs when navigating the site. The Linux Foundation made even me feel disabled; for failing to use the site with an actual Linux Web browser.

GitHub is moving in a similar direction and is now Director at Large in the Foundation.

The Foundation says it helps setting/crafting standards, but that too isn't a consistent message (actions not matching one's words or perceived values). 81 validation errors/warnings in the front page alone.
