Superbloom<p>Defining gender diversity isn’t just a semantic exercise for a brand—it’s the foundation for respectful, effective & inclusive design. Designing for marginalised genders & identities means clarifying who that includes, acknowledging experiences & creating with authenticity. While this process can be challenging, the result is genuine connection & impact.

aaron<p>You’ve seen my posts about Linux accessibility. You’ve read me scream about broken screen readers, unusable bootloaders, and the sheer volume of stuff that only works after three undocumented hacks and a blood sacrifice. That’s from someone who already knows how to deal with this mess.<br>But what happens when someone new tries to step in?<br>My partner just published the first post in a new blog series called “Linux: Helpful or Headache?” It’s a personal account of what it feels like to stare into the abyss of Linux as a blind user who hasn’t even installed it yet. This isn’t a “how to” guide. It’s not a technical tutorial. It’s a moment of honest vulnerability and curiosity in the face of a system that’s infamous for treating newcomers like an inconvenience.<br>Part One – An Introduction<br><a href="https://reading4life.mataroa.blog/blog/linux-helpful-or-headache-part-one-an-introduction/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">reading4life.mataroa.blog/blog</span><span class="invisible">/linux-helpful-or-headache-part-one-an-introduction/</span></a><br>She’s totally blind. She’s used to Windows and iOS — platforms where accessibility is at least visible, documented, and supported. Linux? From the outside, it looks like a twisted obstacle course: too many distros, zero onboarding, no centralized help, and a community that can't agree on anything except that "you should have read the wiki."<br>And yet… she’s jumping in anyway.<br>This first post talks about that pre-installation limbo. The “what the hell even is a distro?” stage. The existential dread of picking between MATE and GNOME when you don’t even know how to pronounce “Flatpak.” The raw, unfiltered feeling of not knowing what you don’t know — and doing it anyway, because the itch to explore is stronger than the fear of breaking stuff.<br>There’s no cheerleading here. No “yay open source!” No tidy beginner tutorial with copy-paste terminal commands. Just one blind woman staring down the reality that Linux doesn’t come with a support number, and deciding to try it anyway — not because it’s easy, but because she wants to learn, grow, and maybe even call bullshit where it’s due.<br>And if you're wondering — no, I didn’t write or co-write it. This is her voice, her experience, her story. But it does tie in beautifully with the nightmare I’ve been chronicling in my own posts, from a totally different vantage point.<br>If you’ve ever tried to onboard someone to Linux, especially someone disabled, this is what it actually looks like. And if you’ve ever told someone “Linux is great, just pick a distro,” read this and realize how much we take for granted.<br>Go read it. Boost it. Follow the series.

One example that comes to mind is the need for more personalized customization in health tracking features on <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Wearables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wearables</span></a> like the <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/AppleWatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppleWatch</span></a>. </p><p>For me, the exercise and stand goals aren’t realistic due to my health limitations. On bad days, the constant reminders to move can feel discouraging rather than motivating. While there’s the option to turn notifications off entirely, I still want to track my movement or standing progress in a more flexible way. It would make a huge difference if the activity rings and goals could be fully customizable to accommodate individual abilities and needs. </p><p>To my fellow <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Disabled</span></a> and <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/ChronicPain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicPain</span></a> warriors: What other areas do you think tech could be more inclusive? Whether it’s device features, apps, or software design, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Would you also be okay with me including your name or username and a quote from you in the blog post? I want to uplift your voices as part of the conversation. </p><p>Although this post is meant to elevate disabled voices, developers, designers, and usability experts are welcome to join the discussion
