@fastfinge Hmm, I daily drive remote and don't mind whether it's core or addon, but that feature alone is invaluable. Did it need to be core? Probably not. Is it better for it in my personal view? Possibly. Did the 2026.1 issue where, if your network wasn't ready in-time, you jus wouldn't fail to connect to a server cause me some problems? Yes. Could it have been solved if it was still an addon? Yes, with 3 minutes with Codex/<insert LLM here or programming knowledge if you're cooler than me> Core, I just didn't touch it. I waited and hoped it would get solved and 2026.1.1 might have solved it. I haven't rebooted recently to find out. Remote on the whole though, absolutely necessary. The rest of the article, no real comment. Haven't been adversely affected.
@FreakyFwoof I completely agree that it's required. But does that mean it should be in core? I dunno. Like I say, reasonable people can disagree. But I notice that Apple has started moving apps (apple sports, apple invites, etc) out of the main OS so they can maintain and update them seperatly.
@fastfinge@FreakyFwoof IMO, putting it in core just shows how unserious NV Access is about the enterprise market. If they go on like that, they won't be displacing JAWS anytime soon. We need a RedHat of accessibility technology, because NV Access clearly aint that.
@miki@FreakyFwoof Yes, this is another factor. But once again: jaws tandem is built in. Why is NVDA remote different? Again, I'm not sure what I think here. But I do know that the question is complicated.
