Re: Debian accessibility news
[by huge fonts i meant being able to increase font size in all areas
of debian to huge. by huge dpi i meant having dpi be respected as a
scaling factor. by no blinking i meant ability to make all cursors,
such as in console, not blink, and do so reliably even after e.g.
emacs invocation. by ddccontrol broken, i meant the ability to
control hardware backlight per se [not redshift workaround which is
insufficient] and control the monitor on/off/standby status from the
command line.]

The disease DOES progress. MANY people have died from it. And ANYBODY
can get it at any time.
