I liked this response in the thread related to blind contributors and braille displays.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/5/685

To summarize, this blind user at least doesn't consider 80-characters max width to be a supportive argument. They are more worried, instead, about matching up the terminal width to multiples of their display. And of course, to avoid forced guis.

Sometimes I think it's easy to make arguments about accessibility without actually consulting someone with an accessible need.



You should also read the response to the response. This is not an issue.


I'm confused. I thought I did. Is the link above not correct?

Is that the "response to the response" you're referring to? If so, that's what I meant as well. I thought Nicolas' response was on point with the discussion about accessibility.
