Re: [orca-list] zoom and orca mind your versions

[Jordan Verner <jordan caturria ca>]

Hi,

Before I switched to Arch I was running POP!_OS (an Ubuntu variant 
developed by System76).

There, the Flatpack version of Skype was reasonably accessible, but the 
Apt version was zero percent.

I don't remember which version they had, but the apt version completely 
predated the work on Chromium accessibility.

So I would expect Flatpack to be a little ahead of the curve, and I'm 
surprised in your case that it's actually behind.
