The requirements are generally things that were designed away on purpose from Wayland. Even if KDE plasma had a workaround solution, they would need to communicate with all other distros to make sure all distros have similar solutions so accessibility feature devs don't have to make a version of their application for every distro, and KDE Devs themselves have said that they "don't want to allow users to shoot themselves in the foot by letting the application bypass security features" as if application A knowing the coordinates of a window in application B has any security implication whatsoever.

Wayland is fundamentally designed without accessibility in mind at all, and will virtually never work with it. The current status is still after 17 years "tough shit" and that infuriates me.

    I read the privacy policy and while it does track your device ID and other minor details, it does not seem to upload your image data to any server and actually does the blurring offline, which is good.

    I would much prefer open source, but it's iOS, so I doubt they have any open source alternative.

    Face Detection and Image Processing
    
    
    Some Neuralful AI apps use on-device face detection to enable features such as face blurring, enhancement, or anonymization. These processes are performed entirely on your device and do not involve any storage or transmission of face data to our servers or any third parties.
    
    What data is used: Only image data selected by you within the app is temporarily processed to detect faces for the purpose of applying visual effects.
    
    How it is used: The detected face regions are used in-memory during the session for image enhancement or anonymization. No biometric data or facial recognition data is collected or retained.
    
    Data sharing: We do not share any face data. No facial information is transmitted to external services.
    
    Retention: Face data is discarded immediately after processing. Nothing is saved on-device or remotely.

    Well, with ads it will likely become cheaper than dumb fridges, which will lock in more and more customers until the sudden subscription service hits and everyone have to agree and pay up or buy a new fridge altogether. This isn't the first, second nor third time this has happened.

    This is what happens when a country doesn't have the freedom to roam rights that most European countries do. You can't just enter wilderness or climb mountains here. You can't swim in lakes all willy nilly either. It is probably what I like the least about Japan, but that's just the way it is. It is their culture, not mine.
