'Everyone can use Linux. What do you need Windows/MacOS for? Some stupid game you barely play anyway? Stupid MS office apps that your company makes you use?
I even got my granny to use Linux, one day I just swapped out her stupid windows and she never even noticed.'

I see a lot of that around here. It's blatantly not true, and no not *everybody* can just 'up and use linux' so easily.
Screen-reader users for example.

I'm happy some can be so blazé about it, but when a screen-reader is your gateway to the world of computing, jumping on the Linux bandwagon is neither simple nor as easy as pie.

@Pawpower I'll virtually fuck'em and chuck'em. I have no time for it honestly, and just don't care. I'll piss around with Linux in a VM or whatever, but I'll not be using it as a primary OS any time soon. lol

@FreakyFwoof @Pawpower I jsut wish people would let pople use what hey like without being pushy about the thing they like to use themselves. Suggest, sure, but don't get all batshit about it if someone is like no I'm good.

@blindbat84 @FreakyFwoof Jesus I have really noticed this amongst blind folks. Windows, Mac, jaws vs NVDA, bla bla bla. FFS why does anyone care about what the next guy uses. PS freedom scientific aren't your family. The loyalty to a corporation just seems so freaking bizarre to me. But if folks use jaws good on them I hope it works.

@Pawpower @FreakyFwoof and OMG yeah the JAWS vs NVDA debate is crazy, I absolutely don't like JAWs and will bitch about it, and Iwill use it, but I appreciate that JaWS and NVDA each have things they do better than each other, but Istil have my preference. But note, preference, not demand, though there is plenty of razzing aboutit in the accessibility team.

@blindbat84 @Pawpower Like what you like. Just do not put pineapple on pizza, and do not hang toilet roll the wrong way. that is all. You do that, you're blocked from the world.
OK not serious I promise. lol

@FreakyFwoof @blindbat84 @Pawpower ok, lets see here. pineapple always belongs on pizza, and for you what way is the wrong way for hanging toilet paper? the correct way is iver, and not under.

@JamminJerry @blindbat84 @Pawpower Over is correct. If you hang it under... It's over.
