'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.

@FreakyFwoof OK wanna place a bet on how many reply guy blind techbros are going to hop in here and explain to you in great and exhausting detail how it is actually possible? lol.

@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 wait what is wrong with pineapple on pizza?

Sarah Russell Sep 6, 2025

@lerven @FreakyFwoof @Pawpower Same here, I was lake oh good, because I like pineapple on pizza, but get it is not for everyone. Heck I've had some interseting pizza varieties before too... fig base, proschutto with goat cheese... nom.

@blindbat84 @lerven @Pawpower It feels weird. Don't listen to me though, I like chili and barbecue sauce on mine, so I have no room to talk.

Sarah Russell Sep 6, 2025

@FreakyFwoof @lerven @Pawpower Mmm BBQ chicken pizza is so good.

@blindbat84 @FreakyFwoof I love sweet corn on mine.

Tom Grant Sep 6, 2025

@TomGrant91 @lerven @blindbat84 @FreakyFwoof I have never had pizza with sweet corn on it, but I would at least try it.

Tom Grant Sep 6, 2025

@JamminJerry @lerven @blindbat84 @FreakyFwoof you'll love it

@TomGrant91 @lerven @blindbat84 @FreakyFwoof there was a pizza I had years ago that I really liked, but haven't seen it sense. it was a pizza that had macaroni and cheese, and the sauce was a cheese sause, and it also had small tator tots on it. it was actually really good.

Tom Grant Sep 6, 2025

@JamminJerry @lerven @blindbat84 @FreakyFwoof Now that, sounds, yum!

Sarah Russell Sep 6, 2025

@JamminJerry @TomGrant91 @lerven @FreakyFwoof Macaroni and Cheese pizza is very good, it is alot tohugh. Casey's here usally gets it now and then seasonally. It only had the mac and cheese with cheese sauce and cheeso no top not tots though.
