'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.

Andre Louis Sep 6, 2025

@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?

Hell's Kitchen Bitches! 🦮🔥Sep 6, 2025

@lerven @FreakyFwoof @blindbat84 It's an abomination that's what. Pineapple belongs and cake, on the rim of my tropical drink, or in a fruit salad. I will die on this hill lol

@Pawpower @lerven @FreakyFwoof @blindbat84 boooooo! hisssssss! nooooooooo! depending on the pizza, pineapples belong on it, and I will die on that hill. smile.

@JamminJerry @lerven @FreakyFwoof @blindbat84 I am a really good person. I will let you have all the pineapple for your pizza! I will take all of the vegetable pizza with pesto. We will both be happy that way.

JamminJerry Sep 6, 2025

@Pawpower @lerven @FreakyFwoof @blindbat84 ok, I will let you have that one. we will still keep you around, even though you don't think pineapple belongs on pizza. you are good people. smile.

@JamminJerry @Pawpower @lerven @FreakyFwoof @blindbat84 Pineapple does not belong on pizza; take it from the person who grew up where they make the best pizza ever, NY

@startrek2025 @JamminJerry @lerven @FreakyFwoof @blindbat84 I love New York pizza it is delicious! It is my very favorite pizza ever. That is one sad part about no longer working on Long Island… My access to that kind of pizza is limited, but we have a few good places around here that do it.

Liam Erven Sep 6, 2025

@Pawpower @startrek2025 @JamminJerry @FreakyFwoof @blindbat84 New York pizza is fine. chicago pizza is fine. Pizza is fine.

@lerven @startrek2025 @JamminJerry @FreakyFwoof @blindbat84 Chicago Pizza is all right, but it is an awful lot of bread. I did enjoy a couple of slices when I was there, but I definitely would not want to do anything physically strenuous after eating it. I would need to roll myself into a corner and take a nap.

@Pawpower @lerven @startrek2025 @JamminJerry @FreakyFwoof @blindbat84 Chicago pizza base does make for great garlic breadlets for those times when you're entertaining people. I have a chicago pizza pan that I use for just this purpose.

@ppatel @Pawpower @lerven @startrek2025 @JamminJerry @FreakyFwoof Oh, dude, do you have a recipe? If so, pleases hare, please?

Pratik Patel Sep 6, 2025

@blindbat84 @Pawpower @lerven @startrek2025 @JamminJerry @FreakyFwoof No problem. I'll have to stystematize it before writing it up since making Chicago style stuff could be tricky.
