Mastodawn

Does anyone have ideas or implementations on how to operate a #BIOS without sighted help? I keep having the problem of changing BIOS settings or boot sequences and always need someone to help me with the settings. I've also tried the video recognition of #ChatGPT or #Gemini, but both were way too imprecise and often just made up what it read to me or recommended for control. #accessibility #linux #server

Further to my recent post, promoting KDE, I have observed that they have the following ongoing campaign:

https://endof10.org/

This capitalises on the opportunity presented by Microsoft discontinuing Windows 10, coupled with Windows 11's unreasonable new hardware requirements, forcing new PC purchases;

The "end of 10" campaign by KDE, encourages people to install *Linux* instead; it has a handy map of where you can go in your country to get help installing it.

Their mastodon is @Endof10

Beware those who are good at both sucking up and punching down. Their loyalty is an illusion, but their cruelty is not. A true warrior licks no boots, nor uses theirs to step on others to get ahead.

... and you're the first to post a link to the UK petition! I didn't even realize there WAS a UK version. (It's difficult these days, post Brexit, to think of anything from the UK happening that is POSITIVE.)

Right - there are such things in Finland and Germany (and other places in Europe, but the people I would be asking are in Finland and from Germany (: )

Since it's VERY specific, it makes sense to not seek answers from outside ... well, it may even not work to ask folks from Ireland.

THAT SAID: At least y'all HAVE A-levels. Not even gonna go into how short the US 'system' came to that when I was of that age. And I'm 100% sure it's even MORE abysmal now.
