@danmccullough Happy belated birthday Pippin!! From a fellow cat lover.

@Linux_Is_Best I feel like what needs to happen is speech output needs to be on as a default. At least for the mainstream distros. Perhaps there could be a boot command line to disable it if the user is abled-bodied.

As far as Windows. Even the built-in screen magnification is active at the logon screen. So right when my computer starts up. I have an accessible environment. This video shows ZoomText. https://shorturl.at/wEMRW It's an industry standard as far as screen magnification on Windows.

@Linux_Is_Best I love #Linux I really do, but accessibility is frankly a mess. See this blog post https://shorturl.at/qBDN2 from a blind user. I remember how overjoyed I was to discover Vinux back in the day. There was in-fighting on the developers' side. It's truly unfortunate. Linux has so much potential to offer #disabled folks.
Linux Accessibility: an unmaintained Mess

@tinaquilts this looks beautiful.
@dantescanline I'm reading your post. I like your essay. Brings me back to my reading essay that he free software foundation wrote on intellectual property. By the way if you don't mind me asking, I looked at your Mastodon profile. What's left market anarchism? I'm curious.
@Rush Sweet I'll download it.
@Rush Yup!!
@Rush Thanks for the encouragement. I also want to get some of my friends and family/political activist people to switch over to the fediverse. I have to Google for the fediverse FB interface. I can't remember what it's named. I think it's friend something.
@Rush Yeah I know. It seems that most people just don't care that much about privacy.
@Rush I've been trying to get my friends and family onto Signal. I got my parents onto signal. My brother used to use Signal but stopped.
