People before ChatGPT thought critically of things on Google as much as they do ChatGPT today.

Every GitLab instance requires you to have an account there to comment and submit PRs. Projects are often hosted on different instances.

okay that’s enough. here’s the actual answer:

People have told me I don’t know how good I have it.

That my complaints about Linux['s accessibility for the blind] are too much. That I’m spoiled. That back in the day, things were harder. That Windows XP was worse in every way. That modern systems are faster, more usable, more accessible — and I’m just being dramatic.

So I decided to call that bluff.

—part 1

One of the points Fireborn made in their famous “I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back” series is that Linux accessibility has deteriorated a lot over time.

mmm, steamed fabs!

And also just Office for now, not the entire OS, though they plan to move away from all MS products long-term.

Now, last week, you might have seen that Denmark was ditching Microsoft Office and Linux, but this was falsely reported by the original outlet who did the interview.

Pushing buttons against a vertical surface or one leaned backwards when it’s a keyboard’s distance out of your way is very awkward.

And at this point the technology is so cheap there’s no reason not to include it.

It’s about $100 dollars plus support e.g. for dust accumulation especially for the cheap devices.

Well unless your company’s entire profit structure is based on charging exorbitant amounts for minor upgrades and making the lowest cost option almost always have some sort of glaring deficiency to try to push users to pay hundreds more than they need to for the “optional” upgrades that should have just been included and cost pennies on the dollar for the company.

That sounds like all the more incentive to provide a touch screen. What’s your conspiracy theory for them not providing it, if not just that it sucks?

thank you
