Not actually understanding what is being said or what is going on and completely lacking perspective is not a good look.

Please read the article I referenced. Most of their gripes are also issues found in Windows. Also OP’s article is clearly written from a constructive criticism point of view that I appreciate. Keeping software accessible is hard work and proprietary software is not some magic bullet.

I think you are taking this all out of context hence why I told you to get off your high horse. Apparently you decided to climb onto an even higher horse instead. You are not echoing anything but your rather alarmist perspective. See below for excerpts about Windows accessability.

"A concrete example of a product that simply cannot be used by the blind, but which is an integral security component used in employment situations, is Microsoft’s BitLocker software, which provides full disk encryption. BitLocker requires the user to enter a PIN (personal identification number) before the full Windows operating system is started. While competing full-disk encryption programs have offered the ability to generate an audible tone that can be used to alert the blind user that information needs to be entered, BitLocker offers no such indication. Despite years of repeated entreaties by blind people for Microsoft to fix this problem, we have yet to see a version of BitLocker that addresses this issue. A blind employee who is required to use a computer with Microsoft BitLocker installed will be unable to turn the computer on and get it running—not to mention use it.

Microsoft SharePoint, a program used by many institutions (many of which employ the blind), is not fully accessible to the blind. SharePoint has been found to be so frustrating for the nonvisual user that a third-party vendor believes that it can sell an add-on solution to large enterprises (e.g., state or federal agencies) that costs as much as $12,000 for a single user license. If Microsoft’s accessibility effort were working, a product that is as widely used as SharePoint would already be as convenient and effective for the nonvisual user as it is for everyone else.

There does not appear to be any user-experience research being conducted by Microsoft into improving efficiency for keyboard-only users, including the blind. This has already had a negative impact on keyboard-only users of the spell checker in Word 2013, which no longer provides accelerator keys to speed up the selection of options when spelling errors are detected.

Microsoft struggles to implement an API (application program interface) which makes it easier for screen-access software to get information about application states, messages, and controls. Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) and User Interface Automation (UIA), two examples of existing accessibility APIs, have existed within the Windows operating system for many years, but they have apparently not done much to solve the accessibility problem. While I applaud the fact that Microsoft has worked hard to ensure that Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 have worked with updated releases of screen-access software on the day they were released to the public, it must also be recognized that, in order for this to have happened, the screen-access software vendors (very small companies in relation to Microsoft) had to devote considerable resources to make this happen. It would be better if these relatively small companies could spend more time and effort coming up with innovations that improve the efficiency and productivity of blind users of their software.

Unlike its main competitors on desktop and mobile platforms, Microsoft has failed to provide built-in support for refreshable Braille displays to be connected to and used on its various platforms. This is particularly vexing for users who are both deaf and blind for whom refreshable Braille displays are the only way to interact with computer software. The Apple Macintosh and the Apple iPhone support a variety of refreshable Braille displays without requiring the customer to install device-specific drivers, and these products entered the market well after Microsoft began working on accessibility.

The maintenance, setup, and recovery of Microsoft Windows continue to be inaccessible to the blind. Consequently, there is an added cost in time and/or money to the blind user, who has to bring in (and often pay for) sighted assistance to install, upgrade, or repair a Windows system. This situation is unacceptable—especially given the fact that Apple OS X and iOS operating systems incorporate accessibility tools that enable the blind computer user to perform maintenance, upgrade, and recovery tasks without sighted assistance. Moreover, this problem curtails the ability of the blind to accept Windows system support jobs in information technology."

Woah their partner, major software developers have been having similar issues with accessibility for decades now. For instance the ability for the blind to deal with Windows if it crashes or errors out is pretty much non-existent.

Google isn’t much better breaking accessability in the name of protecting content.

So I will have to respectfully tell you to get off your high horse.

Love this perspective shot.

The crying game

Mind. Blown.

This one is just projection. To believe this statement denies there are plenty of people who are innocent on both sides. We are not talking about those people.

We are talking about the people who hate the other side on both sides, but once again we aren’t talking about both sides here. One side has made the statement popular to dehumanize the other side.

This is what we are talking about. You can’t agree with this statement because it is used as an excuse to kill people. Regardless if the statement has truth to it it is in essence propaganda used to manipulate people.

Wow, I decided I would give MBFC a shot. You are greeted with an ad-infested experience with a giant start bar reminiscent of a malware site. After building up enough courage to click it I discovered it not only wanted my email but also my credit card.

After having to fight to see the article I wanted rated I just don’t have the fortitude to the fight this horrible experience to probably be told that the following article is left center or left leaning bias.

While I will admit this was a not Fox News praising the Trump Admin, it has an extremely neutral tone and does nothing to pushback against the obviously clownish message that the Trump team provides.

For this reason it, is to me at least, right leaning. I guess I will never know what MBFC would rate it.

A large portion of a lot of our lives is in the digital world. Having the right to control your software is a no brainer. I am reminded this every time I use my Windows 11 laptop and get interrupted by an ad for Microsoft or some other company whose software I have installed.

It really reminds of those early days on the web where your browser could be hijacked by pop-ups.

Still wondering why he can’t address his actual campaign promises and bring the price of groceries down. Where is that executive order? Oh that is right he and his cabal of tards can’t do even the one thing that actually got them elected.

Uhh that is only if they are fertilized. It is really just a packaged chicken period.

You mean he can ban transgender, eliminate DEI, fire thousands of people, withdraw from multiple treaties, and start trade wars; but he can’t bring down the price of eggs day one.

Sounds like you just making excuses because you fantasize about gargling his orange eggs in your mouth.

Thanks for all that. I would not bother responding to these guys after an initial comment because I sense they are just being disingenuous.

Nu-uh Fox and friends said it was DEI and wokeness causing eggs prices to soar.

I know it is fun to think about getting back at these people but it doesn’t really work. They were never rational to begin with.

If you used Gnome back in the day you know there was a lot of that configurability built in. Then one day the developer decided to start taking it away. Slowly but surely all the ability to configure Gnome was removed. If you experienced this arc like I did you were left scratching your head.

Yes KDE was always more configurable, but removing what configurability Gnome did have made it less useful. For power users this is a big deal. It is like a company taking away all your features and thinking you are going to like it.
