Yes, your Windows user experience is super relevant to the point about Linux desktop environments being accessible or not.

And this whole thread started when I was expressing fear that AI-mania was overwhelming all of Microsoft’s prior first order concerns.

This discussion was started by me after someone called the Linux desktop accessibility a "fucking embrassment" and I responded very clearly to that specific point. I'm not interested in scoring imaginary points in some misguided attempt to treat comment sections like a team fight for/against the linked article or whatever.

holy fuck shut the fuck up

as always, the most fucking embarrassing part of linux is the reply guys

in a weird way, they demonstrated my point for me — I’d fucking hate linux if all I could use was a shitty version of my least favorite desktop environment, with no real ability to customize anything or even drop into a vt to fix it when it breaks

and why in fuck is gnome of all things the layer where any of this shit gets implemented? why (other than the functionality being a bad clone of what windows and macOS have) is a desktop and mouse considered ideal for accessibility? there are a wide array of accessibility needs but the Land of a Thousand Tiling Window Managers has decided that windows but shitty is the only achievable goal

and fuck me I guess for implying that maybe the distro system could be a great way to have these needs met out of the box? nah distros can only ship yet another shitty identical package manager and your choice of gnome or KDE, cause linux reply guys are actually fucking terrible at linux and can’t function in it unless it’s actually just windows

I browse comments by new so somehow missed they’d necro’d a week old thread ffs. Gonna be more discriminating in the future.

that is absolutely one of the tactics shit reply guys use to avoid moderation, so don’t be hard on yourself (also check their post history, reply guying is basically all they do on their suspiciously fresh account)

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
