  • I never said you did, and it’s perfectly normal to be curious.
    It’s just that blind people have to answer these same uninformed questions all the time, and it can be tiring.

    Saying you did look it up seems worse to me than saying you didn’t.
    One acknowledges a lack of effort, the other implies notable effort and failure at a relatively simple task.
    No judgement intended, I’m just trying to instill some introspection. I’ll leave you be now.


  • Being blind is a spectrum, but even ‘fully’ blind people can use phones and computers with a screen reader.

    Alt-text allows people to describe images, OCR can recognise text in images, and now AI can also describe images.

    Blind people aren’t helpless, incapable or dependent, like some stereotypes might lead you to believe. Many are able to live relatively normal, independent lives.
    Some even play videogames and stream on twitch.

    But some find constantly being asked the same questions and needing to inform others that they aren’t incapable to be quite annoying. Especially when this sort of info is readily available online.










  • Kind of, but some distros are still much more stable than others.

    It’d be like only ever trying windows ME or vista, rather than 2000 or 7.

    You’re still getting ‘the windows experience’, but you happen to be using one of the least stable options available. Much like choosing pop vs debian.







  • That’s the point.
    Then they’ll add more slop cores to their next generation of cards, and use that as their demo for how great their latest cards are.

    Their whole consumer business strategy since rtx has been to push the use of new rendering techniques that existing hardware is less capable of, while releasing new cards with dedicated cores designed specifically for their new techniques.
    If they didn’t have rtx or dlss, people would still be using their 980 ti’s.
