The technology itself isn’t, but companies will probably abuse the word ‘quantum’ until it loses all meaning, like they have with AI.

How do you know it was completely useless to anyone else though?

You better start pushing then

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.

I think of it like asking a question on reddit and only reading the first reply.
You never know if the person replying is an expert or someone at the first peak of a dunning-kruger graph.

I’ll just abstain until the system is magically fixed or until a third party somehow gets a majority vote. Until then, I’m perfectly fine with the obviously worse party winning.
I didn’t directly vote for them, I only chose to let them win, so it’s not my fault if they win.

… but I don’t see how setting your twitter bio to “trans rights” is supporting anyone.

Go donate to or share info about a charity like the trevor project or equality federation, rather than lazily virtue signalling.

I don’t usually talk, sing, or hum alone, but I’m always either tapping my foot, tapping my desk, or clicking a pen.
It’s not really deliberate, it just sort of happens.

Though to be fair I do deliberately buy retractable pens so I can click them…

You should set up a kool-aid stand

Just a bro try’na help another bro out.

That sounds like a utopia!
Everything will be perfect and clean.
No need for jobs.
Zuck Bucks can be earned by watching ads.
And if you swear, we’ll remove your mouth.

Yeah the hardware is pretty solid. It’s the software that’s the problem.

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.

Slop is slop, so I appreciate the consistent naming.
If you tell me you used ‘copilot’ to do something, I’ll have the same reaction regardless of what flavour it was.

CD - About 8 years ago for plop boot manager, which I last used a few months ago.
DVD - 3 Years ago for a PS2 game, but now I use mx4sio.
Blu-ray - A few months ago to jailbreak a ps5.

Well he’d have to be at least 50

Your <5 year old phone is very capable and could definitely handle it.
They just want you to think it’s more advanced and more difficult to render, rather than a deliberate performance degradation to make you want to upgrade.

The iphone 3gs could render infinity blade. Don’t let apple fool you into believing a fragment shader is too heavy for a device that came out a decade later.

You’re absolutely right!
Emoji bullet lists aren’t just cool — They’re changing the communication paradigm.
