I pulled the NC10’s motherboard out, stuck it in the oven — 200 degrees Celsius, five minutes, no fan — and baked it. Not metaphorically.

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.
