    @NicksWorld @ratking @SapphireRose91 Personally, and this is for me only, I use a Mac because it is the operating system on a computer that works most consistently with braille every single time. It doesn't matter which display it is it doesn't matter what kind of connection, Bluetooth or USB I can get braille every single time and for me that is the most important thing. I can work around everything else, but if I don't have braille, I don't have access and I know windows has NVDA and jaws and every time I try and use a display with one of these at some point I have to have a hearing person or someone who can see help me fix the configuration settings to fix it and it's annoying. So I will always use a Mac until Windows is as good with braille support as the Mac is.

    @pawpower @NicksWorld @ratking Yes, and Mac comes accessible out of the box. Narrator isn't as good as Voice over. Never mind the fact that there have been many improvements to both. Windows just can't catch up.

      @SapphireRose91 I'm just stating facts.

      @NicksWorld @SapphireRose91 I personally find using the mac to be a little confusing. I don't know how it all works yet, but if there are resources out there to learn how to use the Mac, then I'm more than willing to learn. I do like my Mac, it’s just a little clunky in my opinion to use compared to my windows machine. But I've been using windows for a little over 15 years.

        @NicksWorld Umm. OK. My respectful suggestion is that you buy a recent mac on a return policy, try it yourself, and watch a sighted person use it, even if the sighted person knows nothing about the Mac. The interface for the sighted user will have very few issues, in fact, having had experience with quite a few sighted people, I wouldn't be surprised if the sighted person liked it instantly. The interface, in my experience, is fine. It's VO's issues that make the Mac a serious pain for blind users. Interaction, just for example, is almost exclusive to VO on OSX.

        @techsinger @NicksWorld Nick and his blanket statements. Voiceover on Mac sucks dude! Mac OS itself is a solid OS. Voiceover on Mac is an abismal failure, because they haven't fixed anything in years.

            @pawpower @ratking @SapphireRose91 but why use Mac? It offers nothing I already don't have with windows. I can pick up a new windows computer today and still use it just as I am right now. I don't have to spend hours and hours on a course to learn to use the thing because it doesn't require a whole manual to learn it, also, I've used my brother's computer and it just makes no sense to me.

                @NicksWorld @SapphireRose91 If anything, IPad OS is harder, but that might just be because my magic keyboard keeps acting up pretty significantly .

                      @SapphireRose91 @NicksWorld Lol, yes, I guess, it did actually take me like 3 hours to set up Rimworld on the Mac, but not because I couldn't navigate, but because I was a dumbass and didn't install all of the dependancies.

                        @SapphireRose91 @NicksWorld @ratking Also, everyone is different and everyone's priorities are different and why does anyone even care what someone else uses. If you don't like the Mac, don't use the Mac! I don't actually care if people use windows that's awesome. I'm glad it works for them. I personally want to throw a windows computer out the window 15 minutes after starting to work with it, but I understand that I'm in the minority, but I don't let this shit live rent free in my head because it doesn't matter. Everyone has to do what works for themselves. Turning this into some kind of ridiculous argument is just that… Ridiculous. Use what works. Let your neighbor do what works for them. It might be different from you.

                                @pawpower @ratking @SapphireRose91 Okay, you have a point there. IOS and Mac have far superior braille support to windows. I use a braille display with my phone sometimes and its easy to set up, no other software required.
