this week's opinion.
-
@NicksWorld @MariahL @mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking Also, I want to dismantle the argument that it took me 3 hours to make the Rimworld Access mod work on my Mac. It did, but not because the Mac was hard to use, but because I was being a dumbass and I forgot to install the harmony mod first before Rimworld Access, and that's why it wasn't working, not because my Mac was all of a sudden too hard for me to use.
-
@techsinger @NicksWorld Also, Apple stores are willing to help you out with teaching sessions and such.
@SapphireRose91 @NicksWorld That's true too, but I always hate those because they don't really get it and want to show you what you can do without VO. I have yet to see a guy really know how to use VO in a session, and indeed can't really expect it. I don't, of course, mean someone knowing how to turn it on, I mean really work with it.

@LeonianUniverse @MariahL @mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking I watched you fumbling around the folders and stuff, it sounded incredibly complicated.

@SapphireRose91 @LeonianUniverse @NicksWorld @MariahL @pawpower @ratking Oh good. Glad you said it. Lolol!
-
@SapphireRose91 @NicksWorld @MariahL @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking Lol, I guess I can be a little bit of a dork sometimes!

@techsinger @NicksWorld My fiance has done it a few times. He's been working for Apple for over a decade.

@mcourcel @LeonianUniverse @MariahL @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking @lynessence The only app I know that works very well with Mac is Mona. i haven't tried it myself though but I've seen Leo use it.
@NicksWorld @mcourcel @LeonianUniverse @MariahL @SapphireRose91 @ratking @lynessence Applevis is a fabulous resource with manuals and tutorials, and they have an app directory where apps are rated by their accessibility and use ability in categories. I highly recommend that you start there.

@SapphireRose91 @LeonianUniverse @NicksWorld @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking Windows can be just as much trouble if not more. I had a time a bit ago where my Rog Ally's bluetooth audio driver had a whole moment and I tried everything I knew. Turns out all I had to do was delete the devices themselves from device manager, but I struggled with that for three weeks. Not because I didn't know what I was doing, but because the process didn't have any end that I could easily figure out because windows was being needlessly stupid.

@SapphireRose91 @techsinger Is your fiance blind? because if he's been using a Mac as his daily driver, he fits what you've been talking about.
-
@mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking I just gave my opinion. Is that such a bad thing? Other people wanted to fight me. That's their choice.
@NicksWorld @mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking Nick. I have read through some of this thread. You get yourself into trouble with this all the time. You make the generalizations and then when people confront you about it you get defensive. Really think about what you’re saying before you say it giving an opinion and framing it in the context of what your experience is is great just making blankets statements is not. That’s how you offend people and turn people off.

@NicksWorld @MariahL @mcourcel @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking It wasn't even that hard tbh, once I learned how the file system worked, it was actually pretty easy, it just sounded hard to you because you weren't fully listening to me doing it and doing it successfully after I figured out the real problem.

@NicksWorld @techsinger Yes, he is.

@MariahL @SapphireRose91 @LeonianUniverse @NicksWorld @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking That, sadly, is just bluetooth being bluetooth. It's just depressing.

@techsinger @SapphireRose91 @LeonianUniverse @NicksWorld @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking the point I'm making is, windows can be as much of a pain, so that whole windows is better argument... oh god no it isn't. honestly I'd sit with a mac someday if I had the attention span for it

@MariahL @SapphireRose91 @LeonianUniverse @mcourcel @pawpower @ratking Windows 11 has had its problems for sure, the file explorer is one of them.

@pawpower @NicksWorld @mcourcel @MariahL @SapphireRose91 @ratking @lynessence Oh, I definitely know about Applevis, I'll start there, but was hoping y'all knew of courses or something I could take to get a better understanding, but Applevis is indeed great for sure!

@baxaphobia @NicksWorld @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking What she said. This is fun chiming in like this. We're not saying you can't have opinions. We're just saying, try to structure them so that it more portrays your experience and why you are saying that.

@mcourcel @baxaphobia @pawpower @SapphireRose91 @ratking I've tried saying in my opinion. Is that too little? I'm starting to wonder why I even express my opinions at all when all it does is cause problems with people I'd rather not have problems with?

@LeonianUniverse @NicksWorld @MariahL @mcourcel @SapphireRose91 @ratking Also, any new operating system is going to take some getting used to and you will flounder around and take three times as long to do simple things because you haven't become proficient yet. I am an incredibly proficient iPhone user, if you hand me an android phone I will probably eventually be able to use it, but if someone were to hear me trying to use it for the first hour or two, they would definitely assume that this was not an accessible operating system, and that would be incorrect.
