linux has 2 popular (useable) screenreaders that arent tied to the desktop enviroment, which i choose not to use for the sake of conserving power. both of these screenreaders are old and overall unmaintained. they didnt work on the most recent debian (bookwork) version a few years after that version had released, and i wouldnt be supprised if the same is true for the most recent version right now.

while i could use gnome or kde, they have issues on my hardware that make it difficult to use (kde freezing, and for gnome my storage is very limited to under 256GB)

its not like i havent chosen the good TTS, its that there isnt any good TTS afaik, that works on x11 and has good language support and is up to date and works without consuming all of my limited resources.

    if youre going to engage in a no true scotsman, can you at least make it make emotional sense? i have no knowledge of the topic, but i do understand how people use language in ways that can make them agree with you even if they have no prior knowledge, and would like to point it out

    maybe theres a reason people downvote you

    i dont make any claims that i agree or disagree with the topic at hand, i dont have the political knowledge to do so and id rather not just take someones word for it. i think, rather, that youre just not putting your beliefs in sound arguments. i want to show other people that youre not making logically sound arguments, youre doing no better than any politician.
