bitchy rant about Linux accessibility from a grouchy blind nerd, mh-

I had a power cut yesterday and it knocked my servers offline. Now one of them is complaining that fsck can't find a UUID and can't boot properly. Guess what? No SSH, no console speech. Thanks, Linux. Now I have no choice but to use AI to fix it or wait between several hours and several days to get a sighted person in. After all, we all have perfect vision and can read the video output which is still functioning. Linux is for everyone, amirite? Grandma's totally gonna be able to figure out wtf udev is when Mint shits the bed after the power goes out during a storm and she'll totally remember to swap the cells out on her UPS every 2 to 3 years
