I've tried everything I know how to do, I tried pasting the bios files into the PCSX2 folder in my C-drive, and even just tried pasting the folder full of the files, either way, I can't seem to load the games that I have, because I found the directory, no luck. #Emulation, #Gaming, #Blind

For years, I've wanted to use Android and Linux as daily drivers. I've always said that if I were sighted, I'd be using Linux and Android.
And this year, it's complete. I'm using a OnePlus 13 Android phone, and Fedora Mate Linux. Well okay, I'm using Linux at work, because Windows is still good for games, but if a VM works well enough, I might just switch to Linux at home too!
Just saying, it's possible. And I'm not even a programmer so can't bend technology, especially FOSS and such, to my will like some other blind people could. I'm just so amazed right now that I did it.

Currently I can't see any alt text on this image.
There are people here who participate in Mastodon with a screen reader. In order to be able to imagine what has been posted, they need an image description as detailed as possible. You enter that when you upload the image. #AltTextMovement

#Accessibility is a virtue on Mastodon. There are quite a few #blind or visually impaired people who use this medium with their screen readers for precisely this reason. There are also quite a few users who neither favor nor boost posts with media without #alttext text.
Samuel Proulx Today in #ChatGPT attempting to be helpful with a thing I'm building: "Consider bumping the font size in your CSS so NVDA/VoiceOver don’t make you squint your ears." I, uh, I'm not sure #AI is ready to do #accessibility yet. I mean, I should bump the font size for #a11y reasons...those just aren't the right reasons. I can't wait until we have completely #blind designers building CSS with nothing but AI. Anyway, back to squinting my ears!

We haven't done a proper #cybersecurity stream in a minute, let's fix that. Today on the docket: @wireshark . I hear left and right that #wireshark is not #accessible, seen an academic paper to that effect, I'd like to judge this for myself. 2 PM EST, 8 PM CEST, let's see how a fully #blind #screenReader user deals with Wireshark. See you then, over at https://twitch.tv/IC_Null / https://youtube.com/@blindlyCoding #infosec #foss #selfPromo

Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

So #Amazon have outdone themselves again, my 2021 #Kindle Paperwhite SE is unusable with #Voiceview because the TTS is garbled compressed electronic sounding crap apparently due to the 5.18.1 update that I did not even know it was receiving. I have reported it but doubt they'll do shit about it. #Accessibility #Blind #ScreenReader
Fuck you too, SELinux.
SELinux is preventing brltty from getattr access on the chr_file /dev/bus/usb/003/073.

Oh and don't get me started on just how difficult it is to use the mac #Terminal, now you wouldn't use this to actually #code with, but sometimes its useful to know how to use... if you could easily navigate the damned thing, but no, Apple just has to make it the most terrible experience ever. I don't know how sighted people do it, because as a #blind person, I hate every second of it, and I really only use it to play muds via #tintin++ if I have no other options.

@nixCraft - there is/may be a tiny use case for the "sidewalk ends" sign: a while ago I saw a video of VR glasses, or was it just glasses with a camera and a computer, that were designed as an aid for blind people: they would tell the user what was in front of them, for example if they needed a taxi, it would tell them if it was approaching, so they could rise a hand to stop it.
This "sidewalk ends" sign would be read by such glasses, and the user would be warned early.
Using #linux with a #braille display is amazing.
And it is especially amazing when you have a computer which doesn't have any sound at all, unless you plug an audio-dongle or an audio-interface into it!.

Today, I have to decide if I want to send some #Poetry
to a specific outlet.
When I tried a few days ago, It required a blind author blocker - captcha.
Which means, as a blind author, I have to find a random person walking down the street to come in and lay the captcha game so I can submit the poetry.
Not sure how #Publishers think blind authors can successfully, independently, submit writing through #Blind Blocking #Captchas.
#Google Forms is the worst!
