When I started the IC_Null channel the idea was to cover topics primarily about #cybersecurity, #hacking, #pentesting etc. from a #blind perspective. Blind as in #screenReader user, that is. But an overarching topic is showing off what jobs are (up to a point) doable for this demographic and where the obstacles are. Today's stream leans that way: we'll be looking at the premier #translation and #localization tool, Trados Studio. Supposedly they have upped their #accessibility as of late. I'll be the judge of that
I'll see you all on #youtube and #twitch just under 1.5 hours from now. https://twitch.tvic_null https://youtube.com/@blindlyCoding #selfPromo #stream #trados
Hello #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired community!
I'm having trouble signing PDF documents with a digital certificate using my #screenreader (NVDA on Windows). I can do it in Adobe Reader but it's quite cumbersome and requires sighted assistance.
Does anyone have a more accessible workflow or software recommendation for signing PDFs with a digital certificate using the keyboard and a screen reader? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Could you please #Boost this so it reaches more people? Thank you in advance! #Accessibility #NVDA #PDF #DigitalSignature #AssistiveTechnology @NVAccess

Using your wireless headphones and keyboard at the absolute limit of their range, on a different floor from the computer itself, because you didn't want to move your laptop. #BlindPeopleThings #blind
Just got my new IPad m3 13 inch.
I really love that they make IPads this big nowadays, because my hands can cramp up very easyly on smaller screens.
Anyway, now I'm gonna have some fun with it, since I installed #ableton note and #logic pro on it.

A great panel discussion about #CSUN25 with some great voices and minds from the #Blind and low-vision community from #NFB, including @ChanceyFleet! https://nfb.org/index.php/resources/publications-and-media/access-on-podcast/recap-csun-facebook-ios-regression-and-how-some
This aligns with the #DEI discussion. If you live long enough, you will become disabled.
Most #disabled people can work. As a #country, the #US (being a hotbed of #capitalism), believes that it's better for disabled folks to be #taxpayers than #tax burdens. This goes along with the idea that you "earn" a living by being employed. There are many programs available to upskill disabled folks, and not all are #government-funded.
That said, many employers are under the misguided impression that disabled people want jobs they are not qualified for. And that hiring a disabled person is an act of charity.
I'm a #blind man. I graduated with honors from a community college. My degree is in #computer #programming. I am also a licensed #insurance agent in my state. And, I spent over six years working as an administrative professional. In previous live, I was a #tax professional, working at a kiosk in a Walmart. I've also done web development, and supervised a technical support team for a dial-up ISP.
I'm currently unemployed. I ran out my state's benefits a few months ago. I've been applying for jobs, and going to job fairs. I've even had a few interviews.
