So um, if today is the last day of #CSUN and HIMS hasn't talked about new firmware/devices or brand new over nine thousand dollar blindness ... gadgets... They just sent out that email so we'd think about them more? Lol mindshare baiting? Lol. Not too surprised though.

Any of my #blind followers in Massachusetts? Can you please dm me? i was speaking to an elderly lady a few days ago and I would really like to help her out, but I'm not sure what kinds of services state rehab offers or whom to put her in touch with.

Made this issue for Lemuroid, which is an Android app that contains lots and lots of emulators, like Retroarch but uses a simple, Android-native GUI. Just, the game view can't be focused with TalkBack, so no image descriptions.

Sigh. Okay. I think I'm going to avoid using the uber eats app until this gets fixed, and never use it again in case it doesn't get fixed.

In the latest update now, you can't even see the total amount of money you're going to be charged for. All you hear is "total," and that's it. You get the service fees, you don't get the *fees*, you get the delivery fee, but you don't get the promotion applied nor the subtotal.

I had to check the email received to confirm the order to know how much I've just payed. How's this a thing in 2025?

Surge XT is such a great synth, I don't think I'll ever need to get anymore synths.

Jeg er ved at være temmelig træt af CD-ripper funktionen i MacOS's indbyggede musikafspiller.
Jo lydkvaliteten fejler ikke noget, men det er bare så irriterende at jeg manuelt skal sidde og fiske mp3-filerne ud af musikbiblioteket hver gang jeg har rippet nogle CD'er.
Og så er der også lige det, at jeg heller ikke kan finde noget tilgængeligt alternativ, da jeg er blind og derfor kan være ret begrænset i udvalget af software da det desværre ikke er alting der kan bruges med skærmlæsere.

Anyone know of an #accessible CD-ripper for mac?
I don't mind using the music-player's built-in ripper-function, but I'm kinda tired of having to manually go in and fish my ripped CD's out of the thing's media-library.

If you like videos with the most excellent narration style I've heard in a while, there's this great dude named Fredrick Knudson who does videos on internet culture stuff and its great because while he only uploades videos a few times a year, they're done with the greatest care. Here's a 5 hour documentary on the game, Eve online. Oh, and for blind people, you'll love him because he's extremely descriptive naturally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCSeISYcoyI

"Surgeons Are Conducting Rare ‘Tooth-in-Eye’ Surgeries to Restore Vision to #Blind Patients in #Canada

Wow, it's been about 3 weeks since I got my OnePlus 13. The only times I've turned on my iPhone is to update it, and like once to try out Braille support in the betas, and to show off the kinda updated Siri voices VoiceOver can use. But about 97% of the time, it's all Android! I can't believe I'm finally doing it!

Well now that is really nice. TwBlue's latest version is getting to be a nice alternative to tweesecake. You can now get to filter posts, you can now specify the language in which a post is written... Definitely looking like a suitable alternative, more and more.
Now, if only one could make it so the enter key does not post but rather make a new line, and to send with something like shift+enter or ctrl+enter, that'd be perfect. I will have one hell of a hard time to adjust.

I don't really know how to use PiccyBot and yet I like it. I don't know the limit of the videos I can have described and yes, I paid for it. I think I'm doing too much, I guess because it describes one segment of the video and then gives her server errors when I play the next segment, and I don't even know if I should just play the next segment to get more descriptions or if I should just continue asking and then play the segment. #Blind

I don't understand the #blind anger toward# QRCodes.
I have to use them a lot at work and the only time I have difficulty is when there's more than one at a time and I am wanting to scan a specific one within the same screen.

Whenever I've had to scan one in public (such as at a restaurant or other venue) there's only been one and it's worked reliably and accurately every time, be that for tracking attendance during the pandemic, accessing a menu, paying a bill, reading a concert programme or so forth.

I've had to use them in place of OTP codes, to link apps (like WhatsApp etc), and never had an issue.

What am I missing, please?
