I couldn't find any real information about how Yubikeys work with screen readers. So I decided to publish some.

 

Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients say they've been left without critical services for more than two months since CHS workers hit the picket line.

 

Deaf professor who worked on one product says developers won’t listen to feedback – about their products or their tech bro ways

 

Toymaker Mattel worked with Breakthrough T1D to create a Barbie doll who visibly lives with type 1 diabetes and carries an insulin pump.

 

I wanted to share an opportunity for folks in the UK who use screen readers or screen magnification. Fable, the company where I've been employed for the past eight years, works with organizations to make their digital experiences more accessible, and we're expanding our Community to the UK and are looking for new usability testers. It’s flexible, paid gig work you can do from home. You don’t need any previous experience – we offer paid training to get you started. You choose which projects you want to work on and set your own schedule. We also pay what we call a “technology wage” (which basically means better-than-minimum and recognizes the value of lived experience with tech). If you’ve ever wanted to have a say in how tech can work better for people with disabilities – and get paid for your time – this might be a good fit. Here's the link to apply: https://makeitfable.com/community/

 

One of my closest and longest friends is starting a new YouTube channel documenting his journey to fulfill a life-long dream of his. Even though he's low vision, through a new program available in Ontario, he has the opportunity to gain his drivers license via the use of a bioptic telescope. If you love cars as much as he does, are just curious, or are a low vision person interested in what a program like this could mean for you, check out his first video on the channel! As far as I know, this is the first time someone has documented the journey of learning to drive with a bioptic telescope from day one, from the perspective of a person with a disability, rather than a doctor or other medical professional.

It never went down here in Ottawa for me. Based on the tiny sample size of my circle of friends, everyone using the gigahub for PPPOE login went down, and everyone using PPPOE passthrough did not. So I think it's something to do with the ISP provided router. Pushed bad firmware to everyone maybe?

This study explores the experiences of blind and low vision students at K-12 institutions. The students interviewed expressed choosing classes based on the accessibility of the materials. Teachers were frequently insensitive to them. They needed to navigate accessibility barriers in and out of the classroom constantly. Institutions should be more proactive about digital accessibility and offer more teacher training. Check out the full article for more info. #accessibility

 

Call of Fate is a Chinese audiogame released on Android and IOS by Prudence Interactive, intended to be accessible to both blind and sighted players. These are my thoughts after playing for several days.

It pretty much depends on Debian. You could also run cosmos itself in a docker if you wanted.

get into access mods for games like slay the spire, balatro, hearthstone, stardew valley, and factorio.

I wish I knew. I followed the link to the Matrix community, and it was just confused people and trolling NAZI's. No Nicole, no attempt at catfishing.

Thunder, because it works best with accessibility features like VoiceOver and TalkBack: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder

Personally, I’d like an open API so I could use it with foobar2000. Not OP but I long for the same thing. I’ve done it, and managing, storing, backing up, my music library costs more than Spotify. And assuming you don’t just pirate everything, add the cost of purchasing albums on top of that. And my time is worth minimum wage at least. I would happily pay someone to just handle this stuff.

This feels AI generated. Especially when combined with the generic video description. riffusion probably.
