   Kinda wonder how accessible the online editor is? I should try it, see if VS Code is a linter or something for it, although there is the compiler.

   Well, I'm glad that's pretty accessible. My screen reader says "focused" when I hit Control + F and I can ask it about top output for example.

   Wow, you can mount the phone's filesystem wirelessly with it? That's just plain amazing!

   Well, if you use VoiceOver, things are the same as they always were. So, time for Mac users to use the screen reader. https://support.apple.com/guide/voiceover/welcome/mac

   I guess that's one good thing about being blind, nothing's really changed much for us.

   After each headline on the page with all the tabs, there is an unlabeled button after each headline. Please, Kagi I beg of you, don't overextend yourselves.

   I hope that one day Anthropic work on making Claude more accessible to screen reader users. ChatGPT is currently the only AI that I know of that, when it's thinking, sends that status to the screen reader, and then sends the response t

   Thankfully I deDRM'd most of my Kindle books last year or so, so I can read them in Braille on my Braille display without needing to connect to my phone and use the Kindle app. Also luckily for me it's legal for me to do that sinc

    Careful or the big companies will copyright and trademark "Ruby Community", and it'll belong to them.

    Which makes it even more important for Google to take accessibility seriously so that disabled people aren't stuck being the only ones that have a hard time switching from the play pin.

    Don't forget to like, subscribe, hype, hit the bell, and turn off your adblocker! Thankfully I think Sponsorblock has a section for those points in the videos.

    All they know is that's how spotlight on their Mac works and that Copilot and ChatGPT opens.

    At least they still drive towards accessibility, while Google wanders aimlessly in circles.

    Maybe one day Claude can rewrite its interface to be more accessible to blind people like me.

    Lol try Bing. I use Kagi on MS Edge. Today Windows updated, and I could only choose to set Microsoft Edge recommended defaults. It disabled my Kagi extension so I had to go re-enable it to get my actually useful search engine back.

    I use AI, as a blind person. I posted a week or so ago a video in which I use TalkBack's image description feature to play a video game that has no accessibility at all. Of course, that was on Android which isn't the most blind-fr

    If it's command-line based, maybe stream based on lines, or even better, sentences rather than received tokens.

    Oh no, cause screen readers are dumb things. If you don't send them an announcement, through live regions or accessibility announcements on Android or iOS, they will not know that a response has been received. So, the user will just si

    Yay Apple's gonna buy Anthropic and Anthropic's inaccessibility ethos will slowly infect the rest of the company. Great.

    Cool, if the game is promptable, one may even be able to make the game accessible.

    I play video games through emulation and using vision LLM's and OCR to tell me what's going on in a particular moment. Only Google employees get to use Astra right now. But I can't play anything passed PS1 and PSP with the mo

    I moved over to Linux last July. I had to move back because Google broke something in Google Docs to where Braille support would read everything each time I moved around the document, and I have to do my job. Now I'm on Windows and lov

    I'll let other blind people go first, but I'm definitely some one that would love, love, love to be able to see. Driving, knowing body language, playing any and every video game out there, shoot yeah!
