My apologies for neglecting to post this here earlier....

I started taking a Linux course which recommends creating a virtual machine using Oracle Virtual Box. However this app doesn’t seem accessible, either with Jaws or NVDA. Has anyone found a solution? Is VMWare any better?

This post should take about two minutes for most screenreaders to get through. If you feel like that’s too long, you can just skip the post’s body and only answer the question in the title. I’m not your mom....

As a blind man, I know I am usually attracted to the sound of a woman’s voice. It’s usually just the way they say a specific word or syllable, like “uh huh”. However I find this almost never happens with people in the “real world”. It only happens with voice actors, other performers, and people who are completely...

Hi everyone,...

This is actually surprisingly good. The ophthalmologist goes into some very common and relevant topics, like the difference between an ophthalmologist, optometrist and optician, what “legally blind” means, different causes of blindness…...

I figured I should share some of my thoughts on this. Think what you will about my perspective or decisions and formulate your own - we should all get to act on our values.

FYI: I’ve got RP, with some very narrow, but still decent, central vision. But I need a white cane to get around safely. I’ve got two questions about people trying to help me get around. I live in the US:...

Hi everyone,...

A few weeks ago I read The Dream Master, a scifi novel that deals with dreams and virtual reality that has a blind character in it.
