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?
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…...
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...
https://rblind.com/pictrs/image/ebc1a47c-6695-4814-8e09-1a57ade4a948.jpegToday, I took the self-test after finding it on my friend’s profile. When I completed the test, I received a score of 65%, which I understand is a high score that indicates I might be suffering from the disorder. Yes, I am addicted to daydreaming and I...
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.

Hi, folks:...
Hi everyone,...
So playing visual novels written in Ren’Py has become my latest momentary obsession. I figured I’d create a thread to post my thoughts on the few I’ve played, and see if anyone else has played any good ones. If you have, let me know in the comments! I really want to hear what everyone is enjoying....
I am a fully blind person and I occasionally record playing video games with my friends....
I’m having a really weird issue with VoiceOver on iOS and I’ve decided not to stress out about it. I scheduled a phone call with Apple Support....
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. The portrayal of blindness was… not great, but something that struck me about it was that for a futuristic setting, it lacked imagination for what technology could look like for the blind. The...
