Hi everyone,...

Hi, folks:...

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....

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...

Dealing with the same old questions from people who don’t get us was one of the hardest things about the other site. At one point, it was easier to create a rule against them, than it was to foster communication and awareness....

Hi everyone,...

Is there a way to set the default language and community on here please?...

“ In October, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on a core recourse for protecting disabled people’s civil rights: The ability to sue private businesses for inaccessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act.” motherjones.com/…/disability-testers-keep-busines…

As the r/Blind mod team announced on July 1st 2023, Reddit has made it impossible for blind people to moderate on mobile. We’re bringing you this post to update the community on the developments since that time....

I’ll keep this short, as I’m merely testing this Lemmy thing out, especially the accessibility compared to the way ReddIt used to work before their recent changes. I’m curious to know if there’s any accessibility gotchas I should be aware of before I get bitten… Thanks, and that’s all from me for now.

I am wondering if there’s a rapid way to switch between two voiceover voices. The only method I know involves going to settings-voiceover-speech-voices-scroll down etc. etc. etc., which is really too much. I’m thinking there must be an easier way, either using a customize rotor, or just telling Siri.

These guys fucked up their website, but I hope glasses are still good....

A little off topic for most of us here on RBlind but still worth posting for our instances Admins/Mods if no one else....

Would avoid anything on that server where possible until we hear an all clear...

Seems to have been released about a week ago. See apps.apple.com/us/app/voicevista/id6450388413

Wondering if anyone actually knows (that is, not just guessing) why RP causes decreased contrast in one’s remaining central vision. I asked my retina doc and got an obviously BS answer that cones can’t distinguish contrast as well as rods. I am not a fan of doctors who don’t have the phrase “I don’t know” in their...

Before the whole new transcription effort really starts going, I wanted to get some input from actual Blind and low-vision users to see like…what y’all actually want us to work on. Are there any particular Lemmy-specific accessibility problems we should be aware of? Additionally, for those of us independently transcribing...

Just thought I’d see how you all are doing, need to get some activity here or us mods will have nothing to do besides our normal real life shit and we don’t want that now do we?

I’ve got RP, but a decent amount of central vision. I can still see cars if I’m looking right at them, people walking right at me, usually find cross I’ve got RP, but a decent amount of central vision. I can still see cars if I’m looking right at them, people walking right at me, find crosswalks, that sort of thing. But...

Resolved (see comments). Thank you very much!...

I’m so sorry what reddit did to the blind community hopefully you guys can become the new backbone of the lemmy/kbin threadaverse

Everything is labeled.
