Just replying from Sync for Lemmy to see how this works, cannot create posts yet for reasons I guess.
So I cannot even read the article because the site has aggressive popups, unlabeled elements, and something repeatedly resetting my focus to the top.
What's new with TalkBack 14.0
Your experience with TalkBack 14.0 is improved with: Descriptions of images Additional languages for braille display New on-screen gestures and keyboard commands to edit your text Additional
Wouldn't the loss of retina function also have a reduction in color vision which would result in a loss of clarity of certain color wavelengths so eg you'd go from seeing a 32 color crayola spectrM to a 24, then 16, etc resulting in an increase in percieved contrast? Just spitballing here.
Join The RBlind Discord
Just as a reminder for those who are not aware, and for those who are, we operate a discord server, currently with over 600 members.
Interesting, my attempt to tag main did something strange, also this is my other account.
How are people doing?
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?
So first there are some mods who do not want to leave, and are going to do their best to keep it operating, but the bigger thing is reddit will not let us do that, they are forcibly taking control of subs that are doing things like going nsfw, private, or restricted by removing the mod team and placing their own.
Let’s get some blindness related talk going here.
So just for the hell of it, in order,
· Cane, Dog, None, or Other?
· Preferred Mobile and Computer OS and Screen Readers?
· Braille or Not and for what if yes?
I’ll start, cane, android and windows, talkback and NVDA, yes I use braille screen input, or a braille display for almost everything text entry wise and for checking spelling, along with some reading though not as much as I could.
Umm that should not be the case, I never have to set mine, you need to set it in your account settings.
Yeah I do not use my computer near enough and mainly just use my phone with either braille screen input or my display. I switch between a few voices but not often.
So if you're talking about the warning message thing that appears that's just there by default for no apparent reason and means nothing. I believe we a request in to have that hidden or it will be dealt with some other way.
So how is everyone doing?
As the title says. I’m not doing bad, this seems like it may finally be stable-ish. I’m typing this with my braille display because I can actually use it on this platform unlike on reddit which is nice.
Unlike reddit you can actually use this with a display.
As the title says this is actually usable with a display without bullshit fighting with the screen reader navigation for twice as long as writing the post takes.
I have had that chance, but that's more my state does blind services right.
I mean it works on android, just has some odd issues with certain browsers and the strange things regarding nested comments and post vote tally not appearing unless you're on desktop view.
I’m just baffled as to why it's an issue on Opera and the like which are chromium based like Chrome and Edge, I get it on Firefox as that's a different architecture so makes sense it might have some different issues from those others.
Will also add on android devices you cannot log in with talkback running on Firefox, Opera, or Duck Duck Go browsers as the login button will not activate. I have to test this again on Brave, but I know this is not an issue on Chrome or Edge.
Yeah, that's what I have been told, longer cane if you are faster, mine is about nose height.
This will take some time to get used to.
So apparently I need to select main from under the sidebar before going to menu and create post to get it to select a community to post to….
