Here's another one for the #blind#hiveMind primarily, but feel free to chime in if you have a good idea.
For an upcoming video/stream, I am looking into video editing as a #screenReader user. I'd like to cover both #mac and #windows and am curious what solutions have worked well for people in the past.
Conditions are no mouse usage at all, app needs to be screenreader-compatible, ideally somewhat full-featured both for #audio and #video.
Be it #iMovie, #Clipchamp, #quicktime, #reaper, a dreaded #AI tool, tell me thy success stories, thy struggles and thy findings! 😊 #accessibility

📣 Do-It-Blind (DIB) online Besprechung am Montag, 14. Juli, um 19:00 Uhr. Du bist eingeladen! https://bbb.metalab.at/rooms/joh-szv-ohn-jof/join Wöchentlich am Montag besprechen wir neue Formen der digitalen und inklusiven Zusammenarbeit. Mach mit! 🛠️ #make #blind #inklusion

Boosts appreciated: I am working on an #accessibility wiki, because info on accessibility for #blind people is fragmented. It is not ready for public release, but I would like to invite volunteers to help me improve the site. I need to get web devs, server maintainers, moderators, writers, and whoever else would be able to contribute. Please send me a DM if you're interested.

Ok I debated making this but it cannot hurt. I hope all my fellow #Blind, #DeafBlind, and #VisuallyImpaired people, along with their family, friends, and others have had a great time at the #ACB and/or #NFB 2025 conventions. I am taking this time, and the increased activity on certain hashtags to do some shameless promotion of #OurBlind. OurBlind comprises the Discord, Lemmy, and Reddit communities operated by the staff of the r/Blind subreddit, as well as those who have joined since the creation of the Discord in 2022, and Lemmy in 2023. We have members from all over the world, and of all ages, hearing and vision levels, and are a safe space for Our LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse friends. Our general community guidelines, and the links to reach our platforms can be found on our website.

Dear fedi, I am thinking of building-in some LLM scraper bot traps into my website.

One of the ideas is links down near the bottom of each blogpost or page that are hidden in CSS (so that no human would click them) that when clicked immediately put the client IP address on naughty list.

I want to understand better how CSS-hidden links work for #Blind visitors and others using screen readers or other assistive technologies.

The last thing I'd want is to inconvenience any human! :blob0w0:

As the tech transbian of the family, I'm trying to get my mother to regain some of the independence blindness (add an overprotective partner to the mix for maximum effect) took away from her by re-teaching her to use the computer. When she lost her sight she used JAWS or NVDA (I can't remember which one) and she even wrote a couple of books with that, but a fatal update broke compatibility with the program and neither her nor her partner knew how to deal with that situation, so she started relying on other people for computer stuff.
So, fedi people with disabilities, I'm asking for pointers on this. Accessibility software of any kind, if there are updated versions of either JAWS or NVDA that run on modern Windows (don't tell her to delve into Linux, that ain't happening in the near future. One baby step at the time.) or any alternative software to those programs, voice controls, resources for learning, anything. All info is welcome. Thanks in advance!

Tis done 🎉
My #youtube channel, formerly known as BlindlyCoding, is now named ViewpointUnseen. This allows me to broaden the content on that channel to include a lot more different types of content, from tutorials for the #blind from a #blindness perspective, tech reviews from that same perspective, #gaming streams as well as reaction content when I find sufficient things to react to.
I think there's a lot of value I can offer to the world at large with stuff that's currently locked inside my head and having a bit more time during the work week allows me to spend more time on #contentCreation. Screen reader tutorials? Hacking streams? Videogames? Reviewing pieces of tech and supplying #accessibility recommendations to users AND developers/creators? Yes, all of that and more. Stay tuned!

There's a growing movement on the #fedi that wants people to switch away from Big (US-based) Tech and towards #FOSS alternatives like #Linux, alternatives to #google, #Microsoft, #dropbox etc.
For #screenReader users, that might not be as simple as all that due to #accessibility reasons. This weekend's IC_Null stream aims to dig into this, but I need your help. What tools, services etc. should I look at from an #accessibility perspective? Anyone here who needs their tools evaluated? Anyone here who's curious about a particular tool or suite of tools? Let me know and I'll add it to the list. Anything goes. #selfHosting #blind #tech#EU
