Friends, this is the coolest thing I have ever seen and you should see it too. A guitar amp labelled entirely in braille. #accessibility #blind #blindness #braille

I have been diligently at work working on the #adventOfCyber 2025 content again this year, checking the various tasks for #accessibility hurdles and, where possible, providing ways to dodge/hack around them. This wasn't always possible, but at least more possible than the last two years.
Today at 3 PM EST we'll blitz through the last 6 days on stream, showing that while #accessibility issues are rampant, a #screenReader user can absolutely complete the majority of these and might even learn a thing or two in the process!
See you in 6 hours over at https://twitch.tv/ic_null and/or https://youtube.com/@viewpointUnseen #aoc2025 #tryHackMe #thm #selfPromo #stream #tech #blindness

I've just seen an absolutely disgusting article. I said "seen", not "read", because I'm blind and I could not read it.
for your reference, here's the first beautiful sentence of this article:
"ffGE ARrj XRejm XAj bZgui cB R EXZgl, Rmi mjji jrjg-DmygjREDmI XgRDmDmI iRXR XZ DlkgZrj."
I don't know the technology behind this BS, but screen readers see it as scrambled text, kind of encrypted or something like this. I guess it's some font juggling (ChatGPT supposed it's gliph scrambling, where random Unicode values are mapped to random letters — I'll trust her in this because I really don't care about the tech behind it), but if you have a tiny little grain of empathy, never ever ever do this, for goodness sake.
