Totally blind person. I once had this bright idea that the blind community could fix Linux into our perfect platform. I don't care all that much anymore about anything being fixed,…

OMG the live region announcements are really annoying on the web page: "RUNE rune.buildmain+0-0248 lines2026-07-30 21:54:38 unstablebuild "

Holy crap does the visitors in realtime thing have to be a live region? Every sentence or two: "visitors in realtime party popper 8 weary cat face."

I'm in the weights! I've successfully been immortalized! Except... I don't podcast; I hate my voice. Guess the models are trying to tell me to podcast. And other people say I shoul…

Meh, I wonder how many Claude commits iOS, MacOS, or Windows has that we just don't see?

Mine works on a Super Dee Duper AI!

There's my dopamine hit for the year.

I'm trying to get out of this. I'm a blind person. No one in tech goes to bed thinking about us, as it were. So, as a non-programmer, vibe coding accessibility fixes was an outlet …

I'm glad I have chatGPT to turn that image with benchmarks into an accessible table lol. I like claude Code, but their accessibility in anything other than accidental CLI accessibi…

Over the past month, with vibe-coding, I've: * Made Termux accessible enough for me to use. * Made an MUD client for Emacs. Gotten Emacs and Emacspeak working on Termux. Gotten XFC…

I'm completely blind. I like Linux. I've started to love Android since getting a Samsung and getting rid of OnePlus, cause accessibility. Termux is cool, but it's accessibility was…

Nah, just Microsoft Copilot. No Os.

No way. There's just no way.

I hate that so much. When blind people are trying to start JAWS (the screen reader) by typing "jaws" into the start menu and pressing Enter, it will sometimes pull up a Bing page o…
