I’m blind, and participate in a lot of research projects to create accessible technology, which are mostly done by universities. What I have noticed as a foreigner participating wi…

You can continue to do terrible things as a company, just as long as you don’t do it with Israel

The same happens in Latin America as well. If you want to get through the layers of bureaucracy without being stuck for years in a process, you have to pay up. And it has to be a w…

[flagged]

This is extremely common in Third World countries, where I come from. In my view, both nonprofits and large religious organizations attract the same kind of people. People who want…

That’s just one part of the issue. The other part of the issue is accessibility bugs, you would have to get the model to learn to use a screen reader, and then change things as nee…

I can’t see why that would be a Mac specific issue. I use both platforms, and it would be on the Developer to support screen readers on either platform. Microsoft Office didn’t sup…

On windows for ARM there are quite a few bugs during emulation that I don’t get on an x64 based system, even while using effectively the same settings for the program. Software usi…

As a person of color who is also disabled, I find bringing race into the discussion to be reductionist. It reduces the individual to the skin color, which is just as bad as what yo…

They would want a lot of control over the company

I doubt anybody else would take the same risk, not with the board still in power.

Just geekbench, not much else.

I'd agree, but QC isn't in the business of selling laptops directly to the consumer. If OEMs decide the platform isn't worth it for them, There's not much Qualcomm can do.

You can't really sell software for running a braille display on its own, for example. As for interest going up, I doubt that very much, as linux is still lacking good vision access…

This would be terrible for specialized hardware, such as assistive technology. Open source software doesn’t really exist for it because there is simply no interest.

I’m working on a startup that does this. look for clew on the AppStore.

The main problem with the glasses, in my view, is the cost. It means those of us in developing countries cannot afford it, meaning its only available to a select few. This seems to…

As a user, my biggest concern is that it won’t describe certain content, such as adult content or something that might be considered offensive.. I feel like I should be able full c…

I come from a developing country, and I agree. very often, the people consuming drugs come from a stable socioeconomic background from middle to upper class. When my family and I l…

Do you have a ZFS pool on each drive?

While this is true, a large part of the problem faced by Puerto Ricans is the local corruption we see in most of the Caribbean. In my country, a lot of people wish we were a part o…

I think the open source community has failed screen reader users. You cannot use Linux with a desktop environment without major accessibility issues layered throughout. It’s partic…

The AI test kitchen app is not accessible with voiceover

Second generation immigrants struggle to speak the language of their parents, however. This happens at least with immigrants from my country to the U.S.

Also blind here, and a computer science student. Biggest problem is the funding, at least from my perspective. Assistive technology is very expensive, and producing it still is ext…
