Huzzah!

Woohoo!

Please let us know if you experience any weird connectivity issues.

So you’re saying I shouldn’t go get four keyboards using the same specific custom layout and should instead find ways to use other keyboards? Too late! Hehehe.

Yeah, that’s a risk to consider. Not just in accessibility, but other areas. There are people setting up old Macs just to use Aperture, a photo management and editing suite that was discontinued 15 years ago.

Definitely worth keeping in mind.

Cool, I hope it’s all really useful.

Yes, congrats @rumster!

Ah, yeah, Braille screen input in screen away mode. Braille is typed out on a six key chording keyboard. Think home row mods.

When you don’t have to look at the screen, it’s more comfortable to hold a phone that way than to put it down somewhere to type, since you still need both hands.

Neat paradigm shift, for sure.

Yeah, Linux is… complicated. macOS, on the other hand, has screen reader support through the whole process, including recovery. Talk about a disability tax, huh?

Pinning this for a while to get people’s attention. Please notify us when you close the survey.

We really live in an incredible time - while many barriers are social rather than technical, the mainstream and assistive usability we have these days is nothing short of magical.

That’s awesome! Feel free to post any links if you’re comfortable.

Good stuff. Mechanical and organic maintenance are great!

Oof, wow! Well, I hope they serve you well.

Nice! Are you replacing or upgrading?

You absolutely can. To post from Mastodon just mention @main@rblind.com.

There’s an option to skip the captcha if you’re using a screen reader. They then use other heuristics to determine you’re a human. It didn’t work for me the first time, but then did. You may or may not be able to use it if you navigate with the keyboard.
