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.

Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

Believe it or not, despite my many years in tech so far, I have already learned quite a few new things about GitHub and Visual Studio Code in the #ACB #BITS #Python class. I just completed, added, committed and pushed the first quiz to my branch and I am looking forward to getting my hands dirty with Python itself. Great thing about the approach taken is that I will now be much more confident when using tools for participating in open source projects everywhere.

is there any other source of zoom or online gathering of #blind people where i can join like #ACB comunity thing? love to join if there are any. #Blindness #Accessibility

¡Muy buenas #Mastodon!

Toca #presentacion: quería empezar un pequeño proyecto en redes sociales para hablar sobre baloncesto europeo, #Euroliga, #ACB, equipos y campeonatos nacionales que me gustan, jugadores europeos en la #NBA… todo desde mi perspectiva personal y sin pretender hacer un seguimiento diario exhaustivo. Algo con lo que disfrutar haciendo lo que me gusta.
Y como se trata de disfrutar, he decidido pasar de #Twitter, #threads o #instagram y venirme aquí vosotros y vosotras

So now #ACB is sending a letter to the corporate entities at X. Hmm why now at this late date? they could have done that almost a year ago, almost, a, year, ago.

As promised, here's an ACB Radio Main Menu clip of @JonathanMosen reviewing MSN Messenger 3.0, its many different features, and the overall screen reader accessibility of the client. First shown on July 24th, 2000. #MainMenu #ACB #ACBRadio #MSNMessenger #accessibility #RetroTech #ScreenReaders #WindowEyes #JAWS https://youtu.be/QyKxEdhwA3o

Parece que hayan pasado mil años en lugar de 30...
