  1. @FreakyFwoof I have a quick question about #Clipman, specifically syncing. I have #iCloudForWindows installed on both my DellVastro5620 & #BrailleNoteEvolve. On my #iPhone16ProMax, #M2MacbookAir &#M4iPadPro, I have Clipman set to sync with dropbox. Is there an easy way I can move my stuff to iCloud & just use that? Your documentation states that its slower but its actually nearly instantaneous for me. Although, I just realized that I'll need to use #Dropbox if I want to use the app on my #Slint machine, which is a version of #Linux developed specifically for those of us who are #Blind or #VisuallyImpaired & is based on #Slackware. Thanks for any info you can provide & certainly thanks for creating this wonderfull little application!

  6. I'm proud to announce the launch of Blind Productions.
    Blind Productions is a showcase and community I built to celebrate blind creative professionals — musicians, DJs, actors, authors, podcasters, and content creators — and to give us one place to discover each other's work, collaborate, and connect.
    Here's the honest part: this is the ground floor. The doors are open, the foundation is built, and now it's time to fill it up. I'm inviting you to help shape what this becomes — a living archive that future generations can search to discover the musicians and creators who came before them, and a moderated space where we create, support one another, and network as a community.
    What's here today:
    • A searchable directory of blind creatives, each profile with a bio, links to their work, audio to listen to, and video to watch.
    • A moderated community forum for collaboration, support, opportunities, and networking.
    • Accessibility built in from the ground up — screen-reader friendly, fully keyboard operable, with adjustable text, themes, and high contrast on every page.
    So here's my ask: start submitting profile suggestions. Nominate yourself. Nominate the artists you admire. Bring the people who deserve to be found. Create a free account, join the conversation, and let's build something that lasts.
    This is how a legacy gets started — together.
    Explore and submit: blind.productions
    You must be 18 or older to join.

  7. Went to the Vista Center for Blind and Visually Impaired in Santa Cruz today. It was for a combination of personal and professional reasons: (1) I'm blind / low-vision and need local resources and community, and (2) I'm looking for local business connections for my new accessibility nonprofit, Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc. ( @bce ). It was a very helpful and productive first visit on both fronts!

  9. #DisabilityAccessibility #BigTech

    mastodon.accessinformationnews

    In looking through this I see 2 huge flaws -
    1. (beyond mastodon)These are big tech extensions/parts & thusly they're privacy disrespecting pieces of trash.

    2. On the accessibility group/features - they're really only meant for #VisuallyImpaired & #HearingImpaired folks, beyond one that's for temperature regulation issues

    *I'm not saying the groups these are meant for don't matter but the one I'm in & need help with is #spinal.

  10. People love to hate on #GenAI, but it really is a godsend for #VisuallyImpaired people, especially around image descriptions. But it's also massive for #HearingImpaired people too, in terms of auto-captioning. And probably a bunch of other disabilities too. Even if you hate #AI, think of all those applications.

  11. Leckhampton Hill Trig Point is another pointillism-style watercolour painting, based on a walk on Leckhampton Hill. This is the view across towards Charlton Kings Common from the trig point at the top of the hill.

  12. Leckhampton Hill Walk is a recent pointillism-style watercolour painting. Unable to drive, I draw much inspiration from local spaces I can walk to.

    This is a view from along the cross-country walk up towards the top of Leckhampton Hill.

    I love fallen trees and the wealth of microbial biodiversity that makes them their home as the wood slowly decays.
