@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!

#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess
The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to voteBy Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.
"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.
"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.
" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."Read more:

CW: long introduction post
#introduction
Since I've just moved (thanks to the Sunny Garden admins/mods for this place, and Cup of Tea people for my old home)🔃
🌍 I'm Enne (ɛn), punny full name: Aily Enne Bee, they/them, e/em/eir/emself, a trans/non-binary/polygender, neurodivergent, bilingual, omni-demisexual human who happens to be visually impaired.
I have 12 years of experience in:
✔ Music production and sound design (mixing, editing, sample creating, synth programming, synthesis…).
✔ Audio game/software/web development (AngelScript, PHP, JavaScript, HTML, PureBasic, some (C and Python)).
I like nature, pets (especially cats), wind chimes, light rain, music (especially EDM), poetry, Critical Roll, Doctor Who, Formula1, audio dramas, technology, books (especially fantasy and romance), mental health, etc.
I believe in peace, treating everyone equally (with respect), and using one's privileges to benefit people who aren't as fortunate.
The rights of marginalized minorities are basic human rights.
I'm accepting of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, ND and DID people, as well as everyone else.

CW: I may need half a day to describe three measly images; CW: long (almost 1,200 characters), alt-text meta, image description meta
Now I have decided to take a few pictures at #OSFest2023. Which means in a 3-D #VirtualWorld.
Which, in turn, means very long #ImageDescriptions because there's nothing in these pictures that anyone is familiar with. You think 1,500 characters are long? You're cute.
I've been working on it for about an hour. I'm past the 4,000-character mark. Already now, that's too much not only for #Mastodon, but also for #Misskey and default-settings #Firefish. It's way too much for #AltText almost everywhere in the #Fediverse. And I've barely scratched the surface, also because explaining the very setting took more than 3,000 characters already.
Now I'm facing the first challenge. There are four pictures of nebulae. I'll have to identify three of them to be sufficiently informative for curious users, and then I'll have to describe all four of them in all their details for #Blind or #VisuallyImpaired users. And this is what people are the most likely to be familiar with. There are also more than a dozen different spaceships, a space statiion and whatnot.
The things you do for #Accessibility and #Inclusion and to make your pictures understandable for everyone.
