They/Them
I’ve tried audiobooks but it seems that - as silly as it sounds - I need closed captions with those
a combination of listening and reading with speeds synced up for me (like CC on video content) would work best, and most options for that are subscription based, or require expensive tech last I checked
I’ll check the BBC sounds out tomorrow though, I appreciate the help
hrm yea I don’t really like that take. I get the point but also equating their experience to everyone else is just, not it. It just doesnt work like that for many, even those with the exact same challenges
I’ve tried reading, so often. I want to be able to, even it just doesn’t work for me. And believe me I’ve tried everything
anyway thanks for quoting the relevant sections of the article for me! That was helpful
Thanks for the quote, does the author provide any solution to that or acknowledge that some people simply cannot because if not it feels like a “I can do it with my disabilities so you can too!”
not to mention crappy AI articles being an issue nowadays
the website makes my phone lag
I’m not going to wait for 10 seconds before it scrolls way past where I was reading
Also does this article account for people with (mental, physical or learning) disabilities who cannot read or have more difficulty doing so? You can tell me to read all you want but if the text isnt accessible I simply cant read long texts, I have dyslexia, ADHD (focus issues) and my eyes physically shake leading to me skipping over entire paragraphs unless there’s enough white space between the lines
That is not even to mention people with intelectual disabities or the language barriers that might cause this to not be readable
Yes I have trauma regarding reading but maybe consider there’s more to it than that OP
All that is to say, things arent as simple as “you are the audience, read it”
maybe the article is better but idk cause its inaccessible for me for various reasons including “my phone is not powerful enough to read this article”. I see some form of irony there, considering class was mentioned
that explains a lot, thank you!
whats connected to that steamdeck that allows them to draw
its not that simple. pushing a full cart could start the pain at which point you’re just fucked, pushing the empty cart back might really just be too much after that
given how often disabled people are yelled at for using disabled parking spots, I would not be as optimistic that we’d not be included
As for how they were able to use it, maybe using it for a little bit is okay but it starts physically hurting after a while leading to them not being able to put it back, that has happened to me before. Or maybe the return cart area is a bit up a hill or otherwise inaccessible
that’s because that’s what happened. Simple mobile tools got bought out by a company known for exactly that: putting ads and spyware in apps
thankfully since its open source, there’s already a fork in the works called Fossify
and yet plenty of stuff still runs in the background for me, eating my battery when I don’t need it to be in the background
It has begun
(ps install the fork versions of the simple mobile tools suite, its called fossify)
oh I see you’re that kinda person
No means no
can you not do this? lets keep this disingenuous behavior over on reddit
no its not, consent is important
I do not consent to having my bodily waste be enjoyed by my toilet
yeah, its to the point where when I see a rainbow flag I automatically go “This is not for me, this person is not safe” Same with the still prelavent “Love is love” slogans. That’s great, but I’m aroace and trans so uhhh? Guess I’m not included. Better be safe than deal with a transphobe (and be sorry)
As long as there are transphobes flying the rainbow flag, no it doesn’t.
as long as software I use daily doesn’t work on it as transparently as it did to me as an end user on xorg then yes, to me as the enduser, Wayland does break things and no, Wayland is not ready
I am an enduser. I don’t care about the specifics, I expect things to work and not suddenly break.
For all the “year of the linux desktop” shouting, nobody wants to truly really think about or consider non-dev daily driver endusers who just want things to continue to work like they always have
can’t violate the prime direggtive
hey that’s neat! thank you for your time!
