Hey there. I'm a 23 year old man who loves music, talking to people either online or in person, and playing video games. I'm currently a college student and am in fact part of a set of triplets who're also blind. I hope to have fun here.

Anyone out there got any servers I can join just to socialize? I'm looking for a few.

If any of you think the following article is caused for celebration, please Unfollow me because I cannot have someone threatening my life.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 Yeah, that's some shitty stuff there certainly. Guy wants to hang anyone he suspects of being LGBT. If he's elected, he'll basically kill anyone he doesn't like and it'll all be above board by the law of the United States. Scary shit.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 I'd say if you're gona move anywhere, go down to Virginia. We've got Democrats all over the place in the northern part and I don't think any extremists are going to find any ground here.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 Speaking as a member of the LGBT community, I'd say I'm glad I don't live in SC. It's gonna be crazy if this guy is elected. Id imaginhe one of two things will happen. He's gonna go all out with the killings. Or the people in DC are gonna do something and stop him from making that policy change. I hope the latter.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 Canada's worse though. They're going conserative there as well so I'd watch out if I were you.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 Yeah, that sounds like a good option, but do your research, eh?

Just bought screen reader, also known as Commentary. I don't know how to close apps and it seems to work best in landscape orientation. Any idea how to make it work with portrait orientation and how to close apps?

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 I just turned on multi-finger gestures and it works the way I want it except for that it works better in landscape mode.

I'm hearing that people are able to play Unreal Tournament 99 and 2004 accessibly. How are they doing it?

rooktallon,

@seedy I've been wondering the same myself.

Just wondering what people think of eSIMS? I'm considering switching to one. I know there are several advantages and disadvantages. From what I've been reading, it'll be much easier to transfer an eSIM to a new device. At least that's how it seems by reading the instructions on my carrier's site.

rooktallon,

@rowdyamerican I like esims. No need for a physical card you may loose because its so small.

Getting 4. Definitely an interesting game and even though it'll take a lot of patience, it sounds like fun.

I seriously do not understand the difference between UEB and whatever I learned when I was little. I’ve been working with it for days now and nothing looks any different.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 I was there when they got rid of the old Braille code. At the very meeting where the voting took place. It isn't that different but by God when I was a kid, it really pissed me off.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 It was hilarious I competed in the Braille Challenge as a kid twice without studying the Braille Code at all. First time, I got 3rd place in my region, second time, I won it.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 Yeah, wasn't good enough to get into Nationals but I wasn't aiming for it either. I just wanted to win regionals.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 Lol, that's funny.

If you've ever wanted a bassoon group to perform Jazz music, here is your opportunity to listen. Not something you see very often but it works surprisingly well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKBrnjxlKgU

Oh, if any of you guys ever need braille devices, message me, and I’ll direct you to the person you should talk to.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 I wonder what I'd theoretically be paying for a Braille Sense 6.

In the last few months, we went from AI music being a curiosity you needed a good Linux box to play with, to something pretty crappy but looking somewhat interesting, to... this.

rooktallon,

@miki Yeah I know. I love the fade out and everything. I mean the artifacts are still there and all. But that's a small price to pay for what I'm thinking is someone typing some lyrics and stuff into the AI and having it be generated. You have to wonder how much all this costs to do per user. I'm thinking $20 per song or so.

Any of you guys got android 15 beta just yet? I want to know if the corrupting is fixed so I can play.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 I don't install beta software, ever. It's just not something I do myself. Ever since I bricked my Windows machine trying it.

rooktallon, to random

Testing.

How hard is it to get one of those annual licenses for jaws? I have not changed my mind about wanting one, even if it is for one piece of software. Who knows, I might actually end up liking it. While I have your attention, let me ask you this, Which screen reader has better touchscreen support? I have the touchscreen and I’m going to use it.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 I can answer the first question. It's pretty easy. Just search up Freedom Scientific Licensing portal and then create an account and buy it, it should download a file that both installs and activates JAWS for you.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 oh cool! Is that yourself?

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 You're very cheerful. It's a great photo.

The applause company reversed there decision on a subscription for vdr. Yet another example of blind entitlement and arm-twisting winning the day instead of reasonable discussion on people paying fairly for a good product. Leave it to the entitled to never want to gain without losing something in return.

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 @bryansmart @LeonianUniverse @gocu54 Do you get all the same features as VDR or are we excluded for some features as usual because Apple is paying to get everything while we as Android userws get scraps?

rooktallon,

@evilcookies98 @LeonianUniverse @gocu54 Does it have Bookshare access? PDF reader? And all of the other features Apple gets with VDR? If I'm going to pay for this, I want everything VDR has with no exclusions. Android users shouldn't be left out simply because we're not willing or are unable to get an Apple device.
