I’ve been living with Stargardt’s disease since I was 9, and it’s deteriorated to the point that I can’t read physical books or papers, and I pretty much have to use my computer for everything with magnification and screen reader software....
I just installed the Be My Eyes app (android). I was disappointed to find that the app did not recognize my system settings for dark mode and adjust accordingly. I am photo-phobic and the default bright white color scheme is unusable for me. I tried to adjust using Android’s accessibility option to toggle to an inverted color...
hello friends of rblind. I am a sighted person who follows the kbin-core repo. I saw an issue #1143 opened recently regarding the use of alt in markdown. I am having a hard time discerning whether it is a productive request or not....
my dad is blind....
I’m honestly not sure what I’m hoping to do with this post. Maybe just see if others have had similar experiences. I’ve needed glasses my whole life, ever since I was a little kid, and my terrible eyesight has always been a running gag. I thought it was normal for my eyes to hurt all the time and my sight to get blurry and...

This post should take about two minutes for most screenreaders to get through. If you feel like that’s too long, you can just skip the post’s body and only answer the question in the title. I’m not your mom....
I started taking a Linux course which recommends creating a virtual machine using Oracle Virtual Box. However this app doesn’t seem accessible, either with Jaws or NVDA. Has anyone found a solution? Is VMWare any better?
Hi everyone,...
This is actually surprisingly good. The ophthalmologist goes into some very common and relevant topics, like the difference between an ophthalmologist, optometrist and optician, what “legally blind” means, different causes of blindness…...
As a blind man, I know I am usually attracted to the sound of a woman’s voice. It’s usually just the way they say a specific word or syllable, like “uh huh”. However I find this almost never happens with people in the “real world”. It only happens with voice actors, other performers, and people who are completely...
https://rblind.com/pictrs/image/ebc1a47c-6695-4814-8e09-1a57ade4a948.jpegToday, I took the self-test after finding it on my friend’s profile. When I completed the test, I received a score of 65%, which I understand is a high score that indicates I might be suffering from the disorder. Yes, I am addicted to daydreaming and I...
I figured I should share some of my thoughts on this. Think what you will about my perspective or decisions and formulate your own - we should all get to act on our values.
FYI: I’ve got RP, with some very narrow, but still decent, central vision. But I need a white cane to get around safely. I’ve got two questions about people trying to help me get around. I live in the US:...

Hi, folks:...
Hi everyone,...
So playing visual novels written in Ren’Py has become my latest momentary obsession. I figured I’d create a thread to post my thoughts on the few I’ve played, and see if anyone else has played any good ones. If you have, let me know in the comments! I really want to hear what everyone is enjoying....
