I am blind. Because of course I have to mention it in my profile. Accessibility drives me. I use all the major operating systems in some way, and find great things about all of them. I also enjoy reading, eating, relaxing, eating more, and chatting. I want to be a cat when I grow up.

My opinions are my own, and definitely do not reflect those of my employer.

devinprater, to Discord

So, as if I need even more stuff on Discord to look at... If anyone wants to add me on there, my username is devinprater.

devinprater,

@dhamlinmusic Huh? Wait, what team?

devinprater,

@dhamlinmusic Oh, cool! Yeah, I should go on that server more. I'll see if I can turn on notifications for it so I don't forget so much lol

devinprater,

@Moopypoo It's pretty accessible. :) Well besides the captcha, hopefully they've fixed that.

I wonder if there is audio described Anime?

I was reading one of those star Trek books, and there was a female Q. And she was talking to someone and she was like "What? You can't hear uppercase?" or something like that. I think about that sometimes.

This is my dangerous kitty Penny. She is a very deadly hunter and is very vicious.

She's actually the most gentle cat I've ever met and is the ONLY cat I've ever let play with hands. She never scratches and we play this game every single day.

She is such a nice kitty.

Penny playing with my hand while partially under the couch. I am on the couch and she is attacking my hand. She never scratches and is far more likely to lick your hand raw than she is to actually pierce your skin.

devinprater,

@PlumpCat Best kitten ever!

devinprater, to random

My latest thing. It's raining today, and I a kitten and I not getting wet!

Wow, the lyrics are too long for this post.

rooktallon, to DOOM

Anyome out there play using the Tobi Accessibility Mod? If so, anyone could tell me how to install it right? I don't know what I'm doing. I got both Doom and Doom 2 on Steam because I thought that's what you needed. Any ideas? Thanks.

devinprater,

@rooktallon I'd like to know too.

When you fall asleep at your laptop with your hands on the keyboard, in a chat program, and you wake up expecting to see tons of repeated letters and people mad at you, but oh hey your fingers didn't press down hard enough to make letters this time! That's good.

devinprater, to random

Oh nooo, it raining outside! I a kitten so I stay inside today.

devinprater, to random

Holy crap y'all, I have 54 days of sick leave built up. I don't even know what to say. I mean, I'm not gonna start using them a lot, but wow, it's really nice knowing they're there. I thought I had 18 before, and that was still good, but I was doing a 24 hour day instead of a work day (8 hours, so yeah this is really good. Well, I'm taking a day off today, but 53 sick leave days is still good.

Grumble grumble, folks working on "bringing AI automation to Mac," but what is there for PC? A "co-pilot" that can ... turn on dark mode for you? Like, come on y'all, we Windows folks need love toooo! Lol, envisioning a future where all the cool folks use a Mac, blind or not, cause they can get stuff done quickly that takes Windows users trying to figure everything out, especially pertinent to blind people who have to figure out every new web app we come to, as far as keyboard commands and where stuff is, how to quickly get to the stuff we need and such. It's kinda crazy though. Like, Mac isn't exactly as open a platform as PC. And yet? Here we are, with all kinds of AI apps for Mac that don't exist on PC, that I've seen. And they're usually a tad more accessible, too. Well, I mean, as far as AI apps go. No automatic reading of incoming messages from a chat app, for example. But that's fine, I have what I need. An image describer NVDA addon to describe whatever image I need described, and there's now an OpenAI addon, to interact with that API as a whole, with GPT and such. So I can't complain. Okay, I can, but honestly I think we'll get there in Windows, with ads, and upselling and such, and we'll have a good screen reader to go along with it, lol. Then again, there is Vosh in early development, so Apple could, potentially, in a universe far far away, capture the blind market, lol. No, this post isn't meant to be serious. I don't think.

devinprater,

@techsinger Yep :) I don't feel like setting that up right now. Plus it'll be really slow on this laptop CPU.

devinprater, to random

Yep I'm taking a day off tomorrow. I was going to help a student, so I began to stand up out of my chair. Then, I kinda flopped back into it cause I can't control myself apparently. So I stood up, successfully this time, and then knocked over my heater. Besides, it'll be raining tomorrow, and cold, and I don't wannacatch a cold cause then I really won't be feeling good lol.

👏🔊 The progress of Suno.ai is turning skeptics into believers within the blind community. It's amazing to witness how far AI has come in enhancing accessibility and usability. Suno.ai's advancements are a testament to the potential AI holds for making a real difference. #Blind #Disability #SunoAI #TechTransformation #BlindCommunityBelievers 👏🔊

devinprater,

@Lottie Yes! My songs are the best! :D

devinprater,

@Lottie Awww yay! At least I'm not the only one that loves it. :)

devinprater, to random

Kittens are all you need.

devinprater, to random

My superpower right now is changing buttons into bottoms. :D Cause typos.

devinprater, to ai

Well, I'm sure an NVDA addon with this will be here soon. Just amazing how far things have come. I mean, I hope there's a Windows version of the Llava part of this anyway.

llamafile is the new best way to run a LLM on your own computer:

devinprater,

@MutedTrampet Yeah, I ran Ollama, with a few models, and it's like 3 tokens per second lol. But once they start using more than just NVIDIA GPU's, I think it'll get faster for people like me that have AMD GPU's.

devinprater,

@pax I'm not sure

devinprater, to Sony

Oh hey, Braille Sense 6 is running Android >8, so it'll work with the um... LDAC? A2DP? Whatever Sony's Bluetooth audio codec is. Mmm, much less latency than AAC too.

devinprater,

@PepperTheVixen @dhamlinmusic @munchkinbear It really was.

devinprater,

@jstark It's uh, like, Sony's own little codec. It's on Android, and I guess it somewhat works on Windows and maybe Mac, but not on iOS. It improves latency a bit over AAC too.

I am a totally person who spend 16 hours a day wearing an Apple watch and probably 15 hours 52 minutes (I have to shower) holding an iPhone.
I am excited and fascinated by the incredible boosts to my quality of life being offered by new AI-driven apps such as Be My Eyes virtual assistant and with its model that generates amazing descriptions.

devinprater,

@Lottie You have to shower while holding an iPhone? I'd be worried about it getting wet. :)

devinprater,

@Lottie oh, okay, that makes a little more sense. :) It's awesome that you like technology so much. I love it too, but I'm usually on my computer. :) Keep being awesome!
