So … to get the normal apps I need to work onto my new Kubuntu (Ubuntu) computer, I need to
▪ find it on a developer's own site. Probably find several.
… randomly choose one?
▪ somehow vet the developer myself? lest his executable harm my computer or hijack my data
▪ type the magical incantation into a terminal window to install it (#dyslexic, aargh)
▪ find another magical incantation to start it up ...

Q: Is this life on Linux?
Or am I just using the wrong version of Linux?

#sigh

@ukapala So I offer a counter viewpoint? I’m #autistic and #dyslexic and I find that (for anything non-trivial) my brain absorbs information much *better* when presented in video (or strictly audio) form; and that it kinds of slides off (like water on a duck) if only read it. So I make extensive use of audiobooks (and text to speech software) and videos when trying to learn anything.

Now that said I will be the first to admit that there are a *lot* of terrible videos on the internet - where people (as you say) take a 30-second video and make it five minutes with pointless fluff. And those are as annoying as heck. But usually I can just skip those and find a better video.

I guess at the end of the day - my point here is everyone processes information differently - and that variety is good.

Also thankyou to all of the people who are still making videos with the objecting of sharing knowledge - and not with the intent to try to “be an influencer”.

Appel à la communauté :
Mon enfant étant dyslexie sévère couplé par des démarches aux accès des outils numériques qui traînent dans le temps (démarches MDPH reconnues mais commissions longues).
QUEL environnement bureautique est , à votre connaissance, adapté pour ce type de problématiques? Je pourrais envisager de créer un pc adapté.
Distributions? Logiciels?
Merci par avance

Can anyone recommend a (good) PDF to speech application for #linux ? Ideally one that can handle academic papers which may be in 2 columns.

@tripplehelix and 2FA codes, as a #dyslexic I struggle to memorise a 6 digit code while switching between apps on my phone before it times out.
Preparing for a new class, spending hours figuring out how to use my tech to make the materials they provide more #dyslexic and #ADHD friendly on my e-ink tablet. It's fun - I'm just glad I have the luxury of time to do it!
