So ...let's face it. A LOT of folks in tech circles are somewhat amazed a fully #blind person can even find the power button on a computer, let alone operate it professionally. I am such a person, and I'd like to bust that myth.
It's also true that many #hacking tools, platforms, courses etc. could use some help in the #accessibility department. It's a neverending vicious circle.
Enter my new twitch channel, IC_null. On this channel, I will be streaming #programming and #hacking content including THM, HTB and who knows what else, from the perspective of a #screenReader user.
What I need, is an audience. If this is something you reckon you or anybody you know might be interested in, drop the channel a follow or share this post. Gimme that #infoSec Mastodon sense of comradery and help me out to make this idea an actual thing :) https://twitch.tv/ic_null #tryHackMe #streamer #selfPromo

Fully blind person hacking, coding and tinkering while using a screen reader. THM, HTB, accessibility, all the things.

@zersiax I'm interested to know as well what your perspective on different operating systems is. My impression is it might be more difficult outside the Windows and macOS worlds because so much accessibility stuff is expensive and proprietary but I'm hoping I'm wrong.
@alastair you're not, unfortunately. Linux Accessibility has been very hit and miss over the last 15 years but at least it exists up to a point. The further you veer off the beaten path, the less likely it is you're going to find enough accessibility features to make it worth doing. Being able to use SSH or similar to access an OS over a commandline shell from an OS that IS accessible helps up to a point
@zersiax I heard the Orca screen reader is actually broken under Wayland which means of course distros shouldn't be shipping Wayland, at least as default. But they are.
@alastair see also: the normies forget we exist and if they remember, we're not a priority. Tis rather sad a thing.
@zersiax I'm aware of that - I'm autistic and have ADHD and bipolar disorder and haven't been able to work for a long time. Obviously I'm not claiming different disabilities are the same, but the tendency of society to ignore or downplay them is unfortunately pervasive.
@alastair yeah ... some things are universal, which is really unfortunate
