I am a blind game developer, a11y advocate, and an Accessibility Engineer working with KDE e.V. on Plasma/KDE accessibility.

Views are my own, not that of organizations I work with.

Benchmarking My Game Engine • Ritchie

It's something I wish I started doing earlier... because profilers drive me crazy.

it's also my public confrontation skills I'm training. I generally freeze up when people yell at me in real life, has always made it hard to advocate for myself.

I don't mind pointlessly arguing with punching bags if it means I can better survive an actual threat.

in case anyone wonders why I engage asshats when they refer to anything I talk about as "woke:"

same reason why boxers train on punching bags, but it's my reading and writing skills

It's not that this screen is annoying to click through, it's that I have an overwhelming sense of "am I in the wrong for being sure I want to do this?"
I really don't like blocking people. It requires answering an "are you sure" screen.
Think I'ma look into non-blocking D-Bus calls and get KWin rendering visual screen reader focus rectangles. So I can *see* them. With my *eyes*.

signed another year-long contract with KDE e.V. today
