I'm a totally blind father to a very energetic and smart 8-year-old. I'm passionate about #technology and #accessibility. I'm also a proud board member of my local chapter of the Canadian Counsel of the Blind. Hobbies include listening to music, dabbling in audio production with Reaper and playing the odd audio game. I look forward to thoughtful discussions with others on here and enjoying the federated approach.
Good afternoon all. I hope everybody is having a good day. It's so frustrating when the UI for an app changes and totally breaks the experience. I went to use the Copilot tab of the Bing app today which is my preferred AI experience. It's a total disaster including a button that is labeled "The accessibility button for settings." I think I'll be switching to the GPT app.
@Cam @payown I don't know if you've tried them or not but I enjoy Blind Drive which has a good story and can be very difficult at times. I also found demos of a couple games a few years ago called Altogether Frequency and Frequency Missing. They're more focused on making choices to drive the direction of the story where blind drive involves trying to avoid other cars by sound. All 3 have great audio. I miss Papa Sangre and other games made by that developer.

There's a new dating site for older people. It's called "Carbon Dating."

Also, I would rather work and earn than take handouts any day. If you need someone with decades of experience in machine learning or python programming, or know someone who does, let me know in a PM. I'm willing to work for cheap, especially if it helps me upskill with LLMs. (My lack of hands-on experience with LLMs in particular is why I am struggling.) I'm happy to work contracts, part time, pay by the job, pay by the hour, you name it. Make me an offer or ask me for a bid!

Again, ***please boost for reach.***

@glaroc That sounds rough. What a great experience to be part of that though. I wasn't in a marching band but I did play in my school band and am glad I did.
@DerryLawlor @lulu_bear My Nana introduced me to Upstairs, Downstairs at a young age along with many other great British comedy and drama shows. I haven't thought about it until reading this post.

@DerryLawlor I'm not sure. Everything else seems to be working on my end.
