Fully blind screen reader user, developer, gamer, musician. Interested in linguistics, cybersecurity, books and finding clever little hacks to make life easier for both myself and those who may come after me. Pronouns are he/him, location is somewhere in the Netherlands. I public speak now and again, but mostly reserve that kind of thing for #Twitch streams where I show off #accessible #games, either accidentally or deliberately made to be so.

The #code editors with #screenReaders #stream will be starting in just over 3 hours. For non #twitch users, the stream SHOULD also be broadcast to the BlindlyCoding #youtube channel. See you there at 4 EST over at https://twitch.tv/IC_Null or https://youtube.com/@blindlyCoding #programming #accessibility #goingLive

It's Patch Tuesday. Good time to check your updates are up to date! But also it's time for another IC_Null stream today at 3 PM Eastern/9 PM CEST. More of #tryHackMe's Junior #penTesting path today, we zapped past most of the theory-only stuff last week and this week will be all about #webHacking. Prospective #bugBounty hunters curious about accessibility, this is the one to join. See you then at https://twitch.tv/ic_null #twitch #selfPromo #infoSec #goingLive

Just gearing up, and OMG THE VPN WORKS! We're starting back up with an ic_null stream, more #tryHackMe with a #screenReader, significantly more smooth than last week and hey, I'll even archive it this time :-O Come hang out while we hack the system over at https://twitch.tv/ic_null #blind #twitch #accessibility #goingLive #selfPromo #toomanyHashtags

In the immortal words of Starbomb: #Minecraft is for Everyone! But is it really?
In today's Stumble Saturday we'll be taking a look at Minecraft Java as a #gamerWithoutSight. #accessibility mods are downloaded and set up, let's see how far we get. ANd hey, when we crash and burn, we'll continue our forrays into #factorio. See you in an hour at https://twitch.tv/zersiax #blind #screenReader #goingLive #twitch

Steam says these games are playable without sight. I'll be the judge of that. #actuallyBlind !discord !commands

The fact that some people can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bugs me in ways I can't put into words -- Anon

Was just reminded that you can use *no* headings in a web page and automated tests will pass you for WCAG compliance.

You can't use the wrong heading structure if you use no headings at all! Automated tests can't tell where the structure needs to be broken up into sections because they would have to understand the nature of the content. #a11y

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

I really appreciate the boosts regarding this important #accessibility issue within the #pkm community.

If you use #ObsidianMD please 💟 these feature requests and make #obsidian usable for #blind and #partiallysighted users.

You might have your sight now, but what if you lost it one day? How would you cope without screen reader support?

Accessibility: Label input elements to assist with screen readers

This was an accessibility feature request submitted by email. Adding to the forum for multi-user feedback. Use case or problem I have encountered significant accessibility issues as a blind user, particularly with the Android version of the app. I use TalkBack for navigation, and I’ve noticed that text entered in input fields often disappears immediately and is only represented as unlabeled elements. This makes it challenging, if not impossible, to interact with the app effectively. For an app...

Oh my god, Phlex is the best thing to happen to Ruby in a very very long time. Makes working with views SO much easier.
