I am posting this to both my usual blob.cat account and my Friendica one, in the hopes that someone can help me. It seems that the new version of TWBlue isn't working for me at all. Every time I start it, it says that the program quit unexpectedly the last time it was run, and that if the problem persists, I should report it to the TWBlue developers. I tried it on two different computers with the same result. Fortunately, the last version still works perfectly. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what can I do to resolve this issue?

I got myself a used orbit reader 20 a few days ago.
I'm really happy and excited about this, since I haven't really done anything with #braille since I left the education-system about 12-15 years ago.

A nice article about the rage disabled people can feel towards a society that infantilises them. As an autistic person, this resonates with me.

Samuel ProulxJust tried guide for fun. It's supposed to be an app to use #AI to help #blind folks get things done. I asked "Where are the best liver and onions in Ottawa?" It:
1. Decided it needed to search the web.
2. Thought that the "stardew access" icon on my desktop was a kind of web browser, so clicked it.
3. Imagined an "accept cookies" dialogue it needed to accept.
4. Decided that didn't work, so looked for Google Chrome (I don't have chrome installed on that machine)
5. Finally opened edge from the start menu. By the way, it just...left Stardew open and running. Because apparently having Stardew Valley running in the background is a vital part of finding liver and onions in Ottawa.
6. Opened a random extension from my edge toolbar (goodlinks).
7. Clicked the address bar and loaded google.com, instead of just doing the search right from the address bar.
8. Got blocked because it couldn't sign into my Google account, even though it could have also searched from the Google homepage.
To be fair to AI, that was the kind of open-ended task AI is terrible at. If I had asked it to check an inaccessible checkbox, or read a screenshot, or something, I'm sure it would have been fine.
Anyway, I'm still better at using a computer than an AI. So is my 87 year old grandfather, for that matter. www.guideinteraction.com

As usual you can get BrailleBlaster from the BrailleBlaster website.
#Techshit Hype – #NothingNew
The is nothing new to pointing out that our #fashionistas #mainstreaming crew push mess. Remember when drone deliveries were going to revolutionize shopping? When every major news outlet unthinkably reported that we’d have autonomous quadcopters dropping off toothpaste and Amazon boxes on our doorsteps? Or when 3D TVs were the future of entertainment, pushed so aggressively that manufacturers stopped making non-3D models for a while? Where are they now?

Kinda surprised to be saying this because #HarryPotter is just not my favorite fantasy series (NERD ALERT: I don't love the magic system :)
But that said, Hogwarts Legacy is an exceptionally well crafted video game and a heck of a lot of fun!
The spell casting mechanic is simple enough for a partially #blind guy to cope with while still being satisfying, and the spell casting system is simple but does the job quite adequately.
And I'm only a couple hours in but thus far it's a really nice story set in the Harry Potter universe.

Would an all-foley audio production be the "blind version" of a #silentFilm?
Zeus is great at avoiding obstacles and being agile.

I love written reviews. Anyway, for any #blind #3dprinting folks out there, this is a written review on the Qidi +4. Not only is it a review but it describes the unit in detail and also the setup process and other information as you might expect from a written review/tutorial. I think many will find this informative. https://basic-tutorials.com/reviews/gadget-reviews/qidi-tech-plus4/
