@serge Exactly. Ban those first, then we'll talk about Meta glasses.

@destranis Отвечу тебе по-русски, а то налетят (пофиг, конечно, но всё равно). Меня лично триггерят попытки в принципе что-то запретить, запретить целую технологию, потому что блин преступники. Может потому, что я в Совке родился, в советском Союзе в смысле, я не знаю, но прям бесит до ужаса.
It's not "something something ableism". It's a tool that allows people to do what they weren't able to do before. distinguish items in the stores. Read menus in restaurants. Discern signs and other inscriptions. Get help from relatives or specialists with video calls instantly, positioning their head.
Okay, if you want to ban smart glasses, ban all cameras in smartphones first. I bet lots and lots and tons of videos were and are being taken with those right now. Yes, videos taken by those people you mentioned. so don't be hypocrite, everything or nothing. And to be honest, that desire to ban everything is really appalling. Ban kitchen knives, they are used by killers. Oh, and forks also, btw, they are dangerous as hell.
It's people's responsibility to observe laws, and it's the countries' responsibility to catch criminals.
You see a nasty person filming something he or she shouldn't? Get this person, fine, sue, whatever. but banning the whole technology because it can be used by criminals seems absurd to me.

I've been seeing this debate come up more frequently of late. My only question to those people who think that banning the Smart Glasses are anti-disabled or whatever. What do you think is the solution? There are maybe at most a couple thousand people with the resources and desire to use the smart glasses, per country possibly less. Compared to hundreds of thousands of able-body people who have the potential to use it negatively. Not to mention *all* of the META glasses coming attached with the Zuck-baggage. So, are we going to let such a potentially dangerous thing go unchecked just because something something ableism? Or are we going to actually provide a working solution?

@technocounselor Only the output, of course. I'm using JAWS with key echo set to words, and when I press Enter, the last word would be spoken, it's enough for me.

controversial, NVDA addons
@sukiletxe Yes. But for some reason I have the same ressentment.
controversial, NVDA addons
Do you know what this #NVDA addons development fever reminds me?
#NodeJS world. Developers will understand.
As we all know, Node has packages for everything: check that a number is positive. Check that a number is odd (separate packages!).
I don't know whether it's good or bad for NVDA (well, I do have a strong opinion about Node though).

@pmorinerie J'adore RSS moi aussi (surtout parce que c'est accessible aux non-voyants comme moi). Pourriez-vous recommander des flux que vous suivez ? Merci !

@amir QT? I'm skeptical right away. but anyway, if they reverse-engineered the API, we can build something decent.

@mcourcel @TheQuinbox rule of thumb: if you want to use a dash in a sentence, basically a dash before a space, use it.
Replying to @mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca
@mcourcel @TheQuinbox I've been using em dashes for years and years before AI. Like from my first days of typing, as soon as I knew how to type it. I have a JAWS script that allows me to type it, and I wrote it very long ago.

slight politics
@destranis You can't imagine. Especially here on Mastodon because of the leftist bubble. When Brigitte Bardot, then Chuck Norris died… I won't quote those horrible insults I read about them because of their political views.
Replying to @FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com
@FreakyFwoof but you can without accessibility.
Replying to @Rich@dragonscave.space
@Rich Also true, but sometimes it's irritating, like there are accounts that post *only* altless pictures.
Usually I don't quite agree with you, but this time you nailed it!
Max Leibman@maxleibman@beige.party"But I could post four pictures in the time it takes me to write alt text for one!"
Yeah. I'm sure you could.
I could throw four pieces of garbage in the general direction of the trash can in the time it takes me to walk over and make sure one piece goes into it. But I care about what it's like to live in my house, so I take that time.
I hope adequate parents there will teach their kids how to use VPN.
