I wish I knew. I followed the link to the Matrix community, and it was just confused people and trolling NAZI's. No Nicole, no attempt at catfishing.

Personally, I’d like an open API so I could use it with foobar2000. Not OP but I long for the same thing. I’ve done it, and managing, storing, backing up, my music library costs more than Spotify. And assuming you don’t just pirate everything, add the cost of purchasing albums on top of that. And my time is worth minimum wage at least. I would happily pay someone to just handle this stuff.

This feels AI generated. Especially when combined with the generic video description. riffusion probably.
This has been broken for us on the entire 0.9 series. It works with iceshrimp, go to social, etc. just not mastodon. I think it has something to do with authorized fetch and signatures. But I haven’t tried to track it down as the way lemmy formats posts from mastodon was super ugly anyway.
If you're comfortable with using codeberg, yes, that's the best place. Otherwise you can post in the comments of the original thread, complete the survey, or use github issues (if you must).
Thanks for crossposting! The more widely we can get the theme known and used, the happier we are!
Sadly I don't have an einc device. But if someone does, we'd be happy to accept feedback and include some images.
Announcing RBlind custom dark and light themes for Lemmy
cross-posted from: https://rblind.com/post/3476242
As part of OurBlind's continued efforts to provide accessible online spaces for the blind and visually impaired community, we've developed custom themes for Lemmy, to use on our Lemmy instance on Rblind, and to make available for others, in keeping with the themes' license terms and the spirit of free and open source software.
If you're reading this on www.rblind.com and are not signed in, you're using RBlind-Dark. We hope you're enjoying it! If you log in, you can switch to RBlind-Light. Once logged in, go to your username, then Settings and, use the Themes dropdown to make your selection: we suggest RBlind-Dark or RBlind-Light at the end of the list.
Why these themes matter to us
We started this Lemmy instance back in 2023, prompted by the Reddit API protests. Reddit Inc., the company that controls the website our community r/Blind is on, had announced policy changes that made the apps mo

Or they live in a country where genocide denial is legal. I live in Canada and my server is in Canada. I’m not willing to take the risk so my users can interact with assholes.
All responsible server admins have them defederated. Hate speech and genocide denial, that is almost certainly against the law in Canada, Germany, and other places. We defederated lemmygrad for the same reason.

www.engadget.com EA just made a whole bunch of accessibility patents open-source
EA has made 23 accessibility patents available to other developers, by making them open-source. These patents include technologies for photosensitivity and speech recognition.
So most modern activitypub servers backfill threads and profiles. My single user instance processes 30000 notes a day. If I was actually trying, I’m sure it’d be easy to grab much more while appearing well behaved.
How does that help? My personal instance currently has a database of several million posts thanks to the various Mastodon relays. I don't need to scrape your instance to sell your posts. I don't, of course, but it'd be easy for some company to create friendlycutekittens.social and just start collecting posts. Do you really have time to audit every instance you federate with?
When watching a movie or tv show by ourselves, blind people can’t see the picture. So unless we are watching with a sighted friend, we would rather save on storage and bandwidth by only downloading the audio.
Audiovault.net is the website you want. Made by and for blind folks, it has thousands of AD tracks in mp3 format. You should be able to just sync them with the video. Though blind folks never bother; we only care about audio anyway.

Dink is a simple command-line tool (Linux, Windows, Mac) that provides notifications when your commands finish executing. It can play a sound, show a toast notification, or, on Windows, flash the taskbar icon. It's perfect for long-running commands or background tasks, so you don't have to constantly monitor your terminal.

A Brief Introduction to RBlind
Welcome to rblind.com, a community for blind folks and friends! This is one of the communities affiliated with the OurBlind network. Here, you can interact with both blind and sighted folks alike, in an open, friendly, environment. Just as with Reddit, you can, and are encouraged, to upvote and downvote posts and comments, post your own links and topics in communities, and participate in discussions with others.
Signing Up
As with any community, the first step to participating is to sign up for an account. To do so, you can use the "sign up" link, located in the navigation landmark. You'll be presented with a form that asks for a username, email, password, and asks a question about why you want to join. You'll also be asked if you'd like to see NSFW (not safe for work) content.
Don't worry! We approve all accounts fairly quickly. There's no need to over-think the "why do you want to join" question. We do things this way in order to kee

Hi, everyone!
As you may know, we run a number of communities as part of the OurBlind community. We have this Lemmy, our legacy Reddit community, a Discord community, an IRC server, etc. In order to make sure that moderation is transparent, fair, consistent, safe, and predictable across all of our various community platforms, we have been working to put together a centralized set of rules for all of our various communities. The first version of those rules is now available, and linked above as well as here: https://ourblind.com/comunity-guidelines/
We are completely open to feedback! Did we miss something? Do you think something is unfair, difficult to understand, or incomplete? Comment below! This is version 1.0 of the centralized rules, and we would love to engage in discussion and feedback with all of you, to perfect them as much as possible.
The Nonvisual Gaming Toolkit
This looks like the replacement for BGT. For those of you who haven't heard of BGT, it was a game engine for creating audiogames that was developed throughout the early 2010's. It's possible to migrate old BGT games to NVGT with just a little bit of work. Here's hoping that NVGT brings on a new golden age of cross-platform audiogames.
