OK #Blind #Linux people, is it really worthwhile to consider dual booting @elementary or at least testing it out in a VM? I’m probably not going to be able to give up windows completely, correct? What can I do natively under Lennox and what can’t I do? How is word processing, spreadsheets, making presentations? How about editing music notation? what works, what doesn’t, and what am I going to be giving up in terms of time and efficiency? Boosts appreciated and input very much welcome. #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi @mastoblind @blind #OpenSource #ElementaryOS #ScreenReader #Accessibility #A11Y

This is a patch release to fix a security issue & a bug.
- Fixed a vulnerability which could prevent access to secure screens via Remote Access.
- Remote Access now returns control to the local computer if it locks while controlling the remote computer.

Everyday I find more ways that the web has enshittified.... To people doing websites: each time you decide to make a popover that is not related to what you user is doing you should how much you hate your users.
One question we get asked from time to time is if we can recommend an accessible (with NVDA or self-voicing) program to teach touch typing. Can anyone recommend anything being used currently please?
@remixman I had also used Talking Typer from APH 15 years or so ago, and recalled that it was self voicing, so I thought I'd mention both options - Most users just learning touch typing probably aren't overly familiar with / hooked on any given voice, so a typing tutor using a different voice to the screen reader they are or will use isn't generally too much of an issue
