I am once again asking you to refrain from using “Zionist” or any variation thereof when you talk about Israel, its government, people from Israel, settler-colonialism, etc.

Because the way you’re using it is similar to how it’s been used as an antisemitic slur for decades and it’s normalizing that kind of thing in a way that will harm Jews who have nothing to do with Israel and may even vocally oppose the policies and actions of Israel’s government.

How Do You Pronounce “DBussy”? ============================== The name is a pun on “dbus” and the name of French Impressionist composer Claude Debussy. The most natural way to pronounce it would be the same as his name. At least, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

Is there a reason I shouldn’t buy a framework laptop to replace this Dell garbage?

I feel like it’s the year 2001 when I resisted getting a mobile phone until I really needed it. Now I’m resisting Meta glasses. Not sure why. Maybe it’s the cost … I really need a laptop too, but it may also be because it’s “what everybody’s doing” in my little community. For now, I resisted instant next day arrival, and my wife and I’ll be old geezer standouts for awhile at least. We are ok being classed as geezerz though.

@jscholes @amy0223 With third-party support on the way IE, Be My Eyes etc, they will trounce Envision glasses for portability in short-order. If they allow one third-party app, others will surely follow.

@FreakyFwoof @jscholes @amy0223 Yeah we're going in the right direction IMHO with mainstream equipment with third-party app support, rather than using specific hardware like Envision and Orcam have done in the past. I'm still not a huge convert at the moment, but I don't need to record video right now. I'm still wanting to do more OCR reading with these glasses, which I don't believe is an option right now.

@andrew @FreakyFwoof @jscholes I don’t have the need for any kind of smart glasses right now and we’re trying to save money and all. But if I were buying, even with any downsides I’ll take a mainstream option over a for the blind product. I just don’t trust these niche products that are so highly priced to stay around. And when envision ends up like Orcam it’ll be a mess.

@amy0223 @andrew @jscholes What you said. I've tried to go mainstream with products I've purchased as much as humanly possible. Orbit Reader is an exception for obvious reason. In 1994, my dad gave me a Franklin Language Master which just *happened* to have TTs, so even that I guess is an off-the-shelf product. Loved that thing.

@FreakyFwoof @amy0223 @andrew @jscholes That Language Master, which was called the Language Master 6000 Special Edition, was amazing. Everything on it was accessible and it even came with an excellent instruction tape. Several years ago, I bought a used one so I could continue to play with it. I always hoped that Franklin would have released an accessible encyclopedia but I don't think they ever did.

@sclower @FreakyFwoof @amy0223 @andrew @jscholes I totally forgot that I had done a demo of that product and even now I barely remember it. That came about because Blazie Engineering became a distributor, though not the only distributor, of that product.

The sky was thick solid clouds stretching from the horizon in the east to just above the horizon in the west. I wondered if that little gap above the horizon in the west would be enough for an interesting sunset. We waited 35 minutes for sunset and it was worth it.

"I received four denials on the same day. Three of which occurred when requesting one ride. I was connected with another driver and was again denied another two times. The app notified me that I would have to re-request my ride as it had timed out. Later that afternoon, I attempted to request a ride home. The driver arrived, saw me and my dog, and drove away without speaking to us. This time I did not notify the driver previous to them arriving.” – Guide Dog User in Texas, January 2023

Another audiogame that would be cool to have the music for is Manaman 2, then I could build a Mist World music soundpack for it - I wouldn't even need all sounds, just all musics. The manual thankfully lists artists, but unlike STW does not list track names so I cannot purchase them like I did (bonus: I now have a bunch of purchased music and I did get to support the artists too)

Never forget that Canada decided non disabled people needed $2000 a month to survive the COVID shutdown - yet expects disabled people (who may never earn again) to live on approx $1300 or less.

Being sick is expensive - and we shouldn’t be worth less than our non disabled peers.

Yep!

In the US we got $2,000 covid pay. But disability pay is only $700. And it takes up to 10 years to process your application
