AppleVis Extra 101: Future Echoes - In conversation with the team behind Echo Vision smart glasses applevis.com/podcasts/applevis…


"I went to work for VICE, and made working at VICE part of my identity. I wanted the company to succeed so badly because I believed in what we were doing and I believed in the institution. I worked zillions of hours of unpaid overtime, took on side projects, canceled vacations and worked on vacations thinking that, if I did my job well enough, the company would succeed and we would get to keep doing what we were doing. I spent the vast majority of that time doing work that made money for an over-bloated apparatus that existed to make a bunch of middle managers and executives large salaries and bonuses."

I’d like to upgrade from my old komplete Kontrol s88 mk1 midi controller to an mk3. What do you all suggest I do with the old board besides dropping it in the Gulf of Mexico to create an artificial musical reef? Works but I don’t see myself selling it.

@BorrisInABox Yeah, NI have done a great job of leaving new accessibility customers in limbo.

As an active federal contractor, Coinbase is prohibited from making political contributions, including to super PACs. This makes $50 million that they have contributed in violation of pay-to-play laws for contractors.

TeamTalk truly is a piece of garbage. But I still use it, and will continue to do so, until at least one other voice chat program gets this one simple thing right. Just send the raw fucking opus data over the wire! No compression, no processing, no boxyness, just, send, the raw, fucking, audio! Then I'll be happy! Why is this so hard and seemingly a novel concept for every app in existence minus TeamTalk?
in reply to Tech Singer

@techsinger @modulux Omg...mumble doesn't support stereo audio input? See this is what I mean! Why does nothing get this right! TeamTalk gets everything wrong, from storing passwords in plain text to its UI, but it fucking nailed the audio.
in reply to Quin

I have to admit I don't really need stereo audio input, but sure, it would be nice if it had that.
in reply to Quin

@modulux I just had a quick look at the audio issue github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/… and it looks like it's still not supported.
in reply to Tech Singer

Yep, it seems to support it for audio streams and such but not input. Hopefully they'll get around to it eventually.


My first thought
man, we're so spoiled on Mastodon. There are like four #accessible web apps, multiple accessible IOS and Android apps, at least two accessible Windows apps (even if they both have some issues), and a couple accessible mac apps. As #screenreader users we can actually choose the one we like, rather than picking the one where the largest number of features actually work with a screen reader.

My Second Thought
Man, this should just be the default state of existence. #Blind folks need to demand more. But I get it, it's so easy to just accept the current state of accessibility as normal, and then be surprised by things that actually work.
