Hm. How did you get a mud client working on android? that one I'm super interested in. Not so much emacspeak, but a linux shell that wasn't utter garbage would be nice.

I disagree that these are "nice to have things". They're important, we only don't think so because we, blind people in general, have been in such a serious mess and have been living in a constant battle to get the basics. These things are actually very important, and I say that as one who has never used Emacs and wouldn't know a MUD client if it came up and said hello. Because there has been so little done for blind users, and because every step has been like pulling teeth, and because of the constant low quality we're subjected to, we think if we have the basics, that's enough. It isn't. Tech is supposed to let us do things we couldn't do before. The opinions of others on how valuable those things are is of no importance or interest. Of course, I include my own opinion in that. If you find these things improve your life, then they are absolutely vital and there's no reason whatsoever to think they're unimportant/frivolous. This is one of the advantages of LLMs. I don't see many, but I do see this, the fact that they will get some work done without huge expense when that work simply wouldn't be done otherwise is a wonderful surprise. You feel better because you're rational. The life of a blind person consists, very often, in smashing one's head against walls. Now that smashing is both less painful and actually achieving results. Also, you're not using your head on the wall. Isn't feeling great about that the most reasonable thing anyone can do?
