As part of the degree in #cybersecurity I'm working on, we have a course on social awareness, social justice, implicit bias etc. and it is rather insightful to have to think about this explicitly. LIke... yes, I am fully #blind, but I'm also white, male, somewhat affluent and in a safe-ish place, which means there's a lot of factors outside of my control that essentially give me a smoother ride through life than others would, in spite of my #disability.
An important nuance I haven't seen so far though is that even within a marginalized group, opinions can vary wildly about to what degree something is considered "a problem". The fact #twitch tried to get rid of "blind playthrough" in 2020 because it was considered ablist language is a great example of this: nobody in my circle thought this was problematic, we all had a good laugh and basically said they probably had bigger problems to worry about.
Now however, only a few years later, I see more and more sentiments shifting where that is concerned, asking writers not to use blind as synonymous for ignorant, stupid or incompetent. Same with terms like crippling debt. And as opposed to the Twitch example, this time it's actually #PWD who are making these points.
The question now becomes: Did times change, and did people get more offended by this / more hurt by this? Or is this simply yet another example of people finally coming forward about something that's irked them for decades?
I myself know where I stand on this, but I'd be a hypocrite if I decided to, in this case, decide everybody thinks as I do, where I normally always preach caution about homogenizing #accessibility.
This post doesn't really go anywhere, I just thought it was an interesting bit of contemplating :))


A recap: We've covered a number of things on this channel so far, from an @elementary review to a look at code editors, datascience tools, screen readers, hacking tools like Burp Suite and platforms like TryHackMe, all from a screen raeder user's perspective. I'm only just getting started though, intending to cover a wide variety of different things, from more #FOSS tools, audio/video editing, programming and hacking tools etc.
Today's stream will be more #tryHackMe content, with a look at #HackTheBox Academy next week. Anyone who wants this kind of feedback, and doesn't mind constructive, but thorough, feedback, come talk to me :) We'll be going live today at 3 PMeST over at https;//twitch.tv/ic_null and youtube.com/@lindlyCoding #infoSEc #cybersecurity #accessibility #selfPromo #twitch #youtube #streaming


Ok, in an hour, i'll be starting this up. High temps, high effort and high complexity, what oculd go wrong? Let's dig into the #screenReader #accessibility of #jupyter notebooks, a tool prevalent in #dataScience, #python #programming in general, #machineLearning and therefore also practically all things #ai etc.
See you then over at twitch.tv/ic_null and youtube.com/@blindlycoding #goingLive #twitch #youtube #selfPromo


SO when the #accessibility testing, advocating and fixing becomes a bit much it can be rather cathartic to, rather than take " we'll maybe at some point get to this eventually possibly maybe" , you just fireball your obstacles out of existence.
I do gaming stoofs too on this tiny little #twitch channel simply called Zersiax, and will be checking out some #diabloIV over there in half an hour. If the new #openSSH vuln is making you sad or the ladybird dev's got you down on your luck, come see stuff getting exploded, it helps, I promise :) See you then, over at https;//twitch.tv/zersiax #selfPromo #gaming #noTechStuffForAChange


So... I made noise on their official discussion spot. That means I'm locked in. uh oh :P discourse.jupyter.org/t/stream… :P #dataScience #AI #MachineLearning #jupyter #notebooks #Python #programming #selfPromo #twitch


Ahright, Patch tuesday be upon us so the final IC_Null stream for the week is upon us. Let's run down the remaining part of the web portion of the #thm Jr Pentester path so we're all good to go for the #burpsuite deep-dive next week. I can already say, that dive will be gory indeed :) You all know the drill by now, #accessibility as in how do these #thm rooms work when all you have to parse them is a #screenReader. Relatively smooth sailing so far, when do we run ashore and how do we sail on? COme see :) See you at 3 EST at twitch.tv/ic_null or youtube.com/@blindlycoding, pick your poison :) #twitch #youtube #streamer #selfPromo


Hey, look at that. Mainly through efforts from you lot, I was able to get IC_Null to #twitch Affiliate status in under a month. This allows me to make even better, more varied and interesting content for you all. Thanks for sharing, watching and showing me your interest everyone ... we've only just gotten started :) #infoSec #cybersecurity #streaming


Patch tuesday be upon us once more. That means another IC_Null stream at 3 PM EST/9 PM CEST today. Today we cover more #TryHackMe content in the #webHacking category. SOme announcements about the channel as well. Next week, we'll take a break from pure #THM to go full ham on #burpSuite #accessibility ... or the lack there of. Let's see how long it takes for us to be forced onto the far superior #zaproxy :) See you all tonight at twitch.tv/ic_null #infoSec #cybersecurity #blind #screenReader #a11y #twitch


Test your might! On this Walop Wednesday we'll be waloping indeed as we look at what's changed in #mortalKombat1. THere's been a number of #accessibility updates and I'm curious how it's faring these days. There'll be #gaming, chuckles and laughs as we explore what's new. See you in 45 minutes at twitch.tv/zersiax #twitch #streamer #goingLive #blind #screenreader


It's Patch Tuesday. Good time to check your updates are up to date! But also it's time for another IC_Null stream today at 3 PM Eastern/9 PM CEST. More of #tryHackMe's Junior #penTesting path today, we zapped past most of the theory-only stuff last week and this week will be all about #webHacking. Prospective #bugBounty hunters curious about accessibility, this is the one to join. See you then at twitch.tv/ic_null #twitch #selfPromo #infoSec #goingLive


Just gearing up, and OMG THE VPN WORKS! We're starting back up with an ic_null stream, more #tryHackMe with a #screenReader, significantly more smooth than last week and hey, I'll even archive it this time :-O Come hang out while we hack the system over at twitch.tv/ic_null #blind #twitch #accessibility #goingLive #selfPromo #toomanyHashtags


OK :) Next IC_Null #twitch stream will at 3 PM eastern on #patchTuesday. VPn issues were sorted (obviously the cuplrit was #windows) so we can start the #tryHackMe content off good and proper this time. Expect #linux #accessibility, #screenReader black magic and other such rantings tomorrow at twitch.tv/ic_null #selfPromo #streamer #areHashtagsEvenStillCool?


Just a reminder, we're blasting off at 3 PM eastern today at twitch.tv/IC_null. Be there or 🐝πŸŸ₯ :) Cookie for anyone who catches why what I just did is an #accessibility blunder. Today on the Docket; #tryHackMe's #accessibility, as well as whatever tools we encounter along the way. See you there :) #twitch #streamer #AMA #selfPromo #goingLive


We got up to 71 followers in not even a day. That is honestly meteoric.
Tomorrow at 3 PM EST I'll do a first #stream. We'll make us a #TryHackMe account, go through the new user flow, maybe do a room or two while looking at the various #accessibility gotchas we run into. In future streams we'll do similar for HTB, HTBA etc. as well as more #programming related things but tomorrow ...we leave pallet town all mozie-like. See you all then! #twitch #infoSec #selfPromo


Streamah! You know I am a streamah!
Been a minute, but let's pick it back up today. We're looking at Spider Man 2, a #game on the #ps5 which received some #accessibility updates, including #audioDescription, recently. This Stumble Saturday, we be swinging into spider webs and, no doubt, fall off them with equal fervor. See you there in an hour over at twitch.tv/zersiax #gamerWithoutSight #twitch #streamer #goingLive


Ok, I guess everything is ready?

Let's try it: twitch.tv/alice_mkh
Consider it a test stream - this is a very different setup than what I use for games, and well, this is the first time I'm streaming libadwaita work.

#twitch#stream#libadwaita


My live-streamed #curl release presentation on #twitch starts in a little less than an hour over at twitch.tv/curlhacker


Also for #BlackFriday I've found another streamer! I first saw Peas last night on #GamesDoneQuick, livestreaming Mario Kart 8 DLC and that Puyo game with surprisingly deep lore.

And maybe, a few games on #DivineKnockout, also with drops enabled!

The free open source livestreaming platform OwnCast has set up a demo server at:

watch.owncast.online

It currently runs a loop of videos by people who self-host their livestreams using OwnCast, along with short videos promoting other libre projects.

If you run a free open project and have a short video (under 1 minute), you can have it added to this loop by contacting @owncast.

OwnCast servers include Fediverse compatibility, so you can follow them from Mastodon etc. When a stream you follow goes live, you'll see a message telling you about it in your timeline.

#FediTips #Fediverse #OwnCast #FOSS #Libre #LiveStreaming #Twitch #Alternatives


OwnCast is a sort of Fediverse alternative to Twitch. It lets people host their own video livestream with a chat window at the side, and OwnCast accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc.

You can find out more about @owncast at owncast.online, and they have a directory of streamers at directory.owncast.online

If you follow an OwnCast account from Mastodon, you will see a post from them in your timeline telling you when the account has gone live.

Also, if you follow an OwnCast account or boost its posts, this will appear in the livestream's chat window (see the attached picture).

Some OwnCast accounts you can try following right now include:

@live (soulful house music shows)

@hatnix (Linux gaming streams)

@Hamish - (retro gaming streams)

(Note that some OwnCast accounts do not have Fediverse switched on yet, so they won't be visible on Mastodon etc)

#OwnCast #OwnTips #FediTips #Fediverse #Twitch #Alternatives


OwnCast is a free open source self-hostable streaming platform, basically a libre alternative to Twitch, and also currently testing Fediverse support too! :blobcool:

There's more info about it on its website at owncast.online

The project is looking for help running an OwnCast dedicated Fediverse account. (There is currently a bot at @owncast but this just provides automated posts about streamers.)

If you think you can help with this, or want to be involved with the project in any other way, get in touch with OwnCast here:
