After loving Prey, I’m now playing Dishonored. So far so good, I like how quickly I was able to get zooming and target highlighting in lore appropriate ways!

Sounds like you may want to post to main@rblind.com.

Because they didn’t want to train their JS developers and didn’t want to cause friction for new projects. They get to say they’re using TS, with basically none of the real advantages. (Apart from general rational error checking.)

So you just… didn’t see it? Ba-dum-tss. Hehe.

I might cross post there later.

Hahaha. I find that kinda thing incredibly fun. I once had to fix my soft-bricked Android phone in a hotel in a foreign country with no other connected devices around. That’ll teach me to run nightly builds!

That sounds awesome!

I know they do, the app accessibility support is just unacceptably bad. Orca is also known for crashing - not that hardcore Linux users aren’t used to losing their interface all of a sudden, hehe.

“Steam play?” This sounds like something I should know about. And what would you otherwise, generally, say is a good distro? One that plays well with KDE, if I’m reading the room correctly.

Oh, I really should have mentioned I’ve used Linux a fair bit, including desktop. Just not in a few years and never for gaming.

Is ray tracing hit or miss or would it be best to forget about it?

Good to know. Yeah, I wouldn’t even entertain this idea if I needed a screen reader full time.

Ubuntu is actually particularly terrible: Snap packages (general controversy aside) theme the cursor, so my mouse kinda disappears into them. It’s nice to know people are making alternative magnifiers though - that one doesn’t work for me because I need full screen zoom, but it may be handy for others.

Thanks for reminding me of ProtonDB, that’ll be a good tool to evaluate this possible move.

As an r/blind mod and RBlind.com adminI am, in fact, aware of it. Hehehe.

Seriously though, the blind community Linux desktop install base is small and virtually nonexistent for gaming, and I have very simple accessibility requirements, so I figured I’d get better feedback here.

It’s great to know there’s some awareness of the instance around the broader Fediverse!

[sits quietly in the corner]

Yes, but did you get the job?

Also props for the image description.

Or “How Signal is closer in functionality to WhatsApp by the day, because it turns out people like the functionality of WhatsApp.”

Yeah, I’m all about Jetbrains in Night theme. Thanks for the alt text, by the way.

The photography world has changed quite a lot since the Minolta days.

To answer your question directly, I’d recommend getting a used Sony a7 of whichever generation you like the price of.

That being said, if we dig a bit deeper, kids are some of the most challenging subjects, and family gathering some of the most challenging events: fast movement requiring fast focusing, low light requiring wide apertures, high ISO or flash.

I’d consider switching entirely to a modern system that can get you those features.

First it needs to work, then it needs to work well, and finally it may or may not work quickly. Along the way, it should also be humorously weird.

Why not ‘i’?

I decided to be wrong because the correct joke would be too convoluted. I’ll work on that implementation and then you can inject it at runtime via reflection.
