Kara Goldfinch (karalg84@dragonscave.space)'s status on Tuesday, 21-May-2024 16:23:15 JST Kara Goldfinch I tried Copilot for maybe the second time yesterday. I had to launch it a few times before I could use the UI with NVDA, and after finally beating it into submition, turns out I could've found out what I wanted to know by just googling for it.
I still don't get why it needs a dedicated key or these new Copilot+ laptops. They call them PCs but to me that's a desktop. -

Kara Goldfinch (karalg84@dragonscave.space)'s status on Sunday, 19-May-2024 23:40:35 JST Kara Goldfinch Is there an online group for blind musicians that isn't Facebook? So an e-mail list, forum, discord server etc?
I don't mean one dedicated to your favourite DAW of choice, I'm in a couple of those already. I mean just a general musicians group if that makes sense. -

Kara Goldfinch (karalg84@dragonscave.space)'s status on Sunday, 19-May-2024 15:30:21 JST Kara Goldfinch @Caoimhe The absolute worst thing like this for me was Rupert Degas reading Never say Die, one of the Alex Rider books. Every time a character ate something, I think he did and talked with his mouth full. God it was horrible.

Kara Goldfinch (karalg84@dragonscave.space)'s status on Thursday, 16-May-2024 18:03:07 JST Kara Goldfinch Wikipedia mentions that it's Global Accessibility Awareness Day on the English version's main page, but to create an account on there and many of the Wikimedia Foundation's other projects you have to complete an inaccessible captcha. They offer an option for someone to create an account for you if you can't fill it in, but that's not good enough.
There's been a ticket open about this since 2006 according to the date stamp and nothing's been done.

Kara Goldfinch (karalg84@dragonscave.space)'s status on Sunday, 05-May-2024 17:33:39 JST Kara Goldfinch A thing that's puzzled me for ages is why satellite tv requires a fairly large dish on the side of your house when your phone's satellite connection doesn't need anything like that.

Kara Goldfinch (karalg84@dragonscave.space)'s status on Sunday, 05-May-2024 17:32:36 JST Kara Goldfinch @esther @olivvybee I reckon this also explains why the iPhone 14's direct satalite connection for the SOS function is such a pain in the arse. I've tried the demo and you have to point it in a specific direction to lock on. I guess if it had a dish connected it wouldn't need all that faffing around

Kara Goldfinch (karalg84@dragonscave.space)'s status on Friday, 03-May-2024 17:40:26 JST Kara Goldfinch I bloody hate Windows 10's "Before you continue..." boxes. And the "Sorry to see you go!" when you click skip, and obviously it's a skip for now button.

Kara Goldfinch (karalg84@dragonscave.space)'s status on Monday, 29-Apr-2024 16:46:16 JST Kara Goldfinch I lost it a bit on Facebook yesterday and ranted that one of the reasons they hardly hear from me is the majority of what they post is "maybe an image of one person and text". I went on to say that I'd be forever asking them what that even means and I can't be bothered.
So contrast that to here where the majority of images are described. It really makes me feel like I'm welcome here. -

Kara Goldfinch (karalg84@dragonscave.space)'s status on Wednesday, 17-Apr-2024 16:16:26 JST Kara Goldfinch I've only just learnt that Butterkist as in the popcorn brand is spelt like that, not butterkissed or butter kissed. This is one of the reasons why these days I won't boost these posts about blind people with crap spelling. My spelling is pretty horrendous, not to mention my grammar and the rest of it.
My dad's spelling is even worse and he's sighted. -

Anyone know what loud machine noise means?
