@BeAware Like, no moderation tools for you, but I shall block you all the same. What?

@BeAware Why does that feel like a life accomplishment? lol

Not laughing at your attempt, just laughing at the utter irony.

@EmeraldRose @InsaneAtheist Fuck cane and able.

Seriously!

The name alone just makes me want to slap some bitches. lol

@EmeraldRose @InsaneAtheist Hmm, to snark, or not to snark, that is the question...

@EmeraldRose @InsaneAtheist I just told my girlfriend about this instance and she thinks it's just as funny as me.

No offense meant to those of you over there on that instance, it's just I find it funny as shit that that's the name that was chosen. I mean of all things...

@EmeraldRose @InsaneAtheist Righty O... #WhenSnarksAttack time... This one goes out to those who remember!

Okay, blind people will strait up wine and bitch and complain anytime someone makes a statement about, "oh, you can do things, but your blind?" Yet, these same motherfuckers will up and create a mastodon instance that leans into abelist language.

I'm all for reclaiming things, but at this point you're just inviting assholes like me to come along to provide snarky commentary on the utter ridiculousness of your stance.

So, which is it. Are you able because you use a cane, or does the cane enable you to...You know what? That doesn't make any sense either.

Fuck this, there's no hope for yall.

So, where would one suggest buying HRT supplies and meds online?

I wanna get ahead of the damage and start stocking up, but there's only so much I can farm from my insurance. Will talk to my doc about things, but I'd rather have backup plans and a sizeable backup supply should things get bad.

Please boost for visibility.

@tek @mybarkingdogs @thegibson Are you guys taking applicants of random disabled trans long term netrunners who lack programming skills? Because like....

@BeAware Oh my fucking god! What?

That's...I don't know how I feel about this. lol

Shameless self-promotion time!

🚨IN CASE YOU MISSED IT! 🚨

It’s been a hella busy week in the Chromaverse.

For starters, there’s been a couple releases.

Dreamcatcher - Single:
A return to more of a Cyberpunk inspired sound, featuring guitars, retro synthwave-synths, and a grittiness that only comes from the high tech, low life aesthetic that is the Cyberpunk culture, this one manages to also convey emotion, almost in the same kind of vein as Depeche mode, or at least that’s what I was going for.

Spectrumatic – EP:
Similar in nature to Polymer, the chemistry-inspired not-exactly-a-concept album I released last month, Spectrumatic is a 21 minute long beast of a track that can rightfully be considered an EP that lives up to its name by hacking the net of sounds found in IDM, Industrial, Psytrance and more, all wrapped up in a psychedelic electronica package. This one has been blowing up on social media, even before it hits stores, so be sure to give a listen.

Until next time, Chromeheads,

Tetra, OUT!

@BeAware Fuck ain't that the truth!

@BeAware Yall need to be recording this.

@BeAware I feel like that could be the set up for some sort of VR LitRPG. Keep us all posted.

@BeAware Nice! and yay good cyber deeds!

Hey #blind #students of #Mastodon.

So I'm running into some accessibility issues in my algebra course involving graphing. I do not have the support of state services for the blind, however I'm connected with disability services on campus. Otherwise, I'm going at all this on my own and for the most part handeling things well.

However, I'm not exactly sure how best to overcome things where advanced math and graphing come into play.

My tools currently include a standard, non-graphic calculator, a laptop running NVDA as a screen reader, 80-cell braille display on lone from disability services and a whole lot of tenacity. So far, I've maintained a consistent A in my course, but with the graphing stuff, I'm concerned that might change.

So, what are your tools and techniques for dealing with this and more advanced calculatory things? What add-ons may be of use, what tools should I be looking at, and what questions should I be asking?

Thank you so much in advanced to anyone who offers any advice.

@kaia We kinda need to see more of this honestly, and not just at conventions.

I'm all for normalizing contact between even casual interactions as we're all creatures of touch, but in this day and age, acknowledgement of consent is a lot more expected, so pins like these would be a good thing so people know who they can hug and who they shouldn't.

@BeAware I love reading your posts here. Like, Viva la Resistance!

@BeAware

The one thing I keep coming backto is how us blind folks are mostly pinned into the Masto side of things, as there's really no Pluroma clients that are accessible to us, and the sites are generally shit. Bubble timeline much?

All the others are the same way. Very inaccessible, and the APIs, as I understand it, operate differently, so the two or three clients we do have that are made within our communities don't bridge the gap. That's not even going into the other fediverse platforms, most of which are really not friendly to our tech uses.

Also, there's the snag that some of us do have some useable vision, like myself for example, and all our clients made in the blind community feature absolutely no image support, which in the case of people like me, means that we're extra reliant on alt text images.

This is why I like ELK. The accessibility is passible though not the best, and I do get image and video support without having to leave the app.

@BeAware @lynnskyi @luv4music1231 NP. You know your shit and aren't an ass about it like some others can be. :)

Do you know what accessibility is like with the app? Like I know you don't use screen readers or any of that, but have you heard anything from other users?

@BeAware @lynnskyi @luv4music1231 Thanks man. Apreciate your input.

I don't know all the little details like you and I wasn't about to further complicate this topic by talking out of my tail hole. :)
