@lesbianhacker @felix@radical.town Orca looks like what he needs. I'll mention Sonar too. I don't think he's interested in switching distros right now, he's been using Debian for years, but it does look interesting.
It looks like Orca actually uses the libre library he wrote for interfacing with Braille.

@thufie I have a foreskin inflation device for foreskin restoration, and if a bit of air gets into your urethra, you can get little dick queefs.
Question for anybody who uses a screenreader or other accessibility software on GNU/Linux, or knows anything about them: What DE/WM should I recommend to someone who wants to try using one?
I have a friend who's blind and deaf, and his main system runs Debian with no gui installed. He uses BRLTTY to read his TTY with a mechanical braille display.
He also has two windows systems that he uses for some things, with NVDA and JAWS set to output to his braille display.
He emailed me recently saying that he's fed up with a lot of the things Microsoft is doing with Windows 10, and he wants to try using a GUI on his Debian system so he can browse websites that won't work from a terminal browser, and do other things that he's using the windows computers for right now.
Has anyone tried using a few DEs with a screenreader? I think anything that works well with a screenreader should work with his braille device. boosts appreciated
Jasmine is a delightful fragrance, but unfortunately it makes plants feel uncomfortable.
Jasmonates are a class of chemicals which contribute to the scent of jasmine. They're also commonly pheromones which plants use to warn each other of danger, particularly when herbivores are around. Plants detect these molecules and start putting up defences.
(Jasmonates also act as plant hormones which help regulate growth, reproductive development, and photosynthesis)
I was surprised that NYTimes still manages to detect Chrome Incognito mode (I thought Chrome had fixed that bug), so I dug in. How do they do it? It's actually pretty clever:
- Firefox: indexedDB throws an error in private browsing
- Safari: localStorage is disabled
- Edge/IE: indexedDB is null
- Chrome: estimate the available storage quota, if it's lower than ~125MB, then it's Incognito
uspol - Texas child anti-trans bills
@KARiley40@octodon.social Yeah, a lot of these bills have explicit exceptions to allow circumcision/MGM and intersex genital mutilation. They are banning hormone therapy being done to people with their consent, and allowing genital cutting that is done without their consent.
lewd adjacent, genitals, mutilation
@urology@hellsite.site @garfield That's the best reason to restore your foreskin, you get a secure place to store valuables.

I'm an intactivist, all children have the right to be protected from genital cutting before they can consent, regardless of their genitalia. A consenting adult has the right to do what they want with their own body. #intactivism #i2 #autonomy
