so I have a question, are you able to see well enough to type on a keyboard or are you using Speech
so I have a question, are you able to see well enough to type on a keyboard or are you using Speech To Text
Rif so I salute you
RIt's very hard to explain
Rfair enough
RI'm not "fully" blind, in the sense that I can still see
Rbut I'm also WAY beyond "just wear glasses"
Rfair enough
RI'm legally blind with a visual acuity of 20/400 in the best eye as of 2018
Rand I have no peripheral vision, no central vision in my right eye
Rno night vision
Rslight colorblindness
Rphotosensitivity (the Sun, bright lights, and light themes give me physical pain, burning sensation in the back of my eyes within seconds)
R(hence the username)
Rfair enough
RAnd I have a severe astigmatism, hence why I need a screen reader
RThe best usernames are personal
RText is perfectly sharp, I just need to concentrate a lot to just keep my eyes still
RAnd that doesn't leave much room to comprehend what I'm reading
RI can maybe read a few words at a time, but reading anything longer than a basic sentence is borderline impossible for me
Rbet things like universal dark mode extensions are a life saver
RThey're mandatory.
Rconsidering how many websites just like want kill everyone's eyes
Rlet alone yours
RIn fact I have to break the Discord TOS just to use Discord at all, I use a custom theme that emulates the AMOLED theme you get on mobile, but on desktop
Rthat is fucking cool
RI kinda want that
Ldiscord removed amoled on the shitty new android version
Rdid they :(
RI also wrote a TTS plugin for Rider that lets me highlight any text in the code editor and have it read aloud
Rstill enabled for me?
RIt doesn't always read things perfectly but it's better than nothing
Li can't enable it
Rdebugging sounds like pain
RSurprisingly not
RI usually just use the interactive debugger you get in Rider where it lets you execute code
Rmhm
Rlike the C# interpreter or the stepper?
Awhat
Athat was like
Aits best feature
Rstill on for me
Rthe interpreter, I use it to read the state of things in memory
Rahh
RThat way it only outputs what I know I'm interested in, and it's small enough of an output that I can read it without TTS
Rdid your eyes get injured or were you born with eyes that were just that uncooperative?
RBorn with a genetic defect
Rahh, that is unfortunate. I hope one day they can get ocular and genetic problems like that sorted out.
Rnot expecting good eye transplants/replacements anytime soon though :(
RIronically one of the most annoying things for me is society's transition to using phones for everything
Roh yeah that I bet fucked you
RSometimes, services are ONLY available through an app
