We haven't done a proper #cybersecurity stream in a minute, let's fix that. Today on the docket: @wireshark . I hear left and right that #wireshark is not #accessible, seen an academic paper to that effect, I'd like to judge this for myself. 2 PM EST, 8 PM CEST, let's see how a fully #blind #screenReader user deals with Wireshark. See you then, over at twitch.tv/IC_Null / youtube.com/@blindlyCoding #infosec #foss #selfPromo

TwitchIC_null - TwitchShaaaaaark on the wiiiiire! 🎵🎵 Is Wireshark accessible?

Updated to add a few hashtags. I feel the need to keep track of my pulse oximetry values during sleep, seeing as I have sleep apnea and am on CPAP and all. Are there any #accessible pulse ox units I can get that connect with Apple Health or something? I use #iOS and do not have Android. Normally I'd look to the Apple Watch but IIRC new units no longer have pulse oximetry capability thanks to the decision handed down in late 23/early 24. Any thoughts? Please boost for reach. Thanks. #AskFedi

I whish I could switch to #linux full time, but unfortunately there are still way too many #accessibility issues for me to do it.
And what about my phone/tablet needs?
Only big tech products are #accessible as far as I'm aware, and the products that are made specificly for the #blind are only available from their manufacturers and can't be purchased from everywhere like most other #tech products can.
Oh and one more thing, asahi-linux needs to start working on getting apple cilikon support into the linux-kernel if they aren't already doing it.
I don't like that there's only 1 distro which supports it, and wayland is inaccessible as hell plus I wanna be able to use something like the mate-desktop or a window-manager like I3.

Our family is looking for a new gas stove. What are people recommending these days in the way of modern stoves with all the bells and whistles, but which are #accessible in some way? A stove that works with #Alexa and/or #Google smart speakers should work fine. At our last home we had an LG which worked with the ThinQ app, and could also be connected to smart speakers. The problem was, if you told your smart speaker to start the oven, it'd set a cook timer of fifteen minutes, which is useless for just about anything, and they got to where they wouldn't accept a new timer setting. Please boost for reach. Thanks. #blind

MobilizeHands Off! COVID Long-Haulers Fights Back · Hands Off**Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them.** We are fighting back! They're taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now. 🚨 **On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!** 🚨 This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country. A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. But we also need a space for people with disabilities to attend, a virtual gathering for people who can't participate in person. COVID Long-Haulers Against Fascism is a group of people with long COVID and their allies. If you would like to learn more, please email us at CLHAgainstFascism@gmail.com.

Is there an #accessible #InternetRadio player for Android? I'm especially looking for minimalistic stuff. I don't need any browsing database or such. Let me enter my URLs and a Name and fine. Transistor is a bit too less; it literally only allows me to enter a URL, and that's a pity because at least let me give a Name for quicker access and some little player. Anything? OSS would be great so I can get it with obtainium, but I take all stuff.
Thanks
