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 - TwitchFully blind person hacking, coding and tinkering while using a screen reader. THM, HTB, accessibility, all the things.

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

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

Edit: I signed up to attend this one!

I just found another virtual event which is organized by folks with Long Covid

"Hands Off! COVID Long-Haulers Fights Back"

Saturday, April 5
1 – 2:30 pm Central Time
Virtual event
Join from anywhere

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. Check out handsoff2025.com for more information.

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen yes, and to add insult to injury #Mozilla didn't even wanted to sell people like @fuchsiii or me a #FirefoxOS device, with the only one being "launched" in the #EU being a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain one could only attain in-store with all the "#KYC" nonsense they had, demanding a legal address in Spain back then.

And #nerds like myself are far from the "#consoomer #Normies" for whom stuff that isn't on shelves at Staturn/MediaMarkt, BestBuy, Walmart, ... doesn't exist. I'm used to importing #tech that I want!

Now that I've tried bluesky out for a bit, I'm honestly not sure what I think of it anymore.
I mean it does have some cool things like third-party app-support, the fedi-bridge, starter-packs etc, but only 300 characters with no way to upgrade is a major bummer!.
I'm on another mastodon-instance besides this one which has the mastodon-standard 500 character-limit.
Yeah 500 can also be very limiting, but at least you have 200 more characters than on bluesky, plus the ability to move to instances with larger limits if you want or need to.

Thank you to the #ADHD, #Dyslexic and #VisionImpaired people here on mastadon who asked for audiobooks of my writings. The more people tell me their access needs, the better position I am in to encourage/ convince my publishers to make my work #Accessible.

Delighted my latest publisher agreed to make an #Audiobook of Wired Our Own Way; An Anthology of #Autistic Irish voices, which will be released tomorrow. Not sure all the platforms it will be on yet.

Screeenshot of audible page showing Wired Our Own Way; An Anthology of Irish Autistic Voices. Edited by Niamh Garvey. Preorder 1 credit. Narrated by Shelley Atkinson and Liam Gerrard
