Question for #Blind and maybe also #LowVision folks: are there any #VideoGames or #mobile #games that are particularly good? Is there a blind game design scene?
I know there are tactile dice and things for some tabletop RPGs and things. While I’m especially curious about digital or video games, I’d also love to hear about more analog examples that are great!

"…#theweb is not dominating #mobile the way it does desktop because it hasn't been allowed to compete. From Apple explicitly suppressing competing browsers & breaking critical features OSwide on the regular, to Google's history of discouraging internal teams from writing mobile web apps and denying competing browsers access to critical PWA features, the fix has been in for 15 yrs.
This grounding in #Apple & #Google proprietary #APIs is the root of the #duopolist's power."

Introducing Duranium: an immutable variant of postmarketOS
PosrtmarketOS, the Linux 'distribution' for mobile devices, now also has an immutable variant, called Duranium.

Setting up phones is a nightmare
Have you bought and set up a new phone for someone else lately, especially someone less technologically savvy? It's a bit of a nightmare, with an endless list of confusing steps and dark patterns trying to trick you into signing up for all kinds of services.

If you’ve been holding on to a phone for a while, current phones are really disappointing

Confira os tipos de manobras que as pessoas se obrigam a realizar para dar alguma mínima função a tornozeleiras eletrônicas de bolso em perfeitas condições físicas, porém inviabilizadas, na prática, pelo software privativo.
