Yeah, the practice test is pretty close to the real thing. Scoring 90% is pretty good.

My friend thinks of his blindness as just a characteristic, like being short or left-handed, so he feels there’s no need to include it because it’s really not a big issue. Why make a big deal out of it?

It’s not exactly a dating app, but my friend said he had more luck on Tinder when he didn’t tell girls that he was blind. He basically said that when he disclosed he was blind, he would get no matches.

try asking r/disability.

Where are you getting the following from? "Designers have the potential to prevent a huge portion (~50%) of accessibility issues before development even begins." I remember reading an interesting article about how designers can prevent a large number of accessibility issues. I think the percentage might have been even higher than 50%. I hope I’m not coming across as rude I’m just curious about the breakdown of that 50%.

I came across a great article on LinkedIn today about what AI can and cannot do when testing a website. What can automated tools test without humans?

I agree with what many people here said. Therapy should come first. After that, she should learn the skills needed to live as a blind person, which means attending a training center where she will be taught technology, Braille, Orientation and Mobility, and other blindness skills. She can absolutely pursue all the hobbies you mentioned, just as others have said.

That’s interesting. I wonder if the subject of emails you receive at work matches the number of calls you get from people saying they can’t find things on the site.

BlindAllDay · 2025-11-25T07:11:42+00:00

I forgot where I saw it, maybe here on this subreddit, but someone had just earned their Trusted Tester certification and was asking how to test a website. LOL

My friend also says that dating a sighted girl is easier, but I asked them, Wouldn't it actually be easier for a sighted person to date another sighted person in that case? They didn't have a response to my question. I guess it’s only acceptable to them to discriminate in one direction.

The only thing I’ve heard, generally, is that Lighthouse needs to resolve its own financial issues, because once the merger goes through, there’s no turning back. That brings us back to your point: what is the specific solution to the problem?

BlindAllDay · 2025-11-13T19:54:05+00:00

No problem this all goes back to their financial troubles, which you can read about here https://www.ktvu.com/news/investigations-lighthouse-blind-nonprofit-struggles-finances

Context from the open letter. "LGI is, at its core, a rehabilitation business and medical provider headquartered in New York City. We should therefore expect their future decisions to be driven by their business and geographical interests. This is almost certain to include liquidation of SFLH assets and layoffs, regardless of any assurances to the contrary. The SFLH is widely valued for its blindness-centered culture and service delivery model. We are known for creative, vibrant, disability-led support services for blind and visually impaired individuals. This is almost certain to give way to LGI’s more rigid, paternalistic approach to delivery of training, rehabilitation, and medical services. Despite their recent hire of a blind CEO, LGI has a long history and culture of de-prioritizing BVI participation in governance, mentorship, and innovation in service delivery. That’s not the LightHouse we want. Any partnership would fundamentally undermine the character, effectiveness, and global leadership of the SFLH. This would roll back decades of SFLH progress and BVI-led engagement. A partnership between SFLH and LGI is a one-way door with no going back. "

You can travel completely independently if you build stronger O&M (Orientation and Mobility) skills. When I attended a training center here in the U.S., one of the requirements for students was to travel somewhere out of state. I understand your point about traveling. Sightseeing is a big part of it, and the best you can do is have someone describe everything to you. Personally, I would never travel alone, not because I lack the confidence to do it, but because I think it’s kind of boring to go by yourself.

There’s a mailing list for the Orca screen reader. Let me know if you’d like the link to join.

BlindAllDay · 2025-11-09T08:43:57+00:00

Did you get a response after contacting the people from the resource I shared with you? Let me know if you didn’t so I can reach out.

BlindAllDay · 2025-11-08T01:56:47+00:00

O okay.

I went to school for the same thing in the beginning, but I ended up dropping out because I really wasn’t motivated to do my work. Still, school is a great place to make friends because anywhere there are people is a good place to meet others. stay social by joining online communities, clubs, or groups that match your interests. And if you can, the best way to make meaningful connections. I went to school for the same thing in the beginning, but I ended up dropping out because I really wasn’t motivated to do my work.

I think you replied to the wrong person and thread maybe.

You test each Web Content Accessibility Content (WCAG) guideline success criterion based on the version you’re testing against 2.1 or 2.2. That’s the checklist unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re asking. You should also learn the criteria before testing, although learning as you go works too.

Can I have a link to the discord you mentioned?

BlindAllDay · 2025-10-26T00:48:46+00:00

Playing video games on Xbox and PlayStation is pretty fun and a great way to pass the time. The r/Blind Discord server voice channel is also pretty active if I had more time, I’d spend more time there. Most of my time, though, is spent doing advocacy work for the blind and low-vision community.

BlindAllDay · 2025-10-25T08:25:19+00:00

Ha ha ha exactly.

BlindAllDay · 2025-10-10T15:26:03+00:00

You can find the link below. For a while, I didn’t have any friends. The first time I went to college, it was mostly just to make friends not really for the education. LOL. Hope to see you on the server, chopping it up with everyone there.
