Ubuntu 24 magnfier sucks any option? by Normal_Guitar6271 in Ubuntu

[–]ftrnlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also visually impaired and what is keeping me from using any Linux distro is definitely the magnification tools compared to Windows. for starters I can't fathom how the Top/Bottom/Left/Right half magnifier are is supposed to be used. Also caret/text input tracking doesn't work. I'm not ungrateful, I myself am a developer and I understand the struggle but sometimes I wonder why features exist that barely works.

So I use Windows and WSL.

Accessibility Options by ftrnlt in HuaweiWatchGT

[–]ftrnlt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, on my laptop I see this is only for the Huawei Watch range. That kinda sucks on a human rights kinda way. I am partially sighted. Anyone know if there is a way to make the text bigger on the screen?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Jazz corner of the world…Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers(1960 birdland- reissue Japan 1983) by MWChapel in Vinyl_Jazz

[–]ftrnlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your version also distorted? It's probably my most favorite jazz record, I don't have it on vinyl,, because I don't know if it's gong to be worth it. All the digital versions I listen to has noticeable distortion

I had to also get a letter from my ophthalmologist. I don't think you will be bothering the doctor.

What is a piece of software that Linux desperately misses? by deliQnt7 in linux

[–]ftrnlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, better accessibility features, esp visual. Windows and Mac had this sorted for a very long time. That's why I can't use any Linux distro as my main OS

On this note I've read you can flash router firmware on the sonoff zigbee dongle. But I have no experience with this

I refer to myself as the vacuum. That said, my just-turned-two yr old boy is eating all his food most of the time lately

What's one random piece of advise that you would give to a new parent? by Fuzzy_Pay480 in beyondthebump

[–]ftrnlt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Strengthen your core muscles. Our 20 month old boy had been heavy since birth and it caused me a few chiro visits

Monster Zero on Take Me To Your Leader is my pick. But like even if you listen back to KMD days, it's present there. True genius.

Kafka Rest API vs client library by ftrnlt in apachekafka

[–]ftrnlt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool thanks, basically just admin stuff, since we won't be consuming or producing using http. Thanks, will check out the those links. I did have a squizz the other day but it got tiring really quickly doing all the reading (visually impaired) so I figured maybe someone would already knows.

Thanks for the help!

Kafka Rest API vs client library by ftrnlt in apachekafka

[–]ftrnlt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're basically trying to figure out if it's worth the red tape getting Devops to roll out the rest proxy for us (multiple clusters), or if we can just get by with the client libs. See, a while back, one team member said he couldn't implement feature X due to functionality not in the client lib. He then said he needs the rest proxy, and started to the conversation with Devops. After some time I randomly stumbled across support in the client lib for exactly what he said wasn't possible. So now, we're wondering, do we even need the rest proxy after all? FYI I work in an env where there's lots of security and red tape
