i have a novel idea β how about we donβt try to convince people that their adaptations, access needs, coping tactics etc are bad because theyβre inconvenient to you in some way or because you disagree on itβs importance??
this is very much too common and ultimately translates into the βim disabled so i need xβ and βx is bad for the environment/city/makes other disabled people look bad/is annoying to me/etc etcβ
mac users: update now
tv hearing accessibility idea
idk why i haven't thought of this sooner, and i'm sure a lot of other folks have.
i have some of those little adapters that plug into devices headphone ports and lets you use bluetooth headphones with them. mainly got them for amateur radio stuff
and yeah you can use them with a tv with an audio output for headphones BUT you could also connect a bluetooth speaker that you could put closer to you, which will be esp useful to keep it down late at night
i am also brainstorming with a few codeyfriends about if there's actually a solution for this within the bounds of what the platforms will allow* and what the necessary applications and APIs make available to us?
idk if it'll go anywhere but i'm kinda hoping it does, it seems like this is a big problem with no good solution right now tbh
* (e.g. discord's "no other clients" [except matrix bridges] rules)
sorry to keep boosting this, i'm just trying to get some visibility to it.
also to be clear, workflow and social solutions are accepted, i'm not just after the technical ones?
except any solution involving "force your friends to switch app or they're not your friend" can just totally miss this thread tyvm
