Hello people, I'm Alex, a blind guy that loves technology, logo bloopers, funny signs and errors, as well as music, technology, and generally hanging out with others. I like to post new videos, as well as other interesting stuff, and sometimes even my own random thoughts lmao

Welp, looks like I have managed to fix the problem with a program where it was not respecting contrast settings, the dev used hard coded backgrounds, which were very bright, so I just fixed that in a PR.

When I talk about people putting there head in the sand about AI, this is what I'm talking about, pretending like a problem doesn't exist doesn't make it go away

This is supposed to be a technical channel, can you stop acting like AI is a real thing?

@fastfinge lmao PSR has been developed over years, whereas Ranger Legened came out last year, so I'd assume PSR has less bugs.

2025-05-25

@fastfinge Its feature complete, but it takes some getting used to.

@fastfinge I haven't used CSR in years, so I wouldn't know. Prudence has actions support but if you want a gesture, I think you manually have to set that in Prudence settings.

2025-05-25

@fastfinge Prudence is a bit better, but its not for everyone, neither is CSR/Jishuo or whatever its called.

2025-05-25

@fastfinge Oh oof. That is one of the most enfuriating things I wish Google would fix with TalkBack, but they won't. I don't know what they've updated for TalkBack 16 or the Android 16 beta in terms of this stuff, but I doubt they've suddenly fixed these issues unfortunately.

@J3317 @mikedoise That's so weird, I've hardly ever had that issue, it must be in certain apps or something.

2025-05-24

@J3317 @mikedoise That's probably either an iPad issue, or some apps, IDK, but I don't have that issue, or at least I have rarely experienced that.

2025-05-24

@J3317 @mikedoise Oh ye that thing, I forgot about that lol.

2025-05-24

@J3317 @mikedoise Oh that as well.

2025-05-24

@J3317 @mikedoise Its enough of a problem for me that I won't ever use it on the daily until its fixed, when I'm trying to do something, and have to wait for the stupid thing to scroll it, nope, it takes me out of the moment. Oh and and the sponsored suggestion BS in Google Play, yucky yuck! The only decent alternative to the Play Store was the Amazon Appstore, but that's being closed off to normal Android users in August. Android has some good things going for it, but uggh, they can't seem to fix the issues that have been there for years.

2025-05-24

@mikedoise I don't even have the Meta glasses, and the news of the Android XR glasses is interesting, but I just hope they aren't restricted to being used with Android phones. I will not use Android as primary, I can't stand the way TalkBack behaves when you reach the bottom of a page, and you literally have to wait until it has finished scrolling the screen, and sometimes even then, TalkBack will miss a few items, I have had that happen to me before when I've used Android on the daily.

Will everyone switch from the Meta Ray-Ban glasses to the new Android XR glasses if they are accessible?

Stupid moment of the day for today. No, I promise not to make this a series, at least I hope not! Anyway I meant to ask my Google smart speaker: "What will the temperature be at 6:00 AM?" What I asked instead is…wait for it…"What time will it be at 6:00 AM?" Duh! #lol
