tapper··on OpenWrt One – Open Hardware Router
Hi I tried with OPNSense, but I use a screen reader they made a big song and dance about fixing 11y on there web interface. In the end they did fuck all. OpenWRT has bin good with a screen reader since the start and the few times I have pointed out things to be fixed they have bin fixed with in days. So yeah go OpenWRT.

There is a screen reader in Linux but it just is not that good. If it was better then I would think about it. I have tried!

You should post on the NVDA email list. https://nvda.groups.io/g/nvda Or the Screen reader list: https://winaccess.groups.io/g/winaccess FYI blind people do not like any lag when reading that’s is why so many still use eloquence and espeak.

tapper··on Researchers launch "moonshot" to cure blindness through eye transplants
Blind from berth here. Would not want!

I am blind and blind is me. All though I am now 42 years old so learning to use a new set of eyes would be hard if not impossible.

Having to take a bunch of pills for the rest of your life to stop your body from casting your eyes out of your face is not for me!

This could be a grate thing for young kids that have had eye trauma or cancer.

Your brain does not learn to use your eyes until the age of about 7 anyway so that could help in the brain learning to use the new eyes.
