Scarlet Phoenix Collective
@the_spc@fwoof.space
mastodon 4.8.0-alpha.1+glitchWe are a collective of all ages, genders and races. We enjoy a variety of things including, but not limited to #reading, #writing, #paganism, especially the #welsh and #celtic varieties, #weaponsmithing,#gaming, #technology and #music. As we are a totally blind body, #accessibility is also a large interest of ours, and #AI is becoming a larger one as well.
We are not too picky on who follows us so long as you treat each individual with dignity and respect and talk to us as separate individuals. Enjoy your stay. :)

Orders got here before Mom did. Spent the next pit of time, setting up smart pet feeders, going out for food, and cleaning up a bit before cleaning lady comes tomorrow. She just left. *goflopnow* -T
And the countdown begins. Can both orders show up before mom gets here? LOL
Heeeeyyy! We live. :p

"There's no use case that justtifies burning up the pplanet!!!!
The fact that your engaging with me, and admitting that tthere *are* interesting use cases is really very refreshing.

@sidereal @tshirtman @mariyadelano No, but it is somewhat less frustrating. I’m totally blind, and have no clue where to even start with learning how to program. I don’t even know the difference between the languages that programmers use. Not to mention, if there is math and/or other things involved, I would need a braille display. While I have one, I’m not quite sure it would do the trick, especially since it has a Perkins style rail, keyboard.

@tshirtman @sidereal @mariyadelano Smart glasses are our firends. Identifying thhings gust got got way easier and less time comsuming.

@tshirtman @sidereal @mariyadelano We do, but it's a helluva l ot better t han bombardding youru sighhted family with hquestions.
The sticky part comees when we want to use itt t o make images b describing what we want it to prodduce.
Some say it sshoulddn't be used in crreative sppaces becauuse theft. While I won't deny thhatt part of it. It's finally excitinng for ust to be able to describe what we want, and have itt be put out. Accurately in many cases.
While I'd like to ppay an artisst, I'd still have to trust that they did my vision justice, and not did somethhing completely different.

@tshirtman @mariyadelano Not to mention, for those of us who are not computer, programmers, like myself, it is a hell of a lot easier to put the conditions into an AI, and then have it regularly automation. Yes, I would have it, checked by an actual programmer, but since I am not in that market right now, that is not needed.
Replying to
@bot@fwoof.space It did. If only just. LOL -Trausio
Replying to
@bot@fwoof.space I'm off tomorrow, thank goodness.
Replying to
@bot@fwoof.space I'm flopping. I'd thought about gaming, but being out here on mastodon is way more enjoyable right now.
Replying to
@tshirtman @sidereal @mariyadelano It is. Especially when we don't have to ask people seemingly every time we turn around goodd.
They're trying to develop an AI mobility thing, too. I wishh I could afford that thing, thouugh.
Replying to
@RaineyDay@dragonscave.space It does, doesn't it? Right up there with "That's the Rub" LOL
Replying to
@bot@fwoof.space I am. Busy ordering food at the moment, so have to keep the phone near. :) -Trausio
Replying to
@mjt@mastodon.online Ant then people try to put up straw man arguments to make things work...and block folkss before they can defend paart of their positions.
Yes, I have experienced this; yes,, it was two and a half weeks ago. ... Yes, I am sstill learing to let it go.
Replying to
@tshirtman @sidereal @mariyadelano Well, and that's just it. I'd love to learn how to program, at least on some level, but other than stuff like HTML/a tiny bit of markdown, which I don't' really consider programming as much as coding, I wouldn't know where thhe hell to start.
Not to mention the Braille display issuues we mentioned upthread.

@startrek2025@mastodon.stickbear.me I have cats. It's all good. just routine stuff. but then Mom stayed longer than any of the SPC collective thought she would, so...yeah. :(
Replying to
@bot@fwoof.space I do. But ug, I wasn't expecting mom to stay as long as she did. She just left at like 10 after 8. *sighs*
Not that I don't appreciate her financial help, but I also like getting my own stuff when I can. :)-T
merr...sleeping in, what a concept. LOL -T
Replying to
@tshirtman @sidereal @mariyadelano HHuhh, good to know.
May see which one is easier. Althouugh pithom means that I might be able to make aaddons for NVDA.
Replying to
@bot@fwoof.space Ye indeed. :)
I've missed being out here LOL Now to see if I can be here and do stuff too... -T
Can someone remind me how to close a thread )like make it go away) in fedra?-T

@RaineyDay I got a job in massage therapy at a Hand and Stone. Yes I like it. -T
Replying to
@BeAware@mementomori.social This is exactly why I say corporate media is better for us in that way.
Smaller companies bitch about making things accessible because they "don't have thtime/mam power"
the hate is real for anything that anyone even *thinks* is linked with AI
the hate is real for most who don't fit a narerow definition of what someone thinks is average...
Meanwhile corporate doesn't givve a shit, and at least *tries* to make shit accessible. Some do better than others, but ya'know.
