Friends, this is the coolest thing I have ever seen and you should see it too.

Tbf I didn't realise a lot about mobility issues and accessibility until my skeleton rebelled. It's easy to ignore things that don't affect you.

[heidiknits@mastodon.social]

@Linzington Very cool. He sounds like a great guitar player, even just hearing the few notes he played.

[retrosponge@kind.social]

@Linzington I had an experience like this yesterday. There's a game controller coming out with a mini steering wheel on it for sim racing on a gamepad.

All I saw was people shitting all over it saying, well you could buy a wheel and pedals for that amount.

So I pointed out to them that it's a boon for disabled people who want to be racing with a steering wheel but can't due to lower limb issues.

Nobody stopped to think about accessibility.

@Heidiknits @Linzington
This guy seems like a great human, genuine. He does videos about navigating the world as blind guy with his kiddo as well.

[peterrenshaw@ioc.exchange]

@Linzington be as enthusiastic about music as this musician 🎸☺️

[kolya@social.cologne]

@Linzington he's uh amped

[liebach@mastodon.art]

@Linzington They should make all amps like that, or at least make it an option, free of charge. That would be extremely cool of them.

I'm not blind, don't read braille, but I would love to have an amp like that, as long as there was normal markings on it too, otherwise I'd be lost, like a blind person.

@Linzington
This especially makes sense on account of music being an entirely auditory medium, and therefore something it makes sense to make as accessible as possible to blind people.

[grootinside@troet.cafe]

@Linzington
This is the way! 😎

Btw. and if you are not so lucky someone should use a 3D printer to print out some labels to apply to each knob. 🤘

[jackeric@beige.party]

@liebach @Linzington yep, it's a great amp, but it shouldn't be a one-off!

[coldclimate@hachyderm.io]

@Linzington now that is marketing

[leipoa@det.social]

@Kieler_Nase You didn't know you needed this but now you do!

[liebach@mastodon.art]

@AlexanderVI @jackeric @Linzington Yes. Everyone wins by having accessibility features built-in.

[kim@fedi.social]

@Linzington@kind.social Does it go to ⠼⠁⠁?

[linzington@kind.social]

@jackeric @liebach fully agree!

[linzington@kind.social]

@kim does that, perchance, say eleven in braille 😁
