Post #3884697

Contemplating transitioning off Linux to #FreeBSD or #NetBSD but worried about #accessibility. Does anyone have experience of using #braille displays with the BSDs? I think BRLTTY claims to run on those platforms, but I have found FreeBSD documentation disclaiming support for braille devices, but perhaps this is outdated.

    @iaruffell@mastodon.scot There was someone looking to buy a used braille display for FreeBSD testing a couple weeks back, but I can't remember who. There is technical interest, but I can't speak to actual use.
