Being blind is a spectrum, but even 'fully' blind people can use phones and computers with a screen reader.
Alt-text allows people to describe images, OCR can recognise text in images, and now AI can also describe images.
Blind people aren't helpless, incapable or dependent, like some stereotypes might lead you to believe. Many are able to live relatively normal, independent lives.
Some even play videogames and stream on twitch.
But some find constantly being asked the same questions and needing to inform others that they aren't incapable to be quite annoying. Especially when this sort of info is readily available online.
