mastodon 4.7.0-beta.1
  • Open on mastodon.social

👨🏽‍🦯 Totally blind since birth, I was a Rotary exchange student to Brazil in high school.
After Edgewood College, I worked as a programmer as well as in IT. Now I help to advance computer accessibility for the blind community.
I've also played piano since age 4, and concentrate in the area of the late 18th century, period instruments, as well as the music.
I have also been fortunate enough to work with the BrainPort artificial vision device, which has changed how I think of objects in my mind.

@j@social.ekis.me I had the formulas in a small braille book. I would program them into the O chord k command on the Braille 'n Speak 640 at the time. I think Orbit Research sells a talking TI30 for around $250 it has Statistical functions in it. If your teacher or professor let's you use a computer, it would be easy to do in python

@mikedoise Your app might force me to upgrade on my Mac, I just haven’t yet. none of the macOS 26 features have interested me yet. I have used Launchbar since 2009 so I don’t care about the improved spotlight or built in clipboard history.

@siracusa It would be interesting to see how well, or bad, the Neo would do, compiling Hyperspace or a real app that’s on the store.

@Tamasg@mindly.social @simon@dragonscave.space Some times I saw the phone go from a Home Screen to the App Library. This was also fixed in my reset. Ye I lost messages grr. But I never use the App Library. I always have an orbit writer or a Bluetooth keyboard with me so I just look up apps with those.

@simon@dragonscave.space And not an older model. In iOS 18 beta 3 my phone started doing strange things. If VoiceOver saw a widget or something in the Dynamic Island it would reboot the spring board, and other strange things. Bluetooth keyboards had problems since before iOS 18 etc. so I completely reset my phone and everything is fine now, even on the developer beta again.
