New To This Network And Want to Meet More People

Check the many podcast that AppleVis has created. I think there is one on the Apple TV. I might be mistaking but checked it.

Hi Travis and welcome to this great community. I'd suggest clicking on the link which says "Getting Started with Your First Mac, iPhone, etc". The wording has changed somewhat, but that link has a lot of great information for beginners. The many AppleVis podcast episodes that have been done are also very useful. As for me, I am on my second Mac and am possibly getting my second iPhone too. I mainly use speech, but just recently got one of the free NLS Braille eReaders that are being distributed. I haven't used a Braille display much though, so getting my eReader up and running has been a bit of a challenge but I'm up to it. I also happen to have LCA. Anyway, welcome and enjoy.

Greetings and salutations,

I check out the newest posts here every day, often learning about newly discovered (or newly rendered) accessible apps, posts about IOS and MacOS updates and their bugs and work arounds. The people here are almost all very helpful and ready to jump in when someone posts that they are having problems or need advice.

I am a 69 year old (or so they tell me) retired lawyer living in rural Southern Oregon. My hobbies are composing, recording and arranging music, and operating my own recording studio. I am totally blind due to retinitis pigmentosa and have been blind since 20. Smile. Welcome to applevis! Oh, I recommend you check out the new podcasts as they come out. Anonymouse and Tyler, for example, give informative, helpful podcast on new stuff.

Enjoy!

Bruce

The podcasts are really helpful! You can't find the older content before 2021 though—for that you need the website. I would also recommend you do a site search "Apple TV" or just what you want to know about it. If you don't see what you're looking for, feel free to ask a question on the forum, the people here are so nice and helpful.
Good luck and have fun!

welcome. If you are on aMastodon feel free to follow me
@dennislong82@tweesecake.social

Recently, Mastodon has become a great platform to network with others who share your interests while giving you more control over what you see, which is an advantage of Mastodon over centralized networks like FaceBook and Twitter. My mastodon URL is mastodon.applevis.com/@tyler.

If you have any questions about how to get started with Mastodon, you can search the AppleVis forum, which features a number of threads from other users who are also learning and exploring it, and you can post a new topic if you have a question you can't find an existing answer to.

Also thanks for the shoutout Bruce.

Welcome to the site, I hope you enjoy mate

Yep, I live in Norway which is far far away from California.
South western Norway to be more precise.
I love beer, especially hoppy American beers :-)
I'm not sure that hoppy is even a word but beers with a lot of hops, also known as IPA LOL

I'm totally blind but not from birth.
RP or retinitis pigmentosa is the cause of blindness for me.

I love books and music and also some podcasts.
I try to hang out with my friends as often as possible where we drink beer and discuss beer, cheers!

I wish i lived closer to Cali, so we could have some beers.
Most definitely there are a lot of beers over there that are not available over here and vice versa.
Yep, believe it or not but we have some good beers over here in the land of the vikings.

Hi Travis, welcome to the community! as others have said, the vast majority of people on here are very helpful and good-humoured with it. I myself am located in Barnet, UK. Now, there's a splendid debate about whether barnet is part of Hertfordshire or London. I personally like to take the hertfordshire side when it suits me, and vice versa. so Barnet is in London for the purpose of getting free travel on Transport for London services, but Barnet is in Hertfordshire if I'm trying to argue how peaceful it is compared to living in london. I contribute on here from time to time, albeit in a somewhat eccentric style.

And now, to Norwegian beers: I haven't tried any but I would be very keen for a recommendation or two. We also have great British beers to try, Al-Salil. I enjoyed a few pints of beavertown Neck Oil last night, for example, from the north London-based Beavertown brewery. Additionally enjoyed some Sidepocket For a Toad (Tryngg) and Ghost Ship (Can't remember where that one's from). I shan't go on at risk of going off-topic, which risk has already materialised.

Yes, indeed you have.

I am actually familiar with Beavertown.
Great brewery and I had two pints last Saturday.
I also had an IPA by Vocation Brewery which I believe is also based in the UK.

Heart & Soul IPA - Vocation Brewery
Bloody 'Ell IPA - Beavertown
Neck Oil IPA - Beavertown

Of those three I prefer Neck Oil.

Lervig is one of the best breweries in Norway in my opinion.
They're based in Stavanger which is very close to where I live.
I believe they export some of their beer to UK but probably not all of their different beers.

Anyways, by Lervig I like:

Lervig Hoppy Joe
Lervig Lucky Jack
Lervig Easy

I've visited London twice and I loved it.
Never been in Barnet though.
In fact I really want to visit Brighton or Little London by the sea :-)
I enjoy Peter James crime fiction books about the policeman Roy Grace.
Peter James is living in East Sussex and all his Roy Grace novels takes place in Brighton & Hove and the area around/in East Sussex.

The best part about alcohol is drinking it whilst listening to some sessions. You can’t go wrong some Australian rugby league titles!
I haven’t ever had alcohol before, and never will. Well, not right now anyway. I have better things to care about.
Find a job, after graduating from high school, probably a psychologist, or an Apple Store worker, settle into a house, somewhere in Australia or America,, get my dream love, get married and start a small family. Then settle back into life, do my job, and make everybody proud.
But I would watch a game of footy whilst drinking some Okie.
Yeah, can never go wrong with watching the Sharkeys.
Things up!
But welcome to the community, you’ll find very good people here. If you want to ever talk with me, Austin sites, I will gladly give you all of us the phone number for the contact form , in fact, if anybody wants to my contact details to talk with me office here, they will be very glad to text me through my online contact from here, and I will give it. I always love meeting new people.
People is the best.

This is a good place to ask questions and look for tips. I also recommend listening to the podcasts, which are excellent. You can also listen to them from the native podcasts app, but I think they go back further if you listen to them here on Applevis.

if you ever read Oliver Twist, there's the bit where Oliver escapes from the undertaker's and walks to London. He meets the artful Dodger in Barnet - the whole character is based on the pickpockets at Barnet Fair. They actually go and have a drink in what is now, and was then, Ye Old Mitre Inn on Barnet High Street.

Another vote for neck oil is great to see. You should also get a case of beers from cheddar Ales - yes, the original location for cheddar cheese - based in cheddar Gorge, Somerset.

There used to be an IOS app called Brew2You here in the UK. i tstarted during lockdown and was designed to keep the microbreweries and the bigger breweries going while the pubs were closed. it was basically a platform linking to all participating breweries and you could buy your cases of beer online. it was a fantastic idea and the app was mostly accessible. Where the app didn't do the job, the website did. Sadly it's closing now as it's no longer needed. Fun while it lasted - I made some splendid discoveries through it.
