Apple has release the logic pro for ipad. This is another step in decentralizing the production of music. Many blind and low vision people love music. some play various instruments. Others sing and still otheres like myself can compose music. As with most apple products it is from what I have heard from others is pretty accessable with voiceover. Hopefully there will soon be a censorship resistant and decentralized way for msicians and composers to take their love of music and make it at least a little profitable.

Well whatever happened yesterday I now have a nostr.builder account that is being verified. How does one use it it? This may be the most important. Part of building nostr and the clients on it. The education of how to use it. As well as placing such user manuals in the hands of those who start migrating outside the walled gardens of the centralized platforms.

Has anyone else had trouble loging into Nostr. Builder? I tried to login just now and despite using the exact password it kept having login again and again. I was hoping to pay for space to start building my nostr experiance including setting up a lightning address so I can finally give and recieve zaps.

Guy Swann has posted several posts regarding AI that I find worth. Thinking. About. My question is how will the explosion of AI applications iether by one gigantic AI unit or by billions of little AI units affect the quality of life for those living various disabilities? How can we make sure that the AI revolution serves the wellbing of man rather than becoming a tyranical monster that harms humanity?

For those who might believe that all these posts are my whining that is not true. It is my attempt to document what I am going through to make this work. I feel that in the long run many blind and visually impaired people might benefit from what developers and entrepreneurs may gleam fromwhat I say here.

WELL IT LOOKS LIKE I DO HAVE TECHNICAL TROUBLE SETTING UP ZAPS. I’M TRYING TO UTILIZE BOSTR.CBUILDER IN HOPLES OF GETTING MY LIGHTNING ADDRESS SOLIDLY ON DAMUS. BUT I’LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FEW DAYS TO TO HAVE ENOUGH FIAT TO PUT SATS IN cash app Simply because for some reason when I tap open wallet in nostr.builder it doesn’t let choose which wallet it will open. It auto opens to cash app.

One thing I haven’t figured out yet is how to send and recieve zaps. I tried sending a zap and the window that one video I watcedsaid should pop opendidn’t pop open. so I’ll try again and see if I need to use the container command to find this pop up window.

I know of a couple of fellow students at braille Institute who prefer the interface of instagram. Does anyone know if there is a instragram like nostr client for IOS? That might help grow the nostr ecosystem. Just a thought.

Has anoyone else found that they can’t coppy their nostr pub to twitter anymore or is it just me and possibly a voiceover issue? I would appreciate it if someone would let me know so I can hopefully get more nostr followers from twitter.

Guy Swann in one of his bitcoin audable episodes made a rather interesting suggestion. This suggested idea is that instead of migrating AI to one gigantic centralized monster. We should strive to have billions of little AIs competing with each other. This makes sense as many useful assistive technologies for the blind already use AI. So the goal should be in my humble opinion is to keep. AI on humanity’s side. and Guys suggestion may be the way to do it.

Somethig that most people especially developers might realize is the a large majority of people with sustantial vision loss including those who are legally blind are senior. In fact the average age of students of Braille Institute of Southern California are seniors. I believe is something like 70 years old. That means many are not going to be as tech savvy as younger people. Just something to keep in mind.

I have another question how do you repost something you want to share on Damus? It that what the broadcast button in the share menu is for?

I would like to know gowever how or if it is possible to create a custom lightning address. This whole lightning address thing is quite new to me. So I hope to learn enough to be able to explain it if that should become needed.

A few days ago a learned that someone had asked if I had technical problems with setting up zaps. It looks like at this point not. I have a believe set up a lightning address. I would appreciate any feedback letting me know if in fact I have correctly set up to receive zaps. Thanks in advance.

I really appriciate that the pictures were audio described when I went to upload a picutre. It appears that this feature at least is voicover campatible. way to go Damus.

I have to say I lke the fact that one can now upload or take a pic and put on one’s Damus profile. That is a very good improvement.

Hello world this is a test post. I’m totally blind and I am trying at Damus and seeing if blind and visually impaired people like myself can use this first NOSTR client for IOS devices.
