Hi Mary, yes you and quite a few others have moved over there already. I think I counted, and there has been at least 15 people that have moved over there. Anybody wishing to still move over there can be more than welcomed. As we can have an unlimited membership because of when our group was cre

Re: Some Comments from Moderator Mark

There’s also an existing list for blind Apple products. All you have to do is subscribe to blind apples all one word at groups.io. I think a lot of people have moved there from the original Google list, because of Google‘s ridiculous behavior. That means no need to set up anything new or screw arou

Re: Some Comments from Moderator Mark

Mailman3 and Sympa are the two options that seem to be attracting community issues in the communities I frequent. The difficulty with Discourse (and this may have changed) is that it used to treat the entire forum as though it were a single mailing list. You couldn’t subscribe to one subforum o

Re: Some Comments from Moderator Mark

I was mistaken: the free plan gives you just 100 members. This was a relatively recent change and previous groups got off with their existing plans. Details of the new structure are here, but basically it's about $18.33 per month, if paid yearly, for a minimum of 500 members, and there's support

Re: Thunderbird and VoiceOver.

Thunderbird certainly works, but not being a "native" app, is noticeably quite clunky and web-like. I wouldn't use it every day but it's certainly doable and accessible. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list. If you have any questions or concer

Thunderbird and VoiceOver.

Hi! Is anyone here using thunderbird on the Mac? I have just downloaded it and find that menus are not working properly. I guess this is the latest version but is thunderbird working or somewhat working or not? Best. /A -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Vision

Re: Some Comments from Moderator Mark

For $10 US per month (perhaps even $5 US per month), you could rent a Linux virtual server, install mailing list server software on it, configure everything appropriately, and run as many mailing lists as resources allow. Prices in Euro are similar if you prefer a European hosting provider. I d

Hi, Not yet running Sequoia, but I’ve also found the calendar very hard to use. Generally, I just create my appointments using dictation on my phone, or, like Jessica, the Add to Calendar feature if there is one. Cheers, Donna > On Jan 9, 2025, at 8:15 AM, Jessica Moss wrote: > > It’s not

It’s not just you. I’ve honestly found the calendar app vary clunky to work with for quite some time, and can’t remember when I first noticed this. I’ve noticed for a while now that doing simple things like selecting the dates I want is more of a pain in the butt than it used to be, more often

Native Calendar App w/ Sequoia OS

Is it just me, or is it difficult to use the calendar app on Mac/Sequoia? It is sluggish and entering an event title often causes it to stop completely. I used to be able to type very simple statements like “dinner thursday at 6 PM” and it would create the event just from that. Comments? Exper

I certainly agree that groups.io is much truer to the spirit of the traditional mailing list than Google Groups has been for a long time now. But on the other hand, GG is free no matter how large your group, whereas groups.io has an insanely unrealistic pricing structure that rules out many (mos

That could be anything at this point. Google has been less than forthcoming as to the algorithm they use with their so-called AI service. Btw, groups.io has a bit better service and is definitely far more accessible for us blind types. :) -Eric > On Jan 6, 2025, at 3:46 P
