#Blind watch wearers, What are you wearing? Would prefer no talking watches. Want something that allows me to tell time tactilely or via braille. Do not want something digital or that connects to my phone. All thoughts welcome.
I'm currently wearing an Apple Watch (yes, I know that's not what you're looking for) mostly because it's alarm is about the only thing that wakes me up anymore, and it has haptic vibrations for quietly telling time.
I also have two Tissot Silen-T watches, neither of which are currently fully functional, a Bradley timepiece, a Wenger braille watch, and a couple of cheap Seiko braille watches. If it worked right, and if I didn't use my Apple watch, I'd probably go back to my Tissot. Too bad they're not made anymore, and I don't know where to get them fixed, if you even can anymore.
@BorrisInABox all good. I appreciate the reply in any case. I have an Apple Watch and have every intention of either selling it or giving it to a family member who wants it. I do everything on my phone, I donβt use the workout functions, iβm sick and tired of having yet another digital thing which nags me every time something inconsequential demands my attention when it shouldnβt, and I can never get haptic time to activate reliably without in setting voiceover off which defeats the whole purpose. I had a Bradley Timepiece and liked it, but unfortunately the magnetic balls would invariably stop magnetizing to whatever was holding them at the correct positions so gave up on that. other than the watch which is now unavailable, did you find any of the others which you listed to be a pleasant wearing experience?

A company that is worth a billion, let alone a trillion, that doesnβt pay enough that ALL employees can afford houses, university education for children, have daycare for employees, great health insurance & sick leave, good holiday time, is not successful but exploitive. Time to shame the CEOs, not revere them.

Just discovered part of my HRT has been discontinued due to an AI note taking error. Gynae did not say discontinue, and I have letters to prove it.
One thing that bothers me a little bit: Github's 2FA prompt automatically accepts it once you enter 6 digits, instead of waiting for you to press Enter.
Delta Chat is not for the nerds, it is not so well known because it doesn't have some rich guy or millions of dollars behind and is not so heavily marketed
in Cuba Signal doesn't work at all, the SMS never arrives, similar happened in Iran, common non-nerd people manage to use Delta Chat there
@arcanechat @Zeitzeuge_64 I didn't try it, maybe I should, but I am not very convinced by the idea of doing messaging with special things like polls via email. For me email is for emails and I'd rather use a protocol which is designed for messaging like #matrix or #xmmp.
I know XMPP has problems with fragmentation and Matrix seems to be centered a bit too much around synapse (definitely improving), does not allow me to delete accounts (test accounts!!) and has some other imperfections.
@cameo007 that is a misconception! it uses SMTP+IMAP protocols but it is not email, everything is end-to-end encrypted! you can give it a try, there is a contact invite link at arcanechat.me/#contact if you want to test it with someone
> For me email is for emails and I'd rather use a protocol which is designed for messaging like #matrix or #xmmp
for the record, fun fact: while in xmpp clients encryption can downgrade in your existing chats at any point, in Delta Chat encryption of chats can never downgrade or the key change (ex. by malicious server trying to do MITM)
the "but email!?" is a common prejudice many people have until they actually try the app
