#Introduction #Reintroduction Hi! I'm Marco, accessibility veteran and former employee at Mozilla and Freedom Scientific. I'm retired now and enjoy every minute of it. I just moved instances and thought I'd reintroduce myself. I was born in 1973, and live in Hamburg, Germany. German is my primary language, with English a close second. I'm blind from birth. I'm also the owner of two cats, a previous guide dog owner, and able cane user. ;-) Also, I enjoy music, audio books, mostly in the fantasy and science fiction genres. Podcast listening and occasional creation are also things I enjoy. Some sports and swimming, too. I have a life partner, am bisexual, and also diagnosed with autism at the age of 46. So yeah, quite a package here.

Nowadays, I enjoy talking about tech, however I refrain from talking about my former work if possible. I'm totally anchored in the Apple eco system, with devices such as an iPhone, iPad, and one or two Macs in my household. Oh and yeah an Apple Watch, too.

OK, enough for now. If there are questions, feel free to ask.

@menelion No, I don't. I still have my old one up, but it hasn't seen a new episode since mid 2022. It was more of the same that I had done during my work, and no longer felt right. So I stopped publishing. I will be part of the podcast team at my local blindness organization starting on Monday, and may do a new podcast some time in the future, but so far have no concept or idea what exactly I would want to talk about. So nothing current to report.

not a cane-namer myself, to be honest.
I do name our raspberry pi's based on what they do: When we needed a way of doing audiobooks via alexa without paying for an audible subscription it was \\buggeraudible.local. When I wanted a system to capture audio tapes, I could use playthattape.local. And digital TV literally comes through on tv.local.

But naming things generally is a no no here. The laptop is just the laptop
