Clarissa: I'm back on Sero!

Hi all. Just wanted to say I'm back on Sero after a looooooong time away. I've been doing online surveys and getting PayPal money from that. I just thought I'd come back to this service and I had enough money in PayPal to pay for it. I don't know how many people are still using this service that were here when I was on last, and there are lots of accessible apps on the iPhone where blind people can communicate with each other. I've been using an iPhone now since 2019 and have used lots of these other apps in the last few years. But the simplicity of Sero and the memories I had using this service brought me back to it.

Welcome back. I hope the service is with us for a long time. Some things are just easier here.

I mean, I'll admit, it's mostly just the video-described stuff here; except for the user's area, for which there's a convenient link on the home page, the forums are mostly unused nowadays. And the whole service, with its mid-2000s vibes, is a bit of a ghost town.

I'm glad it's here, I guess, but I suspect nostalgia is doing a lot of the talking there. They could throw out everything but the forums, voice chat and video content, and I'd still pay for it. Maybe they should just do that.

Clarissa: Re: I'm back on Sero!

Yeah, I just randomly thought of re-subscribing for whatever reason. The forums seem really sparce compared to when I was last here. I remember when there were lots of forums and people chatting about all sorts of things. Now we only have about twelve or thirteen.

I didn't join up when Sero first came out, I was primarily concerned with System Access to Go, and the Freedom Box when that was the way to access the precursor service to SAMNet. I guess I just thought I was too cool for it, which meant that I missed out. I didn't really try it, or sign up, until much later, more out of completism than anything, because I bought a standalone SA licence.

As said, I think nostalgia is doing most of the work here, but the described movies and TV series do help.

Welcome back Clarissa! I haven't talked to you since you were a young teenager. I am glad the aliens released you. Hahahahahahahah!

Clarissa: Re: I'm back on Sero!

Wow, that was a very long time ago! Although I think I was in my early twenties then.

Hello, it’s nice to meet you, I am using a iPhone and iPad. I have been using them for years. I also glad to have found this app. Someday, I will get the system on my laptop.

I switched to a Pixel for Christmas in 2024 and love it.

Zoraida Morrison: Re: I'm back on Sero!

What is a Pixel?

Date:

Richard Wells: Re: I'm back on Sero!

It is an Android phone.

Date:

Richard Wells: Re: I'm back on Sero!

To write with more clarity, a Pixel is an Android Cell phone.

Date:

tina Sohl: Re: I'm back on Sero!

They're the phones made by Google. They run android.

Tisha: Re: I'm back on Sero!

Is it easier to work with a Pixel?

Date:

Zoraida Morrison: Re: I'm back on Sero!

Richard, thank you for explaining what a Pixel is. Someone asked if it is easy to work with, I will rephrase the question and ask, is it fully accessible to someone who is totally blind? Or is it at least accessible enough to be useful to a totally blind person?

Date:

Richard Wells: Re: I'm back on Sero!

All of the latest Android accessibility features such as Talk Back are on this device. It should work as well as all other Android phones and tablets.

Date:

tina Sohl: Re: I'm back on Sero!

It is. I'm totally blind and use mine. Anyone who has questions feel free to email me privately.

trulytechie: Re: I'm back on Sero!

Hello, I was just curious. Is it terribly hard to learn how to use the Pixel phone? I have been told that is sort of similar to using an iPhone. Is this true?

Welcome back to Sero!

Richard Wells: Re: I'm back on Sero!

By the way Clarissa, lest you think I am some kind of a weird stalker, our reasons for communications would have been due to my position back when you were first here in Quality Assurance. The alien reference has to do with an inside joke that all teenagers are abducted and replaced with aliens due to their strange behavior.

Sebby: Re: I'm back on Sero!

Well, of course, if you're not already, you can use Sero on your iPhone. They're determined not to update the app for long periods, but it still works (mostly) and supports the important features, like the forums and media playback. This is the way I drop in to Sero most of the time. The iPhone's a wonder, really.

Tisha: Re: I'm back on Sero!

The app is also how I make most of my changes. For example, I go under My Account. Once there we’re given various options. One of the options is changing your username. next, there is also the option for updating your account information such as, an address, email address or phone number. I hope this was helpful to you Clarissa.

Tisha: Re: I'm back on Sero!

You can also use the app on your iPad too I forgotten to mention that before
