Georgiana Brummell<p>I am considering learning to program, not as a career but for myself. I have been wanting to do this for a long time but never really started. One thing I do know is that I like procedural languages as opposed to object-oriented ones. I am strongly considering QuickBASIC 4.5 or 7.1, and Turbo Pascal 6.0, but I don't know which to choose as a beginner. I know there are flavours of these that can work with Windows XP and 7, and maybe, one day, I will try them in their 32-bit varients. But for now, I am focusing on the DOS ones,since they are probably easier to learn and use. Is there anything I should know as a totally blind programmer? If I did choose to switch to a Windows varient of one of these languages, how difficult would the transition be?</p><p>If it helps, these are the sorts of programs I use in Windows.</p><p>Notepad Classic, Jarte (can simply use Edit or Wordperfect 5.1, or MS Word 5.5, but simple editor may be good for project)</p><p>MPCHC (mp3 player, I don't mind a simpler one)</p><p>Virtual Recorder (simple mp3 recorder/may be difficult in DOS)</p><p>Thunderbird 102 (most likely too advanced for a beginner)</p><p>TweeseCake, TWBlue (for Mastodon/there is already a DOStodon, but don't know if it's accessible)</p><p>Reddit for Blind, Luna for Reddit</p><p>Cook Timer (simple timers exist, but this may be good to create as a beginner project)</p><p>Openbook, Kurzweil 1000 (ocr and pdf converter, too advanced for beginner)</p><p>various audio and text-based games</p><p>#16-bit #32-bit <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BASIC</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/DOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DOS</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/QuickBASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QuickBASIC</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/TurboPascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TurboPascal</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/Windows7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows7</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/WindowsXP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowsXP</span></a></p>

For those who don't know the size of the problem:

In 2006 I bought a new [entry level] Computer with 256 MB of RAM and a single-core P4 Celeron with 2,8 GHz.

And now imagine that some folks have to use #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, #Telegram, #Signal, #WhatApp, #WeChat, #QQ and #LineMessenger at the same time on their machine, and you can imagine that this will make entry-level desktops already scream harder than if someone were to loop the Lost Coast benchmark on them...

Everywhere else we'd not accept such a #bloatware IRL.

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps. My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal [¹](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114234551915193036) [²](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114935952643402592), #Telegram, #Discord [³](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114865723904157014), #WhatsApp [⁴](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114873895410403238), #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside: - *WHY* is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite? - *WHY* does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU each of them can?? This problem ain't new and *already got [solved for corporate social media](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114862619013462466) ages ago!* (Not to mention actually good messengers!) - And no, [bridges](https://toots.ch/@dalai/114862754556459439) *[don't](https://swecyb.com/@troed/114862774972645542) count*! - I mean `API 0` - [style](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685423773959519) access because obviously [none of the platforms](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685414638522984) will *allow, endorse or support such an endeavour* and [*actively fight the developers and users*](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685441496803574) ! So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim@fosstodon.org / #Gajim or @pidgin@fosstodon.org / #Pidgin *for garbage platforms!* - Cuz back in the day we had *way worse messengers* yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single *"phat" client*! - Can we please get that back? #api0 #Enshittification

@Linkshaender I couldn't find anyplace where it was legal to get closer to anyone's field, sadly. But I found the right area because of the folks who run this feed store, who are also in the market for 'an old XP desktop computer: doesn't have to work' 💞

The store was guarded by a dog named Lily who I sadly did not get a photo of, but I did get to scritch.
