@npub1h9g…fk3l Dictate to Aiko.

Should I swap the iOS versions on my phones so that my 15 pro max gets 18 public beta, and my 13 stays on 17? It seems to be pretty good, but I still use the 15 most of the time. I've noticed occasional sluggishness which seems to get better with every beta, and the 13 is a couple years old now. Any really annoying bugs I should know about?

@npub1wxf…8z6u What are you using for an accessible mobile experience?

Sometimes I like Reddit. Sometimes I get into two arguments in one day about whether (1) it’s okay to wear sweatpants in a first date to weed out the women that will make a fuss about it, and (2) men should never cry in front of women.
I have more upvotes on my side of the argument than the dissenters, but I am still slowly losing brain cells, so it’s time to close that section of the internet for today.

@npub1h9g…fk3l There's not a "view links" option in the rotor?

@npub1h9g…fk3l I find that unfortunate as well. You basically have to create a new account on the same instance and then do the migration process as though you're moving instances. At least that's my understanding.

@npub1h9g…fk3l Other than followers only, and mentioned people only, I don't think there is.

Me: Siri, what's the distance from Manila to Singapore?
Siri: I'm not sure how far it is from Singapore to Manila ... Arkansas.

@npub1h9g…fk3l I dislike Canadian French. It doesn't sound nice compared to proper French.

@npub1h9g…fk3l Elle. It's perfect as is.

@npub1h9g…fk3l Where does Elle come from, and is that pronounced "Ellie", or "El"? There's no consensus.

Mastodon: Where you can ask the @npub1ks7…eg5u account to include more detail in their alt text and it actually happens. Sometimes, the internet is genuinely a really cool place, and I'm so glad to be part of the little corners where good things are happening.

@npub1wxf…8z6u Haha. On Linux this would really be that easy. On Windows ... not so much.

Do we have anyone in the blind android world with a One Plus 12 or 12R? I really want to know if either of them run Eloquence. I have a suspicion that the 12R might run it and the 12 will not, because the 12R is one chip generation behind. But it could be disabled in software on Samsung/Google's end, in which case it should still run on all their phones.

I wonder when invitations got disabled on this instance. Does that mean we're actually closed to new people? I guess I should decide on a good open instance that doesn't have a specific topical theme where I can send new Mastodonians.

@npub1svs…p66u I still have and use the beta despite buying the app, but it's constantly nagging me about a new version. Is there some way way to dismiss this alert or is the beta being phased out? It doesn't seem like I can dismiss it with VoiceOver.
