They/Them
I’ve tried audiobooks but it seems that - as silly as it sounds - I need closed captions with those
a combination of listening and reading with speeds synced up for me (like CC on video content) would work best, and most options for that are subscription based, or require expensive tech last I checked
I’ll check the BBC sounds out tomorrow though, I appreciate the help
hrm yea I don’t really like that take. I get the point but also equating their experience to everyone else is just, not it. It just doesnt work like that for many, even those with the exact same challenges
I’ve tried reading, so often. I want to be able to, even it just doesn’t work for me. And believe me I’ve tried everything
anyway thanks for quoting the relevant sections of the article for me! That was helpful
Thanks for the quote, does the author provide any solution to that or acknowledge that some people simply cannot because if not it feels like a “I can do it with my disabilities so you can too!”
not to mention crappy AI articles being an issue nowadays
the website makes my phone lag
I’m not going to wait for 10 seconds before it scrolls way past where I was reading
Also does this article account for people with (mental, physical or learning) disabilities who cannot read or have more difficulty doing so? You can tell me to read all you want but if the text isnt accessible I simply cant read long texts, I have dyslexia, ADHD (focus issues) and my eyes physically shake leading to me skipping over entire paragraphs unless there’s enough white space between the lines
That is not even to mention people with intelectual disabities or the language barriers that might cause this to not be readable
Yes I have trauma regarding reading but maybe consider there’s more to it than that OP
All that is to say, things arent as simple as “you are the audience, read it”
maybe the article is better but idk cause its inaccessible for me for various reasons including “my phone is not powerful enough to read this article”. I see some form of irony there, considering class was mentioned
[narrator voice: it wasn’t “just as easy as” nor did “everything work great”]
how are you only getting 1% battery drain overnight? my pixel 7 w grapheneos drains 10% overnight and battery saver makes it worse somehow
I would like to know your secrets
yes, using spectacle I imagine
I use different software, apparently that matters
I will be forced to, but x11 is no longer being developed, so its not very secure to do so
additionally, Wayland is going to be default on kde, and Im not sure if that means that it’ll be default for me too if I update
not to mention that with it default on KDE, I’ll be running into more and more bugs that just, will not be fixed, because “use Wayland” will be the new response to bug reports (GNOME actively does this with a critical GTK4/libadwaita bug)
the point is, Wayland is being rushed and was never ready for default
still frustrating as all hell, these programs just worked on x11
also Synergy/Barrier/etc dont work yet and would need “non standard” protocols. Pretty critical for me
I am an enduser and I just expect things to work, but one of the most critical things of my setup wont
sighh, that sucks
does this go for pretty much all programs, like say an email client too? or is there a limit to this?
wait so you’re telling me I’m gonna be forced to use spectacle on wayland if I use KDE?
I’m told screenshots now work on wayland. The idea was that spectacle would not have worked on wayland because of how locked down it is
that’s something
I’ve heard that synergy/barrier/etc doesn’t work though and that is critical for my daily workflow so I won’t be switching until it is supported
oh I see you’re that kinda person
No means no
can you not do this? lets keep this disingenuous behavior over on reddit
no its not, consent is important
I do not consent to having my bodily waste be enjoyed by my toilet
Every time I learn more about what Wayland can’t do, I learn of even more critical stuff that doesn’t work
no screenshots? really? who approved this trashfire as default. That’s about as ridiculous as no global hotkeys
hey that’s neat! thank you for your time!
