the day it got leaked I tried it and I can verify that it works. They probably fixed it already I'm guessing

hey that's neat! thank you for your time!

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

the fediverse largely prides itself on no tracking, in fact in the past instances that used cloudflare have been harshly criticised.

This is against the fediverse's core values

what if one wants accounts on say, 3 mastodon servers (one personal, one public, one backup, this is entirely reasonable, but many have more reasons for making separate accounts) and then wants a separate Lemmy account or two, because they prefer the Lemmy interface for specifically that. Or maybe someone wants to separate their work and personal life in addition. Or! They're a minority and have specific reasons to separate their accounts. Or they're an artist and want a separate art account

and then other fediverse software comes along that interacts completely differently than content aggregation (Lemmy) or microblogging (mastodon etc). Neither federates properly yet and wont for a while, so guess what, another account

you see how this doesn't work? it has nothing to do with amassing wealth or voting manipulation as this is a problem across fedi (and voting isnt even a thing outside of Lemmy etc) and more to do with accessibility There are valid reasons to have several accounts to the fediverse, and it goes against the spirit of the fediverse to stop that.

browser fingerprinting is inherently bad for privacy and would require scripts that nobody wants to run

not to mention the GDPR issues with servers having that amount of data

most of my friends (and me myself) have far more than 3 accounts. Many instances I've been on have died, leading to me having to move and my old account on dead instances still being in databases. That said, even without that, I have far more than 3 active accounts

sure we dont have hundreds or thousands like spammers would but putting an arbetrary number on "amount of accounts an IP can have" is against what the fediverse is

that explains a lot, thank you!

whats connected to that steamdeck that allows them to draw

its not that simple. pushing a full cart could start the pain at which point you're just fucked, pushing the empty cart back might really just be too much after that

eh, ddg is equally bad with it insisting it knows better than me what my query is and "fixing" it, leaving me to have to either fix it or click a link telling it "yes I really did want to search for that and not what you assumed"

DDG keeps changing my search query because its "not returning a lot of results" or because it thinks I typo'd and it is infuriating to me, sometimes it doesnt even inform me that it did, not even giving me a link to click to get to my actual search query

'also noticed that it got worse around the same time google did

given how often disabled people are yelled at for using disabled parking spots, I would not be as optimistic that we'd not be included

As for how they were able to use it, maybe using it for a little bit is okay but it starts physically hurting after a while leading to them not being able to put it back, that has happened to me before. Or maybe the return cart area is a bit up a hill or otherwise inaccessible

yes, using spectacle I imagine

I use different software, apparently that matters
