i’m going to write a longer blog post about this, but There’s an underlying current of capitalism brain within this article that manages to blame poor blind people. It’s just shy of calling those that expressed dissatisfaction entitled. Of course I think that independent developers should get compensated. This article though, goes beyond that premise. In short, this article unironically encapsulates the modern viewpoint of the blind community in one post and amplifies why our community really, really, needs to examine more intersectionality and especially class consciousness as opposed to just blindness issues. For me, it just reinforced the notion I have that blind people Across countries really don’t like poor blind people and has the constant common ableist mentality among our community that breadcrumbs are enough, and we shouldn’t ask for more or criticize anything because we get use out of the thing we’re criticizing. For example, I’m pretty sure that there wasn’t a horde of blind people emailing the developers 24 hours a day. I suspect the author forgot that timezones exist and that there are other blind people across the world that are emailing at different times of the day and night. I found myself rolling my eyes at the very surface level arguments this article was proposing as a reply to the backlash.

One of the reasons why #Apple is more successful than many #Android OEM’s is due to their phenomenal customer service & support for devices years after launching them.

I wish #Google had that level of support, as the latter often abandons projects (which is very frustrating).

Please define "best".

Anyway #Tusky, but also #Fedilab, imho.

Can someone recommend the best Android Mastodon client?

This is very, very bad for Google. They can thank the tangerine tyrant they bent the knee to.

Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android

So half of all #Android phones & apps may get slower in the future‽ On the bright side, this may convince people to finally upgrade their OS.

Can anyone recommend an app for Android for raising the volume during phone calls? Not the ringing, the talking during the calls.

Thanks!

🇧🇷🇵🇹 Ontem, ao editar a página sobre #XMPP no Lemmy, procurando por mais aplicativos clientes para indicar, acabei descobrindo a página deste projeto denominado #Libervia, que ainda não conheço. Fui lendo, até passar pela seção sobre como instalar, seja em GNU/Linux, em Docker, em #Android... :blobcatstop: 🤐 Leia a imagem. "Não sei por que" talvez o nome que deram a esse aplicativo possa repercutir na língua de Camões... :thinkhappy:
