lol there's yet more vibrating shoes, or in this case, things to attach to your shoes to make them vibrate. They claim it'll be a navigational aid.
What is it about these people that make them think us blind people really want vibrating shoes.

@GreenSkyOverMe It makes no sense at all.

The other day I decided to google Skibidi Toilet to see what the hell it is. I still don't understand it after reading the Wikipedia article. Beings with toilets for heads fighting other beings with electrical appliances for heads or something. Fuck knows.
Also I watched a video of it,. To me it was just a horrible song that says "skibidi" in there somewhere. I assume the audio's the same in every single one.

Just came across an image of a book on Facebook about the Minimoog, which is what I was able to glean from my iPhone's on-device image recognition.
Facebook's server-side image recognition on the other hand told me that it "May be an image of oat biscuits and text".

@Akki yeah. Sadly I never told him. I shook his hand and asked in when the audiobook of his autobiography was coming out.

@Akki That would've been great wouldn't it?
Congratulations, you opened up the 2000th bottle of oestrogel! For that, you have the privilege to meet Stephen Fry.
Only 2 tickets per entry djpodijdpipjoaspoapsiopjsjpsj always read the label.

10 years ago today I met Stephen Fry.

Got my phone updating to iOS 18.

I'm not sure that bundling the stock app settings pages in with the third party ones is a good idea.

The VoiceOver tutorial is fantastic. It gives you just enough info to get going. I would've added info about the split tap gesture though.

I love that I can finally replace the camera button on the lock screen with something I will actually use. I've got it set to start recording with Just Press record.

More importantly for me, the calculator app finally has a percent button and unit conversions, which were the only things I used PCalc for. Yes Siri can do those but I don't want to be always yelling at my phone.
With that said, you don't get any feedback when entering digits with direct touch typing mode. I have VO set to read characters and words and I get nothing.

When you have to work out that A$$ (read by Eloquence as Australian dollar dollar) means ass.
Just write ass for Christ's sake.

They really should be a separate field for hashtags so if you want to tag your post with a billion of them, screen reader users don't have to sit through every bloody one of them to find out that the basic image description wasn't worth all that after all.

@onepict Random tangent, Roddy McDowall's reading of Craig Shaw Gardiner's novelisation of the 1989 Batman film is well worth listening to.

I've been reading one of Penelope Lively's novels aimed at children called A Stitch In Time. I love how it seems more adult than a lot of children's books. This probably explains why I found The Ghost Of Thomas Kemp (her most famous one) hard-going when I was little.

My wife has just shown me a video claiming that at least some Americans think that chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
It has to be staged.

I love Toblerone but it bloody hurts to break chunks off.

Watched a 5 minute video about a book where the author was mentioned but the book itself was only ever referred to as "this book". The only place where the title was in a format I can access was in the video description, so I might as well have just read an article about this book.

@BorrisInABox it's all a marginal conspiracy.
