Yay (self.Blind)

Who’s excited for iOS 14 tomorrow?
Winnmark 5 points 2y ago
Not me. Apple can go die in a hole.

Why do you feel that way?

* Apple is extraordinarily arrogant
* They force down their walled garden ideology down your throat whether you like it or not
* They punish their customers for using the products the, quote unquote, wrong way.
* They constantly engage in anti-consumer practices
* They play favoritism at an unbelievably high rate

Do you use android then?

Excuse me, but I like to drink my lavender earl grey tea with milk in a mason jar with a handle. And yes, I'm from Seattle. I'm such a hipster I read my Bible by candle light.
But yeah, I'm only rocking Pixel phones, rooted of course.

Apple is like the conservative party of Tech that only people that are truly ignorant blindly defend.

I find it funny that people feel that atached to a company. My liking for apple comes exclusively from the accessibility features. If other company did similar efforts in this subject I would try their stuff.
ukifrit 1 points 2y ago
you just described how capitalism works.
Winnmark 1 points 2y ago
I don't see what you mean.
Let's take the first point, for example. not every company out there is exceedingly arrogant.

As a blind user, I don't care much since I can no longer enjoy technology like I once could, but as a developer I'm excited about the improvements brought by Swift 5.3 and SwiftUI 2.0 that are finally coming out. While I've had access to these improvements ever since WWDC I only have production hardware to test on, so I haven't tried iOS 14 or Xcode 12 yet.,

Is that the one where they deleted blacklist and master/slave terminology?
Fridux 2 points 2y ago
You mean like in the $1 which is the main component of Android?
Winnmark -6 points 2y ago
Oh was it Linux? My bad.
Well it still pisses me off. Stupid PC culture taking a dump on everything.

No, it's not just Linux. A lot of companies and projects are joining the neutral language movement; I was just pointing out that Apple wasn't alone in this.

Me! The image recognition and text recognition sounds great.
I wonder if it will work in dystopia.

I’m excited for that too
bradley22 1 points 2y ago
It sounds like it could be great.
Odd-Night-2604 [OP] 1 points 2y ago
Yes!!! I just did a back up of my information, so if anything goes wrong I don’t lose it all
bradley22 1 points 2y ago
awesome!

I want to be excited for iOS 14 and macOS Bigsur but I feel like I can’t because I won’t be able to see the new changes and stuff.
bradley22 1 points 2y ago
But you can use the new voiceover features and wigets. We cant' see the stuff but we can use some features which is better than nothing.
ukifrit 2 points 2y ago
most of the new stuff you can use without sight. I don't know of anything I can't do on iOS 14. I don't get 'the point of the first comment.
bradley22 1 points 2y ago
Maybe the person is VI instead of completely blind?
ukifrit 1 points 2y ago
it makes even less sense then.
CosmicBunny97 2 points 2y ago
That's true. I'm honestly unsure what new VoiceOver features there will be.
bradley22 2 points 2y ago
Take a look on applevis.com there's a lot of talk about the Voiceover features there.
bjayernaeiy 1 points 2y ago
I've already been on IOS 14 beta since August. It's great!
