This truly made me laugh! In the Applevis discussion about the iOS 18.4 release, applevis.com/blog/apple-releas…, someone posted the following comment:

"I asked Siri how can I stop VO from saying button. She said "from stopping voiceover saying button, turn off voiceover". Nuts."
Even if it's no longer reproducible, it's an awesome joke!

Discovered that #libadwaita apps can enable the convenience "What's New" button in their About dialog to show release notes: gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/l…

Some #GNOME apps already use it: stable releases of Calendar, Shortwave, Showtime, Papers, System Monitor, Decibels, Warp, etc.

I've now filed RFEs for this in Tuba, Epiphany, Contacts, Fractal, Secrets, Warehouse, Maps, Apostrophe, Snapshot, File Roller, etc.

Ideally I'd want to suggest it in Ptyxis, Text Editor, Builder, Loupe & Pika…

@mks_h I think it's fine to request features, but reporting something like this and pointing at all of the other apps in the issue gives the impression that you're:

a) Implying there's some deficiency in the app when in reality it's just a minor difference.
b) You're trying to pressure them into adding it in order to be in line with other apps.

That may not be the intention, but that's how it comes across to others. Speaking as an app developer, it doesn't feel nice to be pressured into more work when you're barely keeping up with what you already want to do.

@brainblasted @mks_h Oh, I see your point now about the apps list. For the record, I didn't mean it as pressure, but as reference implementations that can be used as examples / tried out for comparison.

From my own experience with Calendar it wasn't clear why I wasn't seeing it there; therefore I took great care in testing each app on the list to be *sure* whether it did or did not have the feature in practice (with stable versions), I didn't want to mistakenly report if they already had it.

If you want to listen to some guy demo Siri and talk about TTS for four minutes and eleven seconds, here you go lmao.

I talk about Siri's new TTS improvements in iOS 18.4, and try unsuccessfully to get info about places in California. Amazingly, I have much better luck with getting answers about machine learning and what it's used for. What a time to be alive, or something.

@Peiress Oh yeah I know what you're talking about. Wonder if the voice actor who recorded the data for this is precluded from doing any more work because her voice would be recognizable now. I haven't heard her on anything other than Siri and Apple adjacent things. Funnily enough, I did hear the VO artist who did Siri's TTS when iOS 7 was released in a AAA commercial.

Qualcomm's 6G blueprint—Evolving the network, revolutionizing the experience
"...Where 5G relied heavily on simulation and statistical modeling, 6G will be built and optimized using real-time, high-fidelity digital twins. Qualcomm’s vision involves creating precise, 3D models of the network and physical environment—tools that go far beyond planning exercises to become part of the network’s operational fabric. "
