Monal - XMPP Chatting
There has never been a better time to get into XMPP, a free public chat network no one controls or owns. Monal is a fast and user friendly way to use XMPP. Just download the app, login or register and you are ready to chat in minutes.App Store

Okay y'all, I need to understand this. So someone said that a Pixel 8 is faster than an iPhone 15. Can someone help me understand why someone would say such a thing? The iPhone 15 has a much better SOC than even the Pixel 9, and Google has said that they aren't pushing for benchmarks. This person is using a screen reader, TalkBack and VoiceOver. Meanwhile, to me, the Pixel 8 feels even slower than my iPhone SE 2020, and the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. Like I guess it could be their way of coping with Android, but I mean there are people who genuinely like it. And yes, it has LLM image descriptions now, so I mean there are people that will put up with it just for that feature. But, meh, sometimes people are unknowable.

Reminder that the original Metatext third party app is no longer being maintained, as its lead developer had to step back due to health issues.
However, there is a new version of Metatext run by different people called Feditext which is currently in public beta testing. You can follow the official Feditext account at:
➡️ @Feditext
If you would like to join the public beta testing, it's on Apple TestFlight. There are more instructions here:
So I have StraightTalk. And here lately, I've been getting 0 to 1 bar of phone signal. Calls go to Voicemail without me even getting a ring, all that. So I turn on and off Airplane mode, all that. This is with my iPhone SE 2020. If I upgrade to the new iPhone 16, do y'all think that would improve?
The attached picture can be improved, a bit outdated.
For chat, Matrix and XMPP clients (e.g Element and Monal) can be used.
Libre Translate can replace Google Translate.
2FAS Auth is a nice project for OTP codes.
Strongbox is nice to store passwords.
PeerTube is a real YouTube alternative instead of YouTube facades.
And Yandex is an efficient search engine.

Currently I try to avoid #ios, because it's a #GoldenPrison. I know it is hard to achieve discoverability, but making a client that "phone home" to quicksy.im telling "I am number xyz" feels like a trick, a shortcut. But I couldn't find any other way.

Edit: The suggestion for BookPlayer was great, it's working so well for me, thank you!
Anyone have a favorite iOS app for listening to MP3s of audiobooks?
Mostly what it needs is the ability to save my place when I close the app. Bookmarks would be a bonus but aren't necessary.
(Boosts welcome!) :)
Okay, so I just have to rant a little. So Apple has been doing some pretty shitty stuff regarding developers and money lately. They act like they're above the law. And sure, they'll gladly follow it for Russia and other places where they're asked to take apps like VPN's off the App Store. But in the EU where they're being asked to open some stuff up and give developers and users freedom? They just continue to kick and scream all the way. And I sit here, with a Pixel 8, one of the newest, supposedly best phones there is, and I hate using it. I love my years old iPhone SE 2020, much more than a year old slightly high end phone. And yep, it's all about accessibility for me. And y'all know I'll change my mind when I'm presented with something better. I mean, I sit at work all day and use Linux and barely even notice anymore. But give me an Android, and TalkBack drives me crazy.
Like, we have Braille Screen Input on Android. We even have reading and selection commands on the TalkBack Braille Keyboard. But when you go to use it, you always have to turn the phone to where the USB C port is facing left. Now, I know, that's not terrible, but it's something that turns me off a lot. And I've told Google accessibility, and I've talked about it ever since it came out, but it's still how things work. And it just slows me down. It's pointless, and they could easily just flip it around.
Now, there is an option to flip the *dots* of the Braille Keyboard, but that doesn't flip the commands. So, when you swipe right for a space, it actually backspaces.
Now, I do need to give Commentary Screen reader more of a chance, and see if they have an extention that'll send a screenshot to AI to be described. And if they don't, I'm sure there's an HPPT client for LUA, so one can be scripted I'm sure. But Commentary doesn't even *have* Braille support.
Meh, everything is a mess. And here I am about to give Apple yet more money in a month, because I do want a new phone, and I don't feel like getting a new Samsung, just to be disappointed. Again. With Android.
#iOS is there really no way to import an .ics calendar event file from the Files app to the Calendar app?
I can open it and get a preview, but I see no way to import it.

New thing in iOS 18 VoiceOver for apps and pages that abuse announcements and live regions.
Live Region & Announcement Rotor Item, A rotor item is available to control whether apps and webpages can make announcements and live region updates.

Okay y'all, iOS 18 has something that I think is super useful! So, you know how when using Hints, you hear Double Tap to open? All that? Well if you have Hints turned on in VoiceOver when using Braille Screen Input's command mode, you get "Tap dots 3-6 to open". Huge thanks to the Apple accessibility team! This is going to help new users a lot, with contextual hints based on input method!
