  • It wasn’t obvious, plenty of people simply say that the left doesn’t vote despite the fact they’re some of the most engaged voters out there.

    You would think that courting the most dedicated voting demographic on your side of the aisle would be a positive if they weren’t already mostly voting for you anyway, but I’m not the kind of brilliant political machine that can lose elections to Trump twice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯



  • Belly rub hack: if your cat is being annoying and trying to get at something they’re not supposed to, it’s really easy to get away with grabbing and rubbing/jiggling their primordial pouch. The curiosity/naughtiness usually outweighs the flee/attack desire for much longer.

    Not the exact same as a belly rub on their back of course, but I’VE GOT YOUR BELLY! I’VE GOT YOUR BELLY!!












  • I don’t know if this is still the case, but I know years back iPhones were preferred by a lot of blind people just in terms of accessibility. Digging through accessibility settings, it looks like you can use Voice Control to tell it to open Lemmy, and VoiceOver to read all the text on the screen without touching it. I don’t know about the example you added to your OP, adding phrases it would need to interpret seems more like a Siri thing (which I don’t use), so I don’t know how well that plays with Voice Control.

    I wouldn’t rush out to buy anything unless some Android people confirm it’s not doable. Apple does have people that know the software working at their stores, so they could tell you specifics for sure. And check that I’m not totally wrong, lol.
