Don’t click this link. I’m warning you, you’ll be sorry in ways that I can’t begin to describe.

I keep my phone mounted on the air vent right in front of me, and I can say, “Siri, message my wife blah blah blah” she’ll read it back, and I’ll tell her to send it. It’s not 100% safe, but it’s way safer than holding the phone and typing it out. Nothing in a car is 100% safe, people take their eyes off the road to adjust the heat & a/c controls or turn the radio. My point is that text-to-speech is multitudes safer than holding the phone. And trust me, my job has me on the road all day. I pass plenty of people on the interstate with their heads down into their laps for stretches at 80 mph.

Hey hey, why is text-to-speech catching a stray?? I can speak way faster than I can type, even if I do occasionally have to fix a couple of typos. It beats the heck out of typing on the iOS keyboard. And text-to-speech while driving is way safer.

Man, these look great for the price point. Strangely though, lower priced Apple products don’t sell that well. I guess we’ll see.

The Swingin’ Medallions have had a rotating group for most of their career, but Wikipedia does say that the drummer, Joe Morris, has been consistently with them since ’62. So I guess they’ve only had one. And they were still performing last year.

I like the interface more than the Lemmy interface, but it also has a number of cool features that Lemmy doesn’t have. And the update schedule is crazy good. PieFed 1.5 has only been out about 3 weeks, and the dev just released 1.6 today with more features, updates, and fixes.

Not to mention that there is some… questionable… behavior by the Lemmy devs. While the PieFed dev may not be perfect, he doesn’t have the baggage the Lemmy devs do, and I feel better using the PieFed software. It all connects to the same stuff.

Since your Lemmy account is only 3 days old, I would recommend switching over to PieFed. It’s a much nicer experience and federates with all the same servers that Lemmy does, so you’re seeing the same posts but in a better way. You’re on lemmy.zip, and the same devs run piefed.zip.

With a little curation of your community subscriptions, you can get a very similar experience to Reddit but better.

Can confirm. Have bought a lot of overpriced gas station food while high. But boy was it delicious at the time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I used Apollo for Reddit on my phone. The dev was very active in the subreddit, and using Apollo truly felt like being a member of a club. When they shut down the API access, Christian, the dev, tried to negotiate with them to keep the app alive. Not only was Reddit not negotiating in good faith, but they actively lied about the interactions. Unfortunately for them, Christian produced the receipts that made them look like idiots. (But they apparently couldn’t care less.) I went looking for alternatives and found Lemmy. Voyager is “heavily inspired” by Apollo (which means it’s almost a carbon copy), and scratches the itch. Now, with PieFed, I’m even more happy here.

Same problem. Hoping for a fix.
