3rd person reference is annoying. No alternate software. Try a remote access solution and using the browser from a different machine.

What do the pronouns have to do with anything?
Personal pronouns of any sort are fine. 3rd person pronouns are grammatically awkward and confusing to the reader when substituted for 1st person/personal pronouns. We aren’t talking about a 3rd party, we’re talking about you.
Drag's pronouns are person-independent, which means when drag uses them, they're first person pronouns.
Fucking dumb. That’s not how language works. Grow up.
Language is a figment of ones imagination and linguistics behave based on popular opinion, it doesn't 'work' but it's shaped based on popular culture and common beliefs, and every rule now created or represented to give proper outlines to the language aren't always correct and only serve to help outsiders and other linguists establish connections by using similarities of the rules between other languages rather than it's own which is a fickle construct that always changes and can be seen actively changing in every country language or culture

What...
Dragon Rider wasn’t speaking in third person, that’s just drag’s pronouns. I have no idea why you thought questioning a user about drag’s pronoun choice is at all relevant to this post about technology
I wish there was a single generic pronoun, gender neutral. I don't agree with chosen pronouns. Language is standardized for a reason.
Why is misgendering others so important to your wellbeing?
It is not. It's precisely because I don't wish to disrespect others that I wish there was an acceptable way to address others in a way where I couldn't inadvertently call someone something they don't want if I'm not aware of their preference. That's why I advocate for respectful, neutral pronouns. I'm fine if we do away with him/her, whatever. Replace it with whatever. Thou? Ot, Om, OS? I don't know. I wish for a way for people to be them, not labels. I believe that the way to equality is making gender a non issue.
And now you’re lying. In the comment I responded to, you said you don’t agree with chosen pronouns. That’s you selfishly deciding that you don’t respect the gender presentation of transgender and non-binary people because… why? It’s more convenient for you? You’re too lazy to ask others simple questions?
Not antagonizing complete strangers for no reason and stopping behaviors of yours that other people tell you to stop doing because it makes them uncomfortable are things your parents should have taught you to do when you were little.
How does drag do remote access from an Apple device?
I’m seeing several reports of people having success with Alook on older iPads

No luck. Deviantart is missing the same features as on Chrome, Firefox, and everything else. Can't tap images to enlarge them, pages stop loading images after hitting a limit, can't favourite deviations, and there's a banner saying the browser is out of date and the x to close the banner doesn't work. And it cost an american dollar, which isn't much but is still annoying to get nothing out of. Drag's requested a refund from Apple.
Isn't there some sort of alternative OS for iPads, like linux on MacOS machines?
Drag hopes so
