the day it got leaked I tried it and I can verify that it works. They probably fixed it already I'm guessing

hey that's neat! thank you for your time!

I've tried audiobooks but it seems that - as silly as it sounds - I need closed captions with those

a combination of listening and reading with speeds synced up for me (like CC on video content) would work best, and most options for that are subscription based, or require expensive tech last I checked

I'll check the BBC sounds out tomorrow though, I appreciate the help

hrm yea I don't really like that take. I get the point but also equating their experience to everyone else is just, not it. It just doesnt work like that for many, even those with the exact same challenges

I've tried reading, so often. I want to be able to, even it just doesn't work for me. And believe me I've tried everything

anyway thanks for quoting the relevant sections of the article for me! That was helpful

Thanks for the quote, does the author provide any solution to that or acknowledge that some people simply cannot because if not it feels like a "I can do it with my disabilities so you can too!"

not to mention crappy AI articles being an issue nowadays

the website makes my phone lag

I'm not going to wait for 10 seconds before it scrolls way past where I was reading

Also does this article account for people with (mental, physical or learning) disabilities who cannot read or have more difficulty doing so? You can tell me to read all you want but if the text isnt accessible I simply cant read long texts, I have dyslexia, ADHD (focus issues) and my eyes physically shake leading to me skipping over entire paragraphs unless there's enough white space between the lines

That is not even to mention people with intelectual disabities or the language barriers that might cause this to not be readable

Yes I have trauma regarding reading but maybe consider there's more to it than that OP

All that is to say, things arent as simple as "you are the audience, read it"

maybe the article is better but idk cause its inaccessible for me for various reasons including "my phone is not powerful enough to read this article". I see some form of irony there, considering class was mentioned

that explains a lot, thank you!

whats connected to that steamdeck that allows them to draw

DDG keeps changing my search query because its "not returning a lot of results" or because it thinks I typo'd and it is infuriating to me, sometimes it doesnt even inform me that it did, not even giving me a link to click to get to my actual search query

'also noticed that it got worse around the same time google did

and yet plenty of stuff still runs in the background for me, eating my battery when I don't need it to be in the background

this worked wonders for me

then bullet journals lost its "new" factor and now its dusting in the corner w all the other calendars, organisers, diaries and notebooks I tried to start
