@mew @mcourcel @JamminJerry I need to see if they've got an RSS feed so I can subscribe and get the updates right when they come out. I even saw some 17 betas on there. Now that's wild

[jamminjerry@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@pixelate @mew @mcourcel yes that is the one I was thinking of. lol. that is kind of how I thought of it to, or at leat that is how it felt it was headed, more talkback than CSR though.

[pixelate@tweesecake.social]

@mew @mcourcel @JamminJerry Awww you gotta ask on list. I think. That's what everyone else is doing. https://groups.io/g/blindandroidusers/topic/119268906#msg77309

[mew@fwoof.space]

@pixelate oh, that's OK. I can wait @mcourcel @JamminJerry

@mew @mcourcel @JamminJerry For image descriptions and such though, you'll need a Gemini API key. But you've probably already got that covered. I don't think he's able to get non-Google TalkBack to tap into their way of giving us free image descriptions.

@pixelate @mew @mcourcel I have a key, but in all honestyu it seems like most of the time the server is too busy. I have something else I use my google key on, and I get a whole lot of I think it is 503 errors. it looks like once he gets 20 people, then he can do an open beta. he just needs at least 20 people it looks like.

[pixelate@tweesecake.social]

@JamminJerry @mew @mcourcel Well right now he's got approximately over nine thousand.

[jamminjerry@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@pixelate @mew @mcourcel ok, then he should be able to make it a public beta then from what one of his things said.

[jstark@caneandable.social]

@mew @JamminJerry @pixelate @mcourcel the android list had a request for interest in beta from the author

[jstark@caneandable.social]

@JamminJerry @mew @pixelate @mcourcel the question is why go samsung or pixel and not another brand? I know I'm not sure what my next phone will be... when my S24+ dies... or when the wife destroys her A54 and gets my S24+ so I can upgrade

[mew@fwoof.space]

@JStark For me, it's mainly because I'm just uneducated and there's the accessibility factor I'd need to also factor in. @JamminJerry @pixelate @mcourcel

[jstark@caneandable.social]

@mew @JamminJerry @pixelate @mcourcel sure same on accessibility factor

[jamminjerry@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@JStark @mew @pixelate @mcourcel I can only get what t-mobile has, and it is either samsung, pixel, or I believe motorola, and that is it. I could be completely wrong, and if I am, I would gladtly admit it. I don't want no budget phone either. I have seen talkback on several of those, and it is not as snappy as on either the pixel, or something like th S24.

[jstark@caneandable.social]

@JamminJerry @mew @pixelate @mcourcel you can get an unlocked phone from amazon and put it on tmobile though

[jamminjerry@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@JStark @mew @pixelate @mcourcel you didn't see what I had said earlier this evening in this conversation. smile. I had said if it wasn't for the fact that threw t-mobile I have very good credit, and I can make monthly payments, I wouldn't have the phones I do. my actual credit really sucks! so for me it is get my phones threw t-mobile, and make reasonable monthly payments.

[jstark@caneandable.social]

@JamminJerry @mew @pixelate @mcourcel ya didn't see that... fair point. Than go pixel.

[pixelate@tweesecake.social]

@JamminJerry @JStark @mew @mcourcel It's okay I didn't see it either. cause I'm blind.
