@spacepup @rommix0 @Bri Same I try to avoid the chaos where possible.

@rommix0 Yeah, and a surprising number of people also enjoy it.

@rommix0 Oh jesus.

@rommix0 Oof, yeah, glad you were able to get out of that predicament.

@rommix0 Oh damn, that sucks, sorry you're going through that man.

@Tamasg @fireborn Oh yeah I was able to do custom actions, if you wanna take a look at what I've done so far here's the repo: https://github.com/g4p-studios/thrive-expo

@fireborn @Tamasg Oh right, that's good then. If only Google made things simpler like how Apple did with Swift lol.

@Tamasg @fireborn SDK 54 fixes a lot of issues, but they're coming out with SDK 55 which makes the native IOS integration much better, its not as bad as some people make it out to be.

@fireborn @Tamasg Oh you mean that Jetpack Compose shit? Uggghh why do ya think I decided to go the Expo rout with my mobile Thrive app lol I still need to work on that at some point but other stuff's been getting in the way.

@Tamasg Hahaha yeah that'd be fun lol.

@Tamasg I could imagine myself having fun with that if it was in NVDA or the SAPI version lmfao

@fireborn @Tamasg Yup, that'd be a whole load of extra work, so its a good job that GitHub has the option to turn PRs off but still be open source.

@fireborn Oh right, well yeah for this you could plop the source in and just turn PRs off on the repo.

@fireborn Ye and that's understandable, when you've got a shitload of other stuff you don't wanna be reviewing pull requests every hour lol. Oh and I just looked it up, there's a page on the GitHub docs about disabling PRs: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/enabling-features-for-your-repository/disabling-pull-requests

@fireborn About the thing about not putting the source out there because of merge requests, I think Github lets you turn off pull requests, or you can just say pull requests will be ignored, I've seen other projects do that and its perfectly OK to do that.

@destranis @tunmi13 It definitely exists, just Google the word and you'll find info about it.

@destranis @tunmi13 I looked enshittification up and it is a word. And its not just that, people don't wanna have to mess around like a website just to message people. But that's beside the point, people like the alternatives, there's nothing wrong with that.

@destranis @tunmi13 1. The security issues got fixed, and encryption is in progress.
2. This isn't just designed for blind people, but a lot of blind people are sick of bloated apps like Discord and WhatsApp which on desktop is now a web wrapper.
3. Escargot Chat is a service that lets you use the old MSN Messenger clients on modern Windows and message people.
Oh and about being isolated from the sighted world, if one was to actually do some digging you'd find out that even a lot of sighted people are sick of the enshittification of mainstream platforms.

@tunmi13 Lmao the irony

@rommix0 @Bri That's probably because a lot of people aren't as genuin. Me however, I don't do the superficial bullshit, that's just not right, and therefore I don't pull that shit.
