Drag has an old iPad Mini that stopped working. There’s nothing physically wrong with it. The screen is fine, the battery is fine, the processor is old, but fit for purpose. Apple simply refuses to allow browser updates. It’s not like drag needs the latest and greatest, drag only uses it to browse deviantart and furaffinity. As recently as a year ago it worked perfectly. But these websites no longer serve content properly to old browser versions, so drag needs a way to bypass apple and update the browser.
Drag’s tried Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and even Brave. But apparently all browsers on iOS are just reskins of Safari, so none of these worked.
Is there some way drag could maybe install an Android distribution on the iPad? Or get a proper browser on this machine? Drag despises e-waste and also is broke. It’s not a must-have, drag has a perfectly good phone and PC. But the larger screen size is good for image browsing, and hacking this machine to fix it would be a nice middle finger to Apple’s planned obsolescence.
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.
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.
