I use an app called Be My Eyes to help the visually impaired.

You’ll get a random notification that a person needs your help. If you’re the first to respond, you’ll be paired up. Their phone camera is displayed on your screen, and you can talk to each other.

I always have a great experience when I use it.

Can we just use the universal landing page instead of picking pointless ways to divide ourselves?

For the blind and visually impaired.

iOS is the majority in the US, sadly.

I dont think the majority of lemmy users are from the US though

It certainly seems so judging by the amount of US politics

Not really a fair point. I get U.S. news in my local newspaper, and other sources. It is called geopolitics. Also, some countries switched to using the USD, and politics can drive the dollar up or down.

Globally it's about 12% though

[–] M137@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Ok, but the US isn't the majority of the world.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 5 points 11 months ago

Well, 4% of the population, 90% of the stupidity so...

I didn't say it was.
