Chris C<p>iPhone Tip. iOS Text Replacements.<br>Is there something that you seem to be typing all the time; like an email address, street address, phone number, even emoji's? How would you like to just type 3 or 4 letters, hit the space bar, and those letters will automatically change into that email address, emoji, etc. Well, that is what a text replacement is, and text replacements come built into iOS!<br>And if you are wondering, text replacements work no matter what you ar typing on; on screen keyboard, Braille Screen Input, or external keyboard. Can not say regarding a Braille display since I have never tested it on one.<br>How to make a text replacement on your iPhone:<br>1, Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Text Replacement.<br>2, On this screen you will have an add button to add new text replacements, a search field to search through your list of text replacements that you have made if needed, and a list of all of the text replacements that you have already made.<br>3, So to add a new one, double tap on the add button near the top.<br>4, On the add new screen you have a save button and 2 edit fields; a phrase edit field, and a shortcut edit field.<br>5, So first, in the phrase edit field, type the email address, phrase, emoji, etc., that you want to appear after hitting the space bar.<br>6, Next, in the shortcut edit field, type the 3 or more letters that you want to represent what you entered in the phrase edit field.<br>7, The 3 or more letters can not be a word, part of a word, or a contraction if using Braille. For example, all of my text replacements start with the letters E J so it will not be confused for a part of a word or contraction.<br>8, A couple of examples I used:<br>E J G M, the shortcut for my gmail email address.<br>E J W F, shortcut for the Winking Face emoji.<br>You will have to come up with your own system to better help you remember your text replacements.<br>9, After entering your phrase and shortcut, just double tap the save button to add it to your list of text replacements.<br>10, While on the Add screen, you can repeat the process to enter as many text replacements as you want.<br>11, Just double tap the back button to go back to the original screen that has your list. There you will find all of the ones that you have made.<br>12, To delete a text replacement, swipe down your list to the one you want to delete, flick up to and choose delete.<br>13, To change or edit a text replacement, swipe down and double tap the one you want.<br>Text replacements can be very helpful and can make typing some things a lot quicker and easier.<br>Good luck and have fun!<br><a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/ios" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ios</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/text" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>text</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Replacement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Replacement</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/voiceover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>voiceover</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessible</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/iPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iPhone</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Tip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tip</span></a></p>
Dendrobatus Azureus<p>I've just woken up from a horrific IT Nightmare.</p><p>Only commercial companies were providing services on the internet, Open Source did not exist, Linus Torvalds was never born, Netscape has never come into fruition.</p><p>Every website you went to you have to go through 12 pages of advertisements bombarding you with all the flashes all the sounds and even even HTML5 did not exist everything was Flash!</p><p>There are only two browsers available Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Browser extensions were non-existent; everybody went on the internet like a drone and endured the horrific bombardment of advertisements like carpet bombs falling on your mind, as if you were in Vietnam, getting bombarded by The Enemy Flying B-52 fortresses.</p><p>All the Services constantly changed their end-user license agreement, your mobile devices had eight cameras pointed at you and none to the outside world. Those devices also had seven microphones of which the worst was used for you to talk into with your people and Friends, the six others were used to listen to you environment and sent everything outside.</p><p>Tracking devices were planted in your body at Birth, you are constantly itching because of all those devices in your system, giving you skin irritation and making your complexion like that of sandpaper.</p><p>Even going outside in your garden was horrific, micro drones were constantly following you, listening and looking at everything you do, even if you don't have any mobile devices on you.</p><p>Stores were even worse, everything you bought had tracking and tracing, even The Food you ate had tracking, and traces were going to your digestive track all the way to the toilet.</p><p>And while you were sitting there you had to endure advertisements for every time you use the toilet.</p><p>There were 12 financially Rich families on the planet everyone else was economic slave.</p><p>All religions were converted to advertisement bombardment Systems and to subjugation of people to Ads</p><p>^Z</p><p>/1</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Alphabet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alphabet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chrome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/AdBlock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdBlock</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/uBlockOrigin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>uBlockOrigin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/terrible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>terrible</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/nightmare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nightmare</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Elmstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Elmstreet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/WTF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WTF</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/replacement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>replacement</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/aftermath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aftermath</span></a></p>
Chuck Darwin<p>Elon Musk Finally Admits Social Security Is on the Chopping Block</p><p>The richest man in the world is trying to convince the American people that they all deserve less.<br>In an interview with Fox News on Monday, </p><p>Elon Musk spread debunked lies about Social Security and Medicare to justify eliminating them.</p><p>“The waste and fraud in entitlement spending … that’s the big one to eliminate, that’s the sort of half trillion, maybe six or seven hundred billion a year,” Musk said.</p><p>“That is also a mechanism by which the Democrats attract and retain illegal immigrants, by essentially paying them to come here, and they’re turning them into voters. This is why the Democrats are so upset about the situation,” <br>he added, unsubtly echoing a white nationalist, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Great" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Great</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Replacement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Replacement</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/theory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theory</span></a> talking point while <a href="https://c.im/tags/Larry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Larry</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kudlow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kudlow</span></a> nodded along. </p><p>“If we turn off this gigantic money magnet for illegal immigrants, then they will leave. And they will lose voters.”</p><p>👉Trump has said he won’t touch Social Security or Medicare, but Musk’s entitlement math makes it clear that both those programs, as well as Medicaid, are on the chopping block. </p><p>Millions of older Americans—many of them red-state Republicans—will lose the vital benefits they rely on. <br>And the millions of younger Americans who’ve been having those benefits taken out of their paychecks for years will never see the fruits of that.</p><p>Musk’s lies continued:</p><p>“Why are there 20 million people who are definitely dead marked as alive in the Social Security database?” he asked. </p><p>“Why were hundreds of millions of dollars of Small Business Administration loans given out to people aged 11 and under? We have an enormous number of people marked alive who are 160.”</p><p>⭐️This has been long debunked. <br>“The reported data are people in our records with a Social Security number who do not have a date of death associated with their record. These individuals are not necessarily receiving benefits,” <br>acting Social Security commissioner Lee Dudek said in February.</p><p><a href="https://newrepublic.com/post/192579/elon-musk-social-security-medicare-entitlements" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">newrepublic.com/post/192579/el</span><span class="invisible">on-musk-social-security-medicare-entitlements</span></a></p>
