<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sfba.social/@steven_aquino" class="u-url mention">@<span>steven_aquino</span></a></span> yes! Like, I understand and appreciate the gesture and actually love that Siri finally has an away to type to it. I just wish it was in a different spot or they had a different number of taps selected that didn’t correspond with what people use to hit period to start a new sentence.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> Yeah, the area near that vertical bar is doing a lot of work.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://pdx.social/@louie" class="u-url mention">@<span>louie</span></a></span> totally. It’s also possible we could just get another centralized network again that wins out a la Twitter or FB or WhatsApp. And then those will break the cycles will continue. As you say, our own sites are what we can most control.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sfba.social/@steven_aquino" class="u-url mention">@<span>steven_aquino</span></a></span> even for hunt and peckers I question the placement here from an a11y POV because the touch target is very close to the spacebar, especially on iPad. But as someone who is a touch typist on phones, tablets, any QWERTY keyboard, I keep accidentally enabling it. Like make it 3 taps instead of 2? I dunno.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> As a hunt-and-peck typist due to disability, I envy you fam. 😅</p>

<p>The “type to Siri” gesture in iOS 18.1 being a double tap at the bottom of the screen is truly terrible UX for people who are fast typers on an iPhone or especially iPad who frequently enable it just by pressing the space bar twice to start a new sentence. Had to turn it off.</p>

Didn&#39;t they trash the SunSpider benchmarks?</p>
