It’s been a while since I’ve played that. But yes, it’s helpful to see a graphical representation of where noisy things are, as I’m completely deaf in my left ear and can’t locate sounds.

Hard of hearing also. It’s so frustrating that text signs that list announcements are so rare.

Captions on television/movies and games are commonplace, but in the real world, very few places care.

Might be because I’m in a red state for a few more years due to family; blue states likely tend to be more aware of issues like ours.

I did see written callouts of upcoming tram stops once, but I can’t recall which airport. It may have been ORD.

The marque is actually named for the daughter of the trademark registrar, Mercédès Adrienne Ramona Manuela Jellinek.

Some keyboards also come with software that lets you disable or remap keys. I turned Caps Lock into something more useful to me, for instance.

Naval aviation is the general term for what you’re thinking of, and is the term used in the United States. In the UK, carrier pilots are part of the Fleet Air Arm.

That vehicle had a recall out to replace the badly-designed shifter. It was ignored.

The fix would have been free.

I subscribe to that - servers and datacenters aren’t free to run. Stand-alone games, though, have to be a one-time fee for me to pick up.

They’re one of my exceptions. The API/data needed for weather apps to function is not free (at least in the US), with the possible exception of NOAA, though I’m not sure if they offer an API for apps to use.

That’s why the developers have to pass the cost on. If you’ve got a free weather app, you’re probably paying for it with ad views. I’m personally not interested in doing that, so I chose an app I liked that lets me choose which source I want to use and customise the display.

Another thing I have a subscription for is a flight tracker. Operating ADS-B receivers is also not free, nor is additional data some apps get about delays and the like.

I also have a WoW subscription because servers are an ongoing cost (not factoring in continual development and new features even within a single expansion) but won’t keep paying for single player games. My purchase should cover development costs and the cost of fixing bugs.

Other stuff? Nope. I’ll spend a few dollars for useful utilities, but everything seems to be free with in-app purchases now, so most of the stuff I’ve got is grandfathered in from when you paid a reasonable fee that covered development costs and you weren’t hounded.

That affects all apps. I’d like to change it in just this one.

I would like to be able to change the interface colour. Lemmy allowed me to enter a hex code and change all the default blue elements to a colour of my choice — I love that.

Apollo alas never offered that, but at least it had some predefined options that were kind of close to my choice.

I can submit this as a formal request later today.

Definitely needs a way to save/share images.

Ugh, I was afraid of that. I’m also testing Memmy, and after some prodding I managed to get its image viewer to present a save icon when tapping on images from the post view, so I can do it there for now, but I’m sure not everyone runs two clients.

I’m really used to a long press popping up a context menu in addition to whatever other UI there may be, so hopefully at some point one of the apps will add that, and Mlem will add save in some fashion.

(I love to keep cute cat pictures. Missing mine a lot!)
