@Kaliah So my iPhone 8 doesn't have it, so it'll be interesting to see if my 2020 SE gets it.

@BTyson That's so weird. Why did I get it then

@Kaliah It could be a gradual rollout. As an example, the App Store only showed that I could update to 193.1 even though you have 194.

@BTyson Yeah. Maybe it is. I really wish I could go back though because I don't like or want it, like I've said 35 thousand times.

@Kaliah You could write a review in the App Store about it.

@BTyson as if that'll go anywhere. Still probably not going to make a difference because it probably looks good, and that's what matters to people. Forget accessibility, this looks better, so it must be better

@Kaliah @BTyson Okay but like actually what's your problem with the new interface? I'd very much like DMs to be their own tab. I haven't tried it yet, but that sounds nice as hell. No more wasting like 45 seconds trying to find the god damn DM button.

@TheQuinbox @BTyson My problem is exactly that. I don't want DM's in their own tab. I really don't. I prefer them at the top above the servers. And I also don't want my servers at the bottom of the screen as a second tab bar. Oh and did I mention that, if you have more than like 4 servers, you have to click an extra button to see the rest? I have lots of problems with the new interface.

@Kaliah @BTyson No, you didn't, hence my utter and complete confusion. Sending 50 replies to different people just saying that you don't like it is a very ineffective strategy for letting people actually know *why* to avoid it.

@Kaliah @BTyson Also, why the hell would you want DMs above the servers? That was always *super* buggy for me. Like, I'd hit the direct messages button, and get like 2 of them, then a random fuckin' server. Like what?

@TheQuinbox @BTyson I never had any problems with that. The servers were scrolled down the left side of the screen and I could touch on them, and the channels were in the right. Clicking on servers and stuff would change the channels in the right. That's simple and easy. This just makes it complicated.

@Kaliah @BTyson Yeah no, it never worked like that for me, the swipe order was always weird. I *never* explore by touch though, so maybe that's why? I had no idea servers were down the left side for example.

@TheQuinbox @BTyson Nope, they totally are. And I liked them by that. Also you think the swipe order was weird in the old layout, just wait until you see the new one. It's completely fucked up there too. I used the old interface by touch exploring, which is why I liked it.

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox I have to incorporate explore by touch into my use of Discord even to not run the risk of the app crashing if there's a long message.

@BTyson @Kaliah Oh yeah, once again welcome to iOS. Not sure if that's an iOS problem but it doesn't happen on Android and it's build with a cross-platform SDK so shrugs.

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox It's still weird that you never had the app crash completely when hitting a long message, whereas both me and Kaliah do, I think. Although 194 hasn't been offered for my SE yet.

@BTyson @Kaliah Oh I have. Just on iOS though. That was my whole point.

@BTyson @Kaliah Although I don't think that's an app crash. It apparently stays rendered visually.

@TheQuinbox @BTyson If there is a good way to submit feedback where people will actually see it and care, I'd gladly do that. App store reviews have never gone anywhere for me though, which is why I didn't. But if they have some other better way I'll bring this up for sure.

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox It would probably be good to try that link Quin just sent.

@BTyson @TheQuinbox I am right now. I'm not sure which category it'd go in though, help and support maybe. Also does this link have any ties to email? If it does I won't be able to do it because my discord is linked to my old email I can't access.

@Kaliah @BTyson Help and support is what I did before. Well, before, I pinged them on Twitter, but y'know. Can't really do that now.

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox I'm a bit nervous though, because I did use a page to try to report the lack of a way to change TTS voices and they just pinged it back that it's Microsoft's fault. I was really dissatisfied.

@BTyson @Kaliah Perhaps because it is?

@TheQuinbox @Kaliah But how? They support both OneCore and SAPI (Discord does), you have to break all the other voices in your registry to get it to use the one you want if it's not what Discord preselects. Changing the preference in Settings>Time and Language>Speech, or Control Panel/Text-to-speech, has no effect on Discord.

@BTyson @Kaliah What are you talking about? Microsoft doesn't allow voice selection through WebTTS. Pretty simple.

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox But for example, with Cyclepath, playing in my browser, I changed the selection in Control Panel and it respected it.

@BTyson @Kaliah Pretty sure it's a browser thing. I have the Cyclepath code, he literally just creates a WebTTS object.

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox Ouch. I wish it worked more consistently. I don't recall which browser it was but I think it was at least Cromium-based. And my thinking was, it worked in Cyclepath in a Cromium browser, so why does it not work the same in Discord, since Discord's also Cromium-based? Does that make sense why I'm confused?

@BTyson @Kaliah No, because you weren't running Cyclepath as an Electron app. If it works in Cyclepath as an Electron app though I would be, but it doesn't. At least it didn't for me.

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox So are you saying you think that Electron apps have different permissions than a Cromium browser, even though both use Cromium?

@BTyson @Kaliah It wouldn't surprise me whatsoever. Cyclepath is doing absolutely nothing special, though. I just looked at the code. All it does is create a window.speechSynthesis object, create an utterance, stop the current one, and then speak.

@TheQuinbox @Kaliah This is good to know and I'll definitely take a look. Is the Cyclepath installer still available?

@BTyson @Kaliah https://iamtalon.me/games/cyclepath/cyclepath-Setup-0.5.0.exe

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox Thanks! :)

@BTyson @Kaliah WTF...metatext is weird. It's putting Kaliah first in the list of mentioned people even though you're replying to me. That's horrible.

@TheQuinbox @BTyson I noticed that. It was confusing me so much.

@Kaliah @BTyson And today, in how to utterly fail at a very simple task, I present to you...that!

@BTyson @Kaliah Don't feel bad, it's Metatext's shitty design. I can't recommend Mona enough.

@TheQuinbox @BTyson Yeah. Mona's great

@Kaliah @TheQuinbox I should try it at some point. I kept meaning to then got busy.
