Might just be the app I use, idk.

Switched to this a couple weeks ago. I’m used to swipe typing on gboard. Unfortunately the swipe typing on FUTO is nowhere near useable for me yet. The accuracy is horrendous, and much of the time it just gives up on inputting any word at all.

Unfortunately swiping on Gboard has been my main method of typing for more than a decade. I’m so accustomed to it that I can type full sentences without even looking at my phone.

So in an effort to improve my privacy (by discontinuing my use of a piece of keylogging spyware as a keyboard) I’ve sacrificed the speed of swipe typing. Everything takes much longer to type now. Worth it? I guess I’ll keep trying for a month or so and decide then.

Glad you posted this, it reminded me to update my Lemmy content filter! Up to now, I’ve just filtered out any headline including the word “slam, slammed, or slams.” Because those headlines are garbage. Now I’ve remembered I need to add the word “blast, blasted, and blasts,” because those are garbage too. Thanks!!

“Cruisin” is no longer a thing

That’s not the case in much of the rural US. In small towns (~30-75k) everywhere there are kids driving up and down the road every Friday and Saturday night.

Couldn’t possibly agree more. One of the biggest barriers to sharing my enthusiasm for Linux with my friends is filtering out all of the cringey anime weeb shit that somehow gets posted along with it. Why does open source software need to be associated with creepy drawings of little girls? Absolutely the worst vibes.

Fun fact: It doesn’t even meet Apple’s own standard for text contrast!

Dude… Who here is asking for “a magical piece of PCB for free?” I’m assuming that means you think people are asking for free phones?

See the last sentence of my original comment.

It’s about the social phenomenon around the imessage chat colors, which is intentional on Apple’s part. You must have a social in-group and an out-group. To be in the in-group, you must purchase the correct products, subscribe to the correct services.

CONSUME

Apple doesn’t “share a lot of the blame.” The blame belongs solely to Apple and their insistence on a closed ecosystem. They intentionally hamstring any cross functionality with competing devices, even features as simple as text messaging. It’s important for Apple to foster a cult-like mentality among their consumers.

The American Gestapo exist to enforce their feelings and advance the interests of wealthy property owners.

Supposedly, if you put a slice of bologna on a regular, painted car panel overnight, it will peel the paint off with it. I don’t know if that’s true or not. The cyber truck doesn’t have paint so it’s irrelevant, but that’s the one automotive bologna anecdote that I know of.

How about TWO layers of tissue? Checkmate, scientists.

Signed, the toilet seat nest-builders of the world.

Can it be implied that they’re very graphic?
