Cheating? Was boycotting last year as well, so a bit out of the loop 😅

Heliboard is fantastic ❤️

• glide typing.
• multiple languages at the same time (without switching).
• extremely customizable in nearly every way.
• customize long-press options for each key with multiple / list of options. For instance, I’ve extended the number keys row with my most-used emojis, so holding ‘1’ gives me a pop-up with ‘❤️😍😘🥰’, 2 gives ‘🙂😊😃😄’, etc.
• ‘snippets’ via custom dictionary with shortcuts (typing ‘xx’ shows my primary email for 1-click insertion, ‘yy’ shows secondary email; endless possibilities). Possible with most keyboards, though.
• and so much more.

I haven’t found anything that comes even close.

I’m sorry; it’s a coping mechanism for not being able to adequately read mood/tone from written text. I’m trying to quit, or at least dial it down, but it’s a struggle 😞

With my current progress on that front, we might as well be talking about grammar and punctuation — right …? 😶

What the fuuuuuck 😳

I can see how that could be a useful mod tool, but still (see line 1).

So happy I left that hellhole 😮‍💨

Edit: Although I guess this means I should have invested the time in deleting all my posts; probably too late now 🙄

And damn, now I really want to know what their AI thinks of me! 😅

Recently bought a 2015 MacBook with great specs, running Ventura via OCLP and purring like a kitten 👌

We have a Samsung “smart” TV, hooked up to an AppleTV box. The TV’s original remote is in a drawer somewhere, forever unused.

I have the apps that I need, the tiny Siri Remote turns on the TV and handles volume, and, apart from the aggressively, insanely, mind-blowingly horrible on-screen “keyboard” / text input (we don’t have Apple phones we can use to mitigate this, sadly. Also, what the fucking fuck, Apple?!) we’re happy. For now. I trust Apple to make the experience incrementally worse as a fact of life.

Not perfect, but leagues better than dealing with Samsung’s interface.

Is there any indication that they won’t implement this shit at some point?

Also, should we be trying to come up with the most insane “features” in this vein that we can imagine (knowing full well that some corporation will come up with them eventually), and then patent them to protect humanity from them?

Is there any organization that collects patents just to block them (in the consumer’s favor)? A kind of white-hat patent troll? And, if not, should we create one?

I spy a research rabbit hole in my near future … 🐰

Edit: ESPHome is a system to control your microcontrollers by simple yet powerful configuration files and control them remotely through Home Automation systems.

Exactly! Seems like a very “Yo Dawg!”-moment to me.

The less Microsoft I need, the better, and recently switched from VS Code to VS Codium, which, I believe, puts me at 100% free of Microsoft 😍

(Barring some M$ code in other software I use that I don’t know about)

That requires that you trust the app vendor not to have some sort of back door, no?

I mean, fuck Apple, but …

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Still, though — fuck Apple.

Background on the Vice stuff for those interested 👍

Never heard of Meshtastic before, quite the rabbit hole, and sounds super awesome!

Had a look at your other thread (not a member there so seems I can’t comment, or maybe it’s just my client), and trying to understand what you guys are using these for.

Official site says “Hiking safety GPS”, something to that effect, but all this talk of “local topics” has me confused. What’s your use-case?

1. Most of the world uses Google.
2. Everyone must accept Google EULA to use.
3. Google adds arbitration rule to EULA.
4. Google adds “EULA covers all Google subsidiaries and partners” to EULA.
5. Google sells “partnerships” to every company that can afford it.
6. Profit.

Partner killed by a faulty Ford truck? Never signed a Ford EULA? No worries, Ford is a Google Partner™! See you in arbitration, bitch! 😂

I feel the same way about MeGusta — x265, always great size/quality ratio.

Much better, very good detail 😅

How about ‘artist’s death’, full stop?
