all keyboards have gotten worse for me. I tried swype when it was new and it was getting better and better until it suddenly tanked. I’m not sure if it was before or after it sold. Then I tried swiftkey and gboard and idk what else but almost every closed and open source keyboard that was free and not obviously malicious.

Gboard was great for a while and I used it for looking up kanji by thumb writing them with typical stroke order and having it deduce usually the correct one while playing ace attorney vs layton back when they said it would never get an english version. It got an english version in the end. The swipe inputs for english and Spanish were excellent but English at least seems to have gotten worse to the point of needing 5+ attempts per word. Also disclaimer: Idon’t actually speak spanish. Manual typing is just mentally draining due to recurring typos that get automatically added to suggestions but not a deletable dictionary entry as far as I can tell. I also don’t trust google at all.

Almost everything else is equally untrustworthy and/or bad, with at best on par manual typing. The foss options with swipe input literally use closed source google modules and are all equally crappy as google.

I was using a ghetto usb knockoff blackberry keyboard for a while but while it is nearly perfect as far as typing goes, it’s also an immensely inconvenient extra accessory that eventually snagged on something and broke.

Basically everything sucks and its still the fault of billionaires like everything else.

I once had the thought of a back of phone mounted backhand stenography input, but I feel like it would also suck.

the character style seems jarringly inconsistent

it also wont stick to begin with 90% of the time because of dust on the ducts

didn’t m$ recently screw up windows defender?

omfg I remember laughing at classmates that did this way back in the era of knights and magic

about 2/3 of any english accents sound like a different language if I don’t FOCUS.

that reminds me. when I was a kid I tried to do a cartwheel repeatedly until I fell in a really painful way and then after that I’d just watch others do cartwheels enviously

corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures

this is the way

so like… facebook or whatever uses them to train ai, the courts say it’s okay, but annas archive has to pay up?

I put some classics on mine like the one with ‘what are you sinking about?’

I used a 7 inch tablet with sim slot as a phone for about a week and it was miserable. I was too broke to buy a new phone after the one I was using got run over and I had the tablet already.

I’m not what I used to be

dune being a different size and position on every book absolutely murders me

is that a puzzle of the MAN meme?

I could never make out the other lyrics either but that is the song

When I worked at a grocery store I always heard ‘I hope you dance’ as ‘I want you dead’. The pa speakers were kinda shit and when the song eventually came up on radio on the drive home I was like “ooooooohhh!” out loud in the car by myself because I was wondering what it could possibly be since it was obviously not what I heard it as.

because people with an agenda are seeing:

• linux people hate ai
• top linux guy doesn’t hate ai

then try to combine those while leaving out the specific details so people come to their own conclusions based on emotional reaction in the hopes that linux users will turn away from linux or even change their views on ai the same way maga fucks change their views on epstein

or maybe its just an every day well intentioned headline like everything else

yeah but I’ll take it over a wired set where one has to have the cord wrapped around my ear in a specific way for sound to come out.

except no because a good enough replacement set was like 20 bucks and high end ones have always had and still do have removable cables.

just add googly eyes
