MUCH prefer AnySoftKeyboard as it has niceties like easy switching of language on the fly, arrow keys and other stuff like that, i just wish the autocomplete was not worse than not having any as it actually wastes your time showing you whatever incorrect and extremely unlikely suggestions it wants instead of something that actually follows what you’re writing

The point is that by fighting back they cannot get any more accurate than that, which helps, even if it’s incomplete and imperfect.

There’s also the spite angle, because fuck them, i am not gonna give them shit if i can help it!

Basically this. The project head might be a bit too paranoid, bellicose and problematic, but at this time a phone with GrapheneOS seems to be by far the safest way to have a smartphone, and the project head’s personality might be a part on this as their stated objective is to be able to resist state-level actors, you likely need someone who’s more than a bit “out there” to have the right mind for this

I have family that believes this and LIKE having ads, so yeah… 😓

I keep meaning to learn Forth since reading the Wiz Biz books ages ago

Ah fuck!

Edit: After reading more info on the situation it seems like there was no malice, but this has been handled in an outright lousy way, this software has important privileges on the phone and was handled spectacularly bad for an app aimed at people who care about privacy.

However, there was a silver lining here for some of us which was pointed there: The upgrade to version 2 was a potentially breaking one, so they published it in a way that would not upgrade automatically, so lots of people including me still have version 1.30.0.4, and are unable to automatically upgrade, need to do multiple manual steps to get to version 2. I think I’ll wait a bit before upgrading to see how they handle things, OR if there’s a fork by a person with a modicum of common sense.

The sad thing is that this is exactly how they think, have seen it myself, extremely “If you’re not with us you’re against us” mentality

I had never heard of Open Desk before, what do we know of this suite?

Looks like this works regardless of that

I’ve heard that many of them made their whole identity around “Hunting the pedos”. So, there might be in-fighting on their ranks over this.

That has been the plan from the start

And self-hosted, that part is important

Because it was never about parenting or the kids

You just have zero guarantee that the answers will be real

Submitting is not a way out

Because they’re too busy playing it? 😅

And the Internet Archive too

This was a meme going around earlier this month about AAA vs Indie gamedevs:

Which is useless for non-local stuff
