The thing that makes it ugly (a lack of consistent geometry and inconsistent line weights) is exactly what makes it harder for someone’s brain to swap or misinterpret letters. I love pretty fonts and pretty UI, but if I had to pick between a pretty UI and being able to read, it’s not exactly a hard choice. Gimme the ugly thing that helps my brain actually read 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, that makes perfect sense with all of what I’ve learned. Independent. Super high prey drive. Chaos tornados as puppies lol.

I’d be adopting an adult, I definitely am not prepared for a puppy. This would be essentially my first dog, no need to make it that much harder 😅. Right now I think I’m generally leaning towards a greyhound, but whippets seem really sweet as well

Thanks for sharing your dog with us. He’s mega cute 🥹

I have a lot of mental health challenges and a severe sleep disorder that results in a lot of isolation. I’m kinda thinking when I’m in the right financial place for it, a dog might really help with the isolation.

I’m curious what you mean by unreliable. I assume you’re referring to them being difficult to direct since from what I hear they’re not very biddable and are pretty independent in their decision making 😅

I believe this is an issue with both openboard and the aosp keyboard (with jerboa specifically), here lemme find the repo for the open board fork thats still getting development

Edit: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard this fork is under active development. It can be installed via the apks on github or through obtainium. If there isn’t one already it would be helpful to submit a bug report for the issue you’re experiencing. It might be good to open a bug report with jerboa too

I mean liberal and conservative aren’t the same level of crappy in my eyes, but it is accurate to say corporate interests fund both of them. I think its reasonable to question how beholden both of them are to private interests

Gotcha. I missed that on their GitLab page, Thank you for pointing it out to me!

Futo Voice Input, and there are links in the post ☺️ Weirdly, it doesn’t seem to be on Fdroid (yet?), but you can install it as an APK from their website.

I’m using it to type this comment and I REALLY like it! But I will say it tries to do punctuation for me, and that drives me nuts.

(Video is about an open source voice to text, input method for Android, by the way.)

I mean, in fairness, this is a reviewer. I think the obsession with everything being different than it used to be is mostly a consumer, marketing and reviewer thing. Designers certainly have a role to play in the problem too, though.

Thats a super cool feature, I’d love to see that implemented on jerboa too!

Borderlands. Couch co-op with my brother was pretty much what videogames was to me as a kid, and borderlands was always our favorite. I can’t wait to have a platform I can play borderlands 3 and the tiny Tina game on with him over the Christmases when hes back in town (I know they’re not quite as good, thats perfectly okay)

These days, hollow knight is also genuinely very special to me. I don’t think there’s any game I hold in the same kind of place of reverence

As someone who only ever accesses lemmy with jerboa, I had no idea that info was visible, thank you for mentioning that

So if I go to the web interface I can see upvotes and down votes? Is it only visible for my posts and comments?

I’m not sure if there’s actually a way to, but I could be wrong…

Yay ☺️

Like 7zip, or winrar if I remember right. Sometimes when torrenting something or getting ROMs for emulation I’ve come across archive formats that have given me a problem when I try to uncompress them

Material files and/or anemo are perfect for me. Wish material files could handle more kinds of compressed archives though, I have to keep a different app for those tasks

Gotcha. Good luck finding answers, and If you figure something out on your own time I’m sure folks would love it if you reported back with your findings. Hopefully someone has some helpful insight :)

How old is the filament? If you’ve had it a long time perhaps its taken on too much water (once things get to a certain point it can irreversibly make the filament print poorly, even if you try to dry it)

I’m not super knowledgeable myself, but I hope someone here is able to provide useful guidance

While that is fair, messaging is a bit more complicated since you kinda have to use what other people in your life are using, and almost all of the people I talk to regularly have RCS but not other chat services I’d rather use. If RCS was available outside of google messages I’d gladly use a third party RCS app.

Like I said, its great to have an account option if you can still use it without your google account via the QR code, but loosing a feature unless you use a google account would be a bummer.

To be totally honest it seems weird to me that people would be so invested in debating my preference to not have to use a google account. I was just expressing my personal disappointment that a feature might go away unless I link an account- do I really need to justify that? Can’t I just be not-thrilled at something without people telling me I shouldn’t feel that way, or that I’m unjustified? 🤷

Regardless, I hope you have a good day :)

RCS is the only way to get read receipts with most folks I know, and google messages is the only way to use RCS presently
