I started to use it recently so I am not speaking for myself, but I have a friend who is a hardcore user that says that the key is that you must follow users who actually review content, and that it is specially interesting if these people have similar tastes to you. You can, for example, follow Martin Scorsese's user and you'll see his reviews.
I am looking forward for OvertureMaps and what will happen to OSM with that.
We all know Florisboard has no autocorrect or word suggestions yet. The whole post is about this exactly.
Why would I want to hide the smart bar if it's actually useful, quick and modern, unline AnySoftKeyboard... which you have a set of options that either bring too little or too much.
No keyboard layout options in Florisboard? In fact, I can do something in Florisboard that I cannot do in AnySoftKeyboard in terms of layouts: I can pick a "spanish layout" for English language. Which is perfect because I hate having to change layouts and relearn key positions, something that AnySoftKeyboard forces you to do.
In terms of features that Florisboard has that AnySoftKeyboard doesn't... how about a modern and useful top bar that does many more things than the static AnySoftKeyboard's? How about left-right movement with spacebar? How about swipe deletion? How about good-looking password manager integration (and not AnySoftKeyboard's aberration)? How about being able to separate layouts and languages? Clipboard support?
Many of the "cool" modular things that AnySoftKeyboard can do are:
- for niche power users
- things than can still be included eventually in Florisboard
The difference here is that for AnySoftKeyboard to include anything that Florisboard does right would require much more work, muuuch more work (basically a full rework of the app); whereas for Florisboard integrating a fancy layout would be... a simple, one file PR.
Once you use Florisboard you realise that even with all those options in AnySoftKeyboard, you cannot fully setup something as modern, well-functioning and organized as Florisboard.
There is one thing that makes me shut AnySoftKeyboard down everytime I come back and try it, which is that, when you hold down a key to show the alternative options... you have to really put your finger up over the options to select them... but only from the second row up. Makes no sense and no one seems to realise how wrong that is.
I get scared about Rust when reading about these things and I understand nothing.
Hopefully you don't need this knowledge to build something useful 😅
Newish Kindle (basic) user here. Any issue aside from battery life to justify airplane mode always on?
Being able to translate or look stuff up on Wikipedia is amazing for me.
Never felt the need for microblogging when Reddit existed, and chats are a mess and I will never understand the appeal unless I spent 24 hours there. So now it's Lemmy all the way... except for YouTube, of course, because that one is simply too hard to avoid, although I do mostly use Piped mirrors.
I find this one fairly useless nowadays, maybe except for a couple websites. But even Wikipedia nowadays has a native dark mode.
Although I totally get why lemmy.ml would want to do something like that, it's not "being polite...", it's "enforcing politeness..."
I've been doing my research and I feel that opus should be the way to go? Can have chapters and compression is the best there is. I read that m4b keeps track of where you left... but I feel that that should not be the task of an audio file?
Let's be honest, the only one it could win would be repairability and it's really the only player, so...
