So… very wet?

Ah, for some reason I assumed you meant Fennec in your original comment. I see now that person you replied to mentioned both.

What URL do you put in Obtanium?

I found what I think is the source for the fennec patches to the Firefox source code, but there’s no releases page. F-Droid still has v133. Where are you finding more recently updated releases?

That does appear to be the source, but Obtanium needs a Releases page, as far as I can tell, and people only seem to talk about it in relation to github.

I found a YouTube video that says it can install from all sorts of places. I’m going to watch it to get the gist of it.

What is the Fennec URL? I’ve been searching for 5 minutes with both DDG and Google and can’t find it. “Fennec” is a really overloaded word. All I can find is the F-Droid page, not the source. I wanted to try Obtanium for the first time.

So… The answer is yes.

Thanks for the recommendation! It looks really good so far. Well, except for the swipe typing. If they can perfect swipe typing, I’d be so impressed. Even Gboard does it terribly. I noticed they have a public website to help train swiping. That’s neat. https://swipe.futo.org/

After I tap a suggestion , if I hit a punctuation key , it leaves a space after the word . (like in that sentence .) Gboard removes the space automatically, and Heliboard doesn’t add it to begin with.

Turns out, you can turn off automatic spaces entirely, and that feels better.

There’s a github for issue tacking and a Discord for discussions. These are good signs. I really like what I see so far.

It was eerie. I’m just telling you what my honest impression was. The thread was “What’s your favorite Android keyboard?” and like 8 of the first 10 comments were for Florisboard, despite it being far behind other keyboards, and I had never even heard of it. It made me feel it was some sort of scam keyboard. It’s similar to a situation where if every YouTube influencer is telling me I need to insall something, that’s a giant red flag. Especially when that thing was objectively worse than other options at the time.

Don’t tell me I can’t comment with my honest experiences.

And here you are touting a feature that other keyboards have had for years.

Why not HeliBoard?

Last time I saw anyone mention FlorisBoard, a whole post’s comments section was recommending it. Almost like the post got brigaded by astroturfers shilling FlorisBoard. At the time it didn’t even have autocorrect or other basic features. It felt like the Twilight zone.

Now, I don’t trust anyone who recommends it because it had literally no features over an already established keyboard like HeliBoard, yet a entire post of evangelists coming out of the woodwork. Makes no sense.

and tower companies part for everything they need for the needy fifteen years.

Were you drunk when you wrote this?

The best way to keep the air clean and safe is to privatize it. Air owners will have a financial interest in keeping their air clean and can sue polluters. Meanwhile, government would just ignore (or at most monitor) pollution.

I like how confidently wrong you are.

Screenshot from a teardown video showing that the C-stick is, in fact, a stick:

“Always has been.” Riiiight.

There is no ability to benefit from poor texture mapping. The wobbling textures are essentially random. There is a finite number of PS1 games, and no game has ever “depended” on this behavior. Your argument is nonsense. Current emulators have the ability to fix textures.

[You] lose 5-10% of the reported battery capacity each year.

Right in the article. I like how you chose the low end of the estimate and then added “maybe” and then ignored that it’s each year.

Your spoiler doesn’t work because you have to start it on its own line. You can’t put it the same line as “tl;Dr”.

Also, you’re supposed to change the second “Spoiler” word to some plain text that explains what the spoiler is. Like this:

Sync is dumb. Switch to Thunder.

I say this as a regretful $20 payer and previous patreon.

Ironically the spoiler is broken in Thunder, too, because they did it wrong. It has to start on a line all by itself. They instead put it on the same line as “tl;Dr”. But at least Thunder shows it as plain text.

Those aren’t demanding games. This video doesn’t demo the sticks at all.

Mine is useful and seems accurate. I just looked, and the top two apps are the ones I’ve been using for the past two hours. I have a Pixel 7 Pro. What phone do you have? Your numbers do seem useless.
