I appreciate that. This does look like good news!

Possibly. I use Firefox focus with Safari to block content. Odd that it’s never happened before though. I’ve had this setup for several years now.

Edit: it works fine on my desktop!

Check your autocorrect....

You probably have some sort of blocker. Everything related to sentry is usually blocked either by ublock, adguard or pi hole

Edit: stupid phone autocorrected corrections

1/2 of the money was distributed through here https://thanks.dev/o/sentry-261019

The rest went to foundations like Python, Django and Rust, and individual projects like FFmpeg, jellyfin and FreeCAD.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m in Ireland and on mobile (iOS, so Safari and Firefox). I’ll try on desktop when I can.

The link doesn’t open for me.

It does for me.

(I'm in Canada, FWIW.)

The link doesn’t open for me. In the past I would automatically celebrate this but until I know they’re not donating to fashware FOSS I’ll hold off.

Awwww, yisss... it's happening!

StreetComplete is being released for iOS now! Already available as beta.

I totally missed the import function, that's a really really nice trick right there!

I missed a bunch apparently lol.

The big thing that makes me jump through hoops to keep Swype over anything else is the detection and prediction accuracy for my fumble fingers. It really is a me thing, as I've seen other people do way better than I can manage on others. But it keeps my arthritis fingers and dyslexic brain able to type faster than I can on a regular physical keyboard.

I'm going to try yours again when I have something lengthy to write, because that's where a keyboard matters the most for me.

No joke though, I am very pleasantly surprised at how close yours gets to Swype. Floris is maybe a tad closer, but I've also spent more time with it so far, so that's maybe a less fair comparison. I don't know how the glide detection and prediction works under the hood, but I know that a ton of keyboards outright suck at it. Tbh, gboard has gotten worse in that regard when I'm forced to use it. So you're out doing a giant corporation, and that's no joke.

it can be. if you're looking for something for browsing, watching video/listening to music, wee bit of coding/writing it works well. it has a few applications that the BSDs don't. I like the floorp web browser and none of the BSDs have that packaged, Haiku does.

it's VERY easy to install, VERY quick to install.

Developer here, thanks for your concern, Lite now has quite good feature parity using open models, as you suggested. In 0.6.3, and yes it doesn't work quite as well as Google but some are damn close with others good enough

Yes, you can add two languages then in your primary language link the other one under the Also suggest from setting and it'll suggest both languages at once

Here's a list

Initially, it did have some focus on typing in the Bangla language since I, the developer, am from Bangladesh. But now in later versions, that focus was also given to other languages and those Bangla focused working or tone have stayed and need to be updated

Hi, this is the author of wmkeyboard. Thanks for the detailed write-up. Here are my thoughts:

Yes, it is designed as a kitchen sink, or rather, it's turned out that way due to improper planning. I'm in the process of streamlining things a bit more, and there are still a few things to iron out. And yes, some people like this and some don't; I'm someone who does. I initially built this keyboard only for myself and shared it, not anticipating that it would get the traction it is getting right now. And yes, I have already thought about moving things to be purely opt-in, like plugins, and I was just working on that before reading your comment. You can also make the wmkeyboard suggestion bar scroll to the side with this setting and you can edit not only symbols layout but any layout and screen in the keyboard, even things like the handwriting input panel or the emoji panel or number input or anything else. It also has a visual layout editor which I believe heliboard and Florisboard lack and also I don't think they allow changing the other layouts that wmkeyboard does. Oh, also, you can import settings, layouts, themes, etc., from Heliboard, Florisboard, and more for easier switching.

But this comes in a not too distant third. That’s saying a lot from me.

Yes that is saying a lot about you and your ability to utilise this keyboard. Most of the user reviews I've heard say that they've been using multiple keyboards including the ones you mentioned and this one is the best they've tried

Also I've taken note of the overly cumbersome settings navigation and onboarding and will make them more easy and straightforward in the future

My motive for liking this article is that I initially moved off of Windows onto Linux due to the Recall drama and AI getting shoved in. And now a lot of AI-generated code is going into the Linux kernel. So I was wondering if there were any viable alternatives. I'm not looking for alternatives for clout or to show how much of a genius I am compared to all those normies. I'd actually prefer if there was a popular alternative that matched my requirements, especially since because I'm not a genius. More users = more people asking and answering different support questions = it's easier for me to self-solve any problem that occurs without investing all the hours needed to become an expert.

(If none of them have enough documentation or compatible needed applications for my non-expert self, I was going to go with Gentoo, and if I still cannot figure that out, any Linux distribution is still probably better than Windows or Apple on 1) preloading generative artificial intelligence features onto the OS and making them hard to take out and 2) not training AI on your data.)

Also, it is nice to find out about people making other options. Right now I was mostly under the impression there were three options: Windows, MacOS, and the many Linux distributions. I figured there were a few niche OSes out there. This article makes them more "real" to me. In a society where our choices are increasingly being narrowed to a few brands, and alternatives to the big guys keep getting acquired, I like to see different options existing, that people invested their time and love into these cool projects. (Yes, I do understand that Windows and MacOS are the big guys and Linux is much smaller from a non-server-admin viewpoint.)

I'm sure there are other genuine motives for liking the article as well, as opposed to clout-chasing ones.

Would like to hear more about your Haiku experience. Is it a decent daily driver?

edit: https://www.haiku-os.org/about/faq

Can I use Haiku as my primary Operating System?

Yes! Although the OS is still considered “beta”, it is reasonably stable and can be used to perform most daily tasks such as browsing the web writing and reading e-mails, or listening to music and watching videos. We strongly recommend that you make backups of your personal files regularly.

Can Haiku connect to the Internet?

Yes! We reuse network drivers from FreeBSD, so most network adapters will work on Haiku out of the box. Haiku includes an e-mail client and a web browser, and you can install other network-enabled applications.

Only recently got the new macOS and its hideous. On iOS it is fine i think, especially as apps are more streamlined there anyways. The effect is pretty but that is the problem on macOS, its mostly used for low priority navigation buttons like the back button and completely fucks with the hierarchy. At least that is my explanation for why things look so weird there.

Switched to Debian/Android and never looked back. Best thing about it is that I can finally use standards again and dont have to go around those artificial road blocks that Apple has put up.

It's a Unix clone. Originally, Berkeley licensed Unix source code from AT&T and built upon it, but then anyone who wanted to use it needed to pay a ton of money to AT&T. So they rebuilt it without any of the original code and gave it away under the BSD license.

Berkeley hasn't released an update in 3 decades though, so it lives on through forks.

Different BSD forks have their own package managers. I would imagine they all have dependency resolution, otherwise a package manager is kinda pointless.

Nvidia has drivers for FreeBSD and I believe so does AMD. So it's really mostly a question of whether your networking and sound are supported

Me too. I'm still on macOS 15 because I can't stand the mess they did with Liquid Ass on macOS 26+.

I'll just move to Linux Mint in a few months...

You know, I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough in BSD stuff, other than it's another Unix-like system like Linux. Or is it an actual Unix distro?

What's the difference between the various BSDs out there?

How are software packages managed? Is it through a package manager? Does it have dependency resolution like Apt does?

It must be hard to find supported drivers for BSD no?

The team states no proprietary Windows code is copied or transcribed.

But what if they have looked at it before?
