    Looks incredibly cool, although it ran at ~4 tok/s on my browser (I assume because I've disabled V8). I believe your numbers though. I always wanted to try using something like thi…

    Not sure Jolla deserves to be trusted, you'd be much better off with GrapheneOS. In any case, try out SimpleX for a messenger. You can also take a look at https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com…

    I agree, it's by far the best mobile keyboard I've ever tried. I especially love the shortcuts for copy/paste/select all/cut which send the actual Ctrl-C. I can finally use termina…

    I can't see what's wrong with that (you choose whether to accept suggestions or not), but you can always blacklist predictions by long-pressing on them.

    FUTO keyboard actually has an option for this (enabled by default) called "Smart key-hit detection". It adjusts hitboxes based on dictionary predictions for what you just typed.

    I'm using Colemak on my phone, but can't get used to it on my desktop, so I'm stuck with QWERTY! :D

    Back when I was using QWERTY with Microsoft SwiftKey, I used to swipe a bit, but it never really felt comfortable for me. I've tried swiping again after switching to Colemak on my …

    I'm Greek too and I got 81 (well technically I misclicked one in a hurry, would've been 82). It did help a bit though. Surprisingly enough I've learnt many of the more advanced wor…

    Yep, I've used both. Desktop mode isn't exactly there yet, but hopefully with the general availability it will get with Android 17, it'll smoothen out. As for the Linux terminal I …

    Depends. One of the reasons I stopped using Spotify was because its offline mode refused to work when my device had all radios off (who even thought of this?). Once I turned on Wi-…

    Yes IPC is definitely a security hole, but because the two apps communicating need to both explicitly support it (I really doubt there'd be an exploitable vulnerability here of all…

    Funnily enough, the Huawei P30 Pro I was using previously (back when these things could run Android with GMS) had network toggles for all apps. They weren't in the permissions menu…

    I guess that makes sense, since it's pretty new. OpenSnitch is great software in terms of functionality but I find the UI lacking. If LittleSnitch can keep the same functionality, …

    This is excellent, both educationally and from a UX standpoint! I've tried multiple times to read explanations on how transistors work and bounced off, but this time I think I've f…

    Yeah, my old MacBook got really laggy and the fans were spinning hard. Still worth it!

    If that's what you call a democracy, sure... I don't think most people will agree with you though.

    The same argument could be said for other age verification methods. Nothing stops a kid from getting their older cousin to verify their identity for something and it will never be …

    Owned by Russia? How'd you reach that conclusion? Just take a look at the sanctions imposed on them and the US support for Ukraine in the war. Also: it seems you've fallen into the…

    IMO ever since the EV3, LEGO's robotics hardware has been on a downfall, being much less open and more focused on "connect it to your tablet with Bluetooth to do some basic program…

    As someone who has been learning robotics as a hobby for a decade, my advice is: forget all the buzzwords and what the industry is using and start small instead. I started robotics…

    I agree. I've seen quite a few AUR packages built that way and I'm using a few myself too. The end user shouldn't be expected to do this though! :D

    I totally agree. This is the fundamental reason I've stayed off there until now. I'm not about to tie my permanent identity to a domain which I might not own tomorrow. And did:plc …
