    This is the future I want. I will keep fighting for it. But my braveheart pinephone is showing it's age. And I need it to be dependable for pagerduty etc, or else have some other a…

    It doesn’t have to be 17 years old though. I think the point he’s making is that it’s still solving problems for him. I have one that’s 12 years old. It just does what I need to. P…

    I still appreciate the precision of being able to explicitly describe what I want to type. I also appreciate that this is all running on your machine.

    Talon is such an exceptional piece of software. I’ve donated to the project for a few years now. I’m so grateful software like this exists, that it’s cross platform, and that it’s …
