  • Removed

    FUTO Keyboard app

    Jump
  • For example, because its autocorrect in a multi-language setting is pretty bad (autocorrecting wrong language even if its manually switched).

  • Was wondering....

    If I would invest $10 a month .... How many computing power I could get ... For an Adnauseam-As-A-Service server ... And how many ad-budget that would vaporize?

    Would it make $100, $1000 or more ad budget worthless?

    Just curious what the numbers would be?

  • I wont say its color pallet is my cup of tea, but I find this intriguing nonetheless, well done.

  • Agree, also I never encountered other software so flexible in user interface. Every feature can be placed with panels everywhere to your own liking. The whole app interface is like a canvas. Took me a while to get the hang of it but after that ...

    Wished other apps were this flexible.

  • If you wouldnt mind getting rid of Google search entirely ... settings, search, select Google, remove. I assume there is nothing to pin after that?

  • Like Felt? https://felt.com/ Not free or anything and although OSM based I dont think their geo-stack is "open".

  • One of the few times I miss Files-on-demand for Win11. Connect an Office365 library with 500 GB to my laptop with an 128 GB harddrive. Integrates with file explorer, only caches local what you open, after a while you can "free space", meaning deleting local cache version. NextCloud has the same on Win11 because its an OS feature.

  • Sometimes I wish we could re-allocate half the dev hours poured in to the 10th txt/code editor, music player or terminal app in to this kind of thing.

  • Did you over engineer? Yes! Also: this is very cool!!

  • One example which was hard for me to remove, at least in bulk: contributions to Google Maps (photos). I also answered survey questions about POI and I dont think they can be removed at all.

    All before I discovered OSM....

  • But blender goose nunchuk paddleboat will forever live on as a very strong pass-sentence!

    1. It's not gdpr compliant in the way shown here or IAB TCF uses it.

    Legitimate interest is a sort failsafe which can be used to cover certain exceptions.

    • the datacontrollor must have an exceptional situation, so not on a regular basis.
    • the balance between personal and business interest must be considered carefully under case by case basis.
    • the dataprocessor isn't the one doing the consideration

    Automating all this is kind off against all the above.

  • I prefer another tactic if I may share:

    • Database in production: let Bitwarden clients sync the native way Bitwarden offers.
    • Database in backup: let a dedicated backup service keep your database save.

    I dont know if this could be done automatic (just backup the production database) or if this has to be done by export (by hand once in a while).

    Doesnt matter from which device the backup originates because the native sync will keep them all the same usually in seconds.

  • For my family my setup slightly different for reasons in other comments:

    • do change browsers away from Chrome or Edge
    • do change search engines
    • allow cookies
    • drop tracking surveillance traffic at the network level with something like pihole or nextdns
  • To understand correctly: You have friends that care about moving files of their mobile by sync? Or is their only concern switching to Signal, but the lack of backup besides on the device?

    Asking because:

    • I have the same solution as you but the android folders - foldersync - Nextcloud variant.
    • My motivation comes from privacy / sovereignty.
    • My friends lack this motivation so they are happy using the cloud (iCloud or Googles) to "backup" everything.
    • Any hassle by not using that needs strong motivation to endure and overcome.

    So when their photos are in the cloud and their documents stay happy in mail attachments often there isn't much more to backup besides configuration. Which all those bigphone (Samsung Lenovo Apple etc) suppliers provide.

    For the chat backup:

    • I got my whole family to switch to Signal (at least with me and for group chats, we have them for events and topics). The leverage I used was to only use Signal for baby photos of our newborn kids which my sisters and mom just couldn't live without. 😎
    • They complain about running out of local storage and not being able to bulk delete media in Signal.
    • As a workaround they sort by filesize and delete a dozen big files (eg video).
    • Or they leave a group, delete it along with media and join again.
    • I was surprised they don't care about the files after consuming it (foto video) and happy delete them.
    • After that ... the backup becomes small again.
