minus-squareamearb@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoDoes FlorisBoard have controversial shit too?
minus-squaredustyData@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoNo, but they are forever beta. They still lack a ton of features I use.
minus-squareKami@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoAnything on HeliBoard too?
minus-squaredustyData@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·10 months agoThe only thing I dislike of heliboard is their swipe function requires Google binaries. Most FOSS keyboards either lack some feature I use or are immersed in wild controversies.
minus-squareuninvitedguest@piefed.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoAnd the implementation is nowhere as good as gboard. Futo’s keyboard isn’t much better for slide to type. I find myself switching keyboards back to gboard when I’m not using voice to text or two thumbs.
minus-squareKami@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoI mean, I can’t complain about HeliBoard’s swiping feature, especially considering the alternatives.

minus-squarediffaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoMay I recommend Thumbkey its awesome and a bit different from other keyboards. Its concept is interesting ✨
minus-squarebalance8873@lemmy.myserv.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoIt looks neat but what an absolutely stupid take from a keyboard author Because it trusts you to write what you meant to write. Butch if I didn’t let it correct me I’d have to actually mook st the keyboard and who the fuck wants to do thatm. Phones are tiny and humans are clumsy. I absolutely never mean what I type, as you can see above.
minus-squarekrolden@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down2·10 months agoJust use Gboard and block any google telemetry
minus-squareMotoAsh@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoGood luck with that on anything that has a locked boot loader or stock OS.
minus-squarekrolden@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoJust use wireguard and block all connections that aren’t going over VPN. Ezpz Also if you’re on a stock device then you’re already feeding them plenty of data
minus-squareMotoAsh@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoUsing a VPN does absolutely nothing to protect from their apps scraping up and phoning home telemetry. It’s still YOUR phone. It’s still YOUR GPS location. It’s still YOUR data connection. A VPN is not a catch-all solution to privacy.

minus-squareMotoAsh@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoThat’s literally not how VPNs work nor are you aware of what you’re talking about.
