Oh god no they suck tremendously…I’m using heliboard and live with the somewhat janky performance.

It was the exact same om my oneplus 9pro i had before this one.

And it hasn’t been any different between android 14 that I was on until a few days ago and 15 I have now without improvement.

Its a pixel 8a with plenty of ram and vanilla android…

That’s weird. When I install keyboards I don’t notice slowdowns but rather improvements due to the mainstream solutions being extremely bloated.

I use heliboard, and it’s definitely lagging compared to default google KB when typing on my phone.

Must have been picked back up then, I recall it not having any commits for something like 6 months

Is it still being actively developed? I ditched it a while back because it seemed to have been abandoned It hadn’t received any activity for several months and was working really janky.

I would reall love to have an open source watch, but unfortunately both the pinetime and bangle.js 2 lack severely in the activity tracking, which is the primary reason for me to have a smart watch.

I’m not sure how the screen is on the pinetime, but on the bangle.js 2 it’s surprisingly bad. Not a deal breaker by itself, but combined with a sort of limping experience on other parts, it’s not a good product (yet).

Yeah it doesn’t really seem provide any useful functionality.

I do this with ebooks from them. Just download the epub, strip the DRM, return immediately so someone else can read it and i have my DRM-free offline copy for whenever i have time to read it.

This is when piracy is no longer the more convenient option.

Pretty sure “a plague” is referencing covid here, so it’s already on the list

My most jarring experience was with a waiter, he asked “English or French?” When I entered the restaurant, I answered “English please” and he just shook his head and said “no”…like, why would you ask then!?

I’ve traveled quite a bit to different places in France within the past few years, both large an small cities, and the vast majority of people i meet, even younger people (<30), have either so bad English skills that they are really hard to communicate with, or none at all. Meeting someone in France with proper English skill is definitely the exception rather than the rule IME.
