I’m sure you’re not a piece of shit, but by still having a Twitter account equals to supporting the platform and its owner (a proven piece of shit). Even if you’re not giving it any traffic by being logged in or following users (which you’re doing), you’d be giving it your support.

By unfollowing your sports people and quitting the shithole altogether you’re sending a clear message that the platform is dying (it’s already dead for many) and it’s high time for people to find alternatives.

Thank you for finding the source. Well, at least he backed down on the pedophilia thing.

As always a source of some kind is appreciated.

It has the MessagEase layout supported as well.

Well, quite easily because the amount of irritation that this move caused greatly exceeded the benefits of the product. Even if typing on mobile is now somewhat clunkier and more taxing mentally whether using thumb-key or Gboard.

Yeah… It could’ve been one solution because in practice the app was pretty much unmaintained anyway.

This is wholesome in a strange way.

Ok, I think this has some way to go still. Compared to MessagEase quite a bit of features are missing (the combine button which gives instant access to a whole lot of special characters, many settings, also do I have to press # to access numbers, etc). That said, I’ll keep this installed and hopefully contribute to its development if I can.

Definitely not a con! Now testing thumb-key and it seems quite promising. Just need to get a Finnish layout (or umlauts) going…

Thanks, but these seem they’re adhering to Gboard experience rather than MessagEase.

Actually I just found out about thumb-key that seems to fit the bill perfectly. In theory at least.

I know I couldn’t.

If you have to ask, maybe not. But if you’re mostly “keyboard driven”, code and edit files a lot, it’s (vim or neovim) very much worth trying out.

Learn a memory technique. Start with Major system and go on from there. If you keep going, on the next long flight you’ll be happily creating new memory palaces or revisiting the old ones. All in your mind, no electronic devices needed.

They’re not only fun but useful as well.

a mobile app that doesn’t annihilate battery with ridiculously excessive cpu use and keepalive requests

Speaking of which, how on Earth it’s such a slug these days? I pretty much quit Reddit when the protest started and moved to Lemmy. I never used any other Android app since I was reasonably happy with the official app. However, when I launched it to check how my old subs fared, I was quite surprised at how slow, laggy and bloated POS it had come.

I honestly don’t remember it being this crappy just a few weeks ago.
