Have you tried fcitx with the Anthy plugin? I use that for Japanese.

Same. The UI is pretty good and modern, they support TOPT and cards as well and the development is being done at a good pace.

I used an app called Noice from F-Droid which has a lot of pleasant background noises (including white noises which I sometimes use while sleeping). One update, the author suddenly added internet permission, pulled out all the noise music files from the app and put them behind a server. Now it only works if you have an active internet connection OR you buy a premium.

Thankfully, I still have the last “good” version.

Do open an issue on GitHub for whatever you feel needs work. This project is being actively worked upon, I’ve seen stuff get implemented within a day even!

Have you tried this active fork of OpenBoard? The dev added support for multilingual typing months ago. This has Material You theme as well as glide typing (needs to be turned on manually).

Great list! One suggestion: Try Helium’s OpenBoard fork for keyboard. It has tons of features like full Material You theming, glide typing, multilingual language support as well as autocorrect and suggestion support. I’ve been waiting for autocorrect to be added in FlorisBoard for more than an year now.

The Gallery is also the most feature-rich one in FOSS with even a video editor. Couldn’t find any other FOSS video editors out there.

That’s a video transcoder. Simple Gallery could crop videos, trim videos, merge them, add filters, text, music and what not. Good thing it’s forked by one of the devs who plans to maintain it.

It doesn’t have a video editor AFAIK. Any FOSS video editors around?

Yeah that seems plausible.

YouTube has also started attaching a Share ID of sorts:

The “si” query parameter is the tracker in question.

Presumably, it has your user ID embedded in it so all your efforts to concele your identity by using anon IDs on Lemmy/Reddit/Twitter etc routing through VPNs Tor whatnot can be shattered with a single share of a YouTube video. Plus, they can track and associate users with each other based on who all opened your link.

On iOS, unlike Android, Firefox doesn’t come with extensions. No ads are blocked. Even if I use Safari and Adguard extension, it doesn’t block YouTube ads. Brave works like a charm in this regard. I’ve opted out of all telemetry stuff that I could find, and btw even Firefox opts into everything by default. Any other open source browser you can suggest that blocks ads including YouTube on iOS?

They need to noobify that prompt further, something like “Yes, break my system!”. Even Linus wouldn’t fall for that (I hope)!

There’s a fork of OpenBoard with gesture typing. Finally made me switch.

Check out Fluent Reader, it’s the best looking and the most featureful RSS reader I know of on Linux. Does have a common view as well.

I was shocked when my friend from India told me that for 400 Mbps up and down, he pays only $14/month. Limit: 3.3 TB per month.

Yeah it’s not on F-Droid so word of mouth it is!

It’s not on F-Droid, likely because the swipe implementation that they’ve injected doesn’t have an OSS license. There’s a whole discussion on it in this thread. There’s no privacy issue here as the fork also doesn’t have network permissions or anything, but I can see why they’d be skeptical adding this piece of code to the main repo which has a proper FOSS license.

I’ve found this fork of OpenBoard quite useful. It enables glide/swipe typing which works perfectly imo and has great word predictions and autocorrect as well. Do try it out and see if it changes anything for you.
