Super awesome! I was looking at this, but don't want a new phone right now

[-] Forester@pawb.social 3 points 16 hours ago

That keyboard is cancer, I would love that if I could pull it out from landscape but brother eeehw. The pixel is already long enough.

[-] Goldmaster@lemmy.ml 7 points 19 hours ago

Looks like a palm pre.

Where did you get the keyboard case from?

[-] rikonium@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 11 hours ago

It's a Clicks keyboard case, got some long-timers in the mobile journalism space involved and looks pretty neat. I'd have gotten one but no model for my 13 mini personally but they support a number of iPhone and Android models. (minor caveat but USB-C iPhone's have to toggle between data and power I believe - or something like that for the USB-C port built-in.)

Marvellous, but shouldn't this be on UnixPorn ?

[-] elements@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I open this app to promote my signal groupchats; I am unaware of most communities here. think I'll cross post it there with your recommendation.

[-] biotin7@sopuli.xyz 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Not saying that you shouldn't post here, this type of post suit that kind of community more

Android is a Linux derivative, the Kernel is still licensed under GPLv2.

I wish physical keyboards would come back. I suck at touchscreen ones

[-] cobysev@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

I used to hate touchscreen keyboards, but then I learned about swipe-to-text. Now I can swipe words on a digital keyboard faster than I can type them on a physical keyboard. I can't go back to pressing individual keys now unless it's on a desktop computer keyboard.

[-] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 17 points 1 day ago

I switch between three languages. Swiping is ass in my case.

[-] Ascense@lemmy.zip 2 points 21 hours ago

I use swiping with Finnish/English/Swedish and it mostly works well enough, usually only very short words cause issues, but those I can just manually type anyway.

I use swipe too, but it often gives me the wrong words, and I have to manually type what I want. Also, it only works for dictionary words.

[-] rikonium@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 hours ago

In Apple-land there's bizarre quirks that are in the swipe-typing function too. Try swiping out "white woman" or "black woman" for example and it "corrects" it to the same incorrect phrase ("whites woman" or "black roman") every time despite getting it right originally.

It's a huge shame that (in my humble opinion) peak touchscreen typing was a decade ago when I used Windows Phone 8.1. It's been a slow decline since that only became apparent in the past couple (maybe few) years to me.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

It also works for words you have typed before

Great one, love it! But I would recommend UserLAnd instead of Termux🥰

[-] sylphio@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 hours ago

Is UserLAnd still maintained? Assuming I found the right forge, the last activity is 4 years old. While I agree that a piece of software can simply be finished, I worry about compatibility in the moving ecosystem of Android.

[-] elements@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Never heard of that. I'll try it out, but let me know the differences.

[-] kerm@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Hello!! The difference between UserLAnd and Termux is that UserLAnd does not force you to use only one distro (ex. Package Manager and etc.) like Termux - Termux uses apt with their own Repo's that might not have new package versions. Using UserLAnd, you could install any distro on your phone! Kind of like it.. It feels right how it should be😇

Didn't think I'd make it this far, don't know what to say lol

[-] morto@piefed.social 38 points 1 day ago

I like the idea of a physical keyboard, but I hate the idea of making my phone even bigger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
