QWERTY keyboard. 2/10

I cannot authorize a vertical primary terminal.

as a secondary monitor viewing logs, sure. but primary, no way

[-] beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Goldmaster@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

Looks like a palm pre.

Where did you get the keyboard case from?

[-] rikonium@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day 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.)

9/10 With Ubuntu Touch for instance it would be a 10/10. Good Job!1!!

I need my GrapheneOS! I can't ever go back.

[-] StopA@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 23 hours ago

Graphen without any Google services is a excellent option.

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

[-] cobysev@lemmy.world 44 points 3 days 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.

[-] morto@piefed.social 42 points 3 days ago

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 1 day 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 1 day ago

It also works for words you have typed before

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

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Same here, all nice and good when it's English, but then switch to Hungarian or Slovak and shit breaks fast

Marvellous, but shouldn't this be on UnixPorn ?

[-] elements@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days 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 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[-] LorIps@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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

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.
