It's intentional

What does this have to do with piracy?

Running obfuscated commands from forums on the internet.

"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux."

The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even you were correct, you wont be for long."

With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

Why do they feel so entitled for everything?

Why can't they stop adding all this bullshit and just improve their browser?

Qksms for messaging. Material Files for file management.

Ironically piracy actually costs more than streaming if you intend to preserve media.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the shaman they recently hired

I cannot believe "people" like this actually exist

Quick Cursor. Not FOSS, but it is a huge quality of life improvement now that phones screens are getting bigger over time. It displays a virtual joystick which functions similar to a mouse to reach all areas of the screen during one-handed use. This is basically essential for phones with huge screens.

What did they remove this time?

Many

Teenagers care about retarded things like this. Big surprise.

How often do you find torrents with active seeds?

Apple doesn't have a mascot, so gnome doesn't have one either.

I love how they act hostile to users and developers of other projects and pretend to be surprised when the same is reciprocated to them

Ksnip is basically a drop-in replacement for greenshot for Linux.

Does anyone believe taking notes makes them smarter?

This might be the most low quality post I've ever seen

Florisboard has many good features and is insanely customizable which are not present in AnySoftKeyboard. The only thing lacking as of now is the inferior swipe typing and word suggestions.

I tried AnySoftKeyboard again as it's been a while since I used it and here are my thoughts.

  • FlorisBoard has a lot of small things that can make interacting with text easier. You can have a toolbar in addition to the number row which has buttons for copy, paste, select all, cut and paste. This eliminates the need for long pressing text to invoke these actions. There's a layout called "Quick Text Editing" in ASK but that disables the number row. This is quite a deal breaker.

  • It also has a clipboard manager which was missing in ASK.

  • You can add a secondary toolbar which has buttons for undo and redo. This is one of the most useful feature for me. It allows you to, well, undo and redo text basically everywhere. This is helpful since text input fields don't have a way to undo and redo text. It can be a lifesaver in many occasions.

  • Swiping left/right on the spacebar is faster and feels natural compared to ASK's one character movement per swipe. Swiping from one end of the spacebar to the other end moves the cursor by many number of letters depending on speed. On ASK swiping from one end to other moves the cursor by only one letter.

  • You can create custom themes on FlorisBoard locally by editing a few variables. This is not a huge thing but it might be useful.

  • In FlorisBoard long pressing letters inserts symbols instead of variations of the letter.

Of course most of these are small and won't concern most people, but these are good quality of life additions for me.

What features does it have that aren't present in AnySoftKeyboard?

I wrote a long reply to another comment in this thread. You can check it.

By word suggestions do you mean autocorrect?

Word suggestions when you type a few letters. But yes it's autocorrect is severely lacking.

Is there some way to get rid of the massive utility row?

I believe it's called "smart bar". It can be disabled.

Or customize long press length?

Yes

Or have only punctuatiom symbols on the period and numbers in the qwerty row?

I don't know about this.

Why not?

They have no intention of sparing a thought for anything that isn't gnome. It's a shame considering their corporate funding and influence over the linux desktop.

Isn't it only for gtk 4 applications?

And how do you make friends on these sites?

Hot take: Mozilla should stop with the political nonsense and spend their resources on improving Firefox.

Human ego is quite fascinating

The problem with mozilla is they forget about their browser and completely ignore it. It's almost like even they have given up on firefox...

People like you are insane

I didn't say pronouns are political. The drama you and your people make around pronouns is political.
