oh it was kind of buried so i couldn't find it, thank you very much!

I actually just installed this the other day, weird coincidence. It works great though! I've tested it with my personal collection and random music on the radio at public locations.

I just use a Kindle 3 in airplane mode. Closest it's ever come to failing me was the battery going kaput and even then it's easily replaceable. These things last forever, and you can get then for like 25-30 dollars! Just load books on from you computer and enjoy yer reading. Recommend it for sure. Just make sure you pretend it has no internet functionality. (I've looked far and wide and I just cannot find something with the same level of analog functionality as the kindle 3. The physical keyboard is wonderful, and no touch screen is great imo)

thanks for making me aware of this, it's pretty great! the swiping is definitely iffy overall but certainly better than nothing! im mainly just sad that it's missing my beloved proper black and gray holo theme... sad...

ahh, yeah swipe typing is really tough to inplement well without data collection. i used to use it a lot back before i completely degoogled and id be lying if i said i didnt miss it. i honestly just couldn't find any foss keyboards at all that had swipe typing!

I assume you must've tried openboard. What issues did you have with it? The predictions have been more than satisfactory in my experience.

It looks like what they were trying to convey is apparently that it can be a large time and effort commitment that most people don't have the technical expertise to figure out, which is a fairly reasonable argument in some contexts, but I do not think they conveyed it very well and they're being kind of a dick about it in the replies, so idk. I understand the point, but this is NOT the way to get it across.

Honestly its my rule of thumb just to not use anything that I see sponsor multiple youtube videos that isnt DIRECTLY related to the content.

Something like invidious and libreddit but for tumblr. Its currently borderline impossible to use tumblr without am account and it drives me NUTS! Ive been tempted to pay somebody for this at this point, im so desperate lmao

This isn't even to mention the other many ways we're constantly actively contributing to the deaths of birds through suburbia, even indirectly. Aside from the obvious stuff like getting rid of the trees they inhabit in the rare urban areas, we even kill them in the places they can live, by having "outdoor cats" as if they arent an invasive species. Letting them predate on the local bird population can be hugely detrimental!

Long, exasperated sigh
