I appreciate you mentioning that, thats how I'm considering using the 5 if it ends up as my phone replacement, but I have a hard time interpreting the info around wireless frequency bandwidths supported 🙃 I like pretty user interfaces, networking hurts my brain

I'd already seen this video and really enjoyed it

I mean liberal and conservative aren't the same level of crappy in my eyes, but it is accurate to say corporate interests fund both of them. I think its reasonable to question how beholden both of them are to private interests

Gotcha. I missed that on their GitLab page, Thank you for pointing it out to me!

Futo Voice Input, and there are links in the post ☺️ Weirdly, it doesn't seem to be on Fdroid (yet?), but you can install it as an APK from their website.

I'm using it to type this comment and I REALLY like it! But I will say it tries to do punctuation for me, and that drives me nuts.

(Video is about an open source voice to text, input method for Android, by the way.)

I mean, in fairness, this is a reviewer. I think the obsession with everything being different than it used to be is mostly a consumer, marketing and reviewer thing. Designers certainly have a role to play in the problem too, though.

Like 7zip, or winrar if I remember right. Sometimes when torrenting something or getting ROMs for emulation I've come across archive formats that have given me a problem when I try to uncompress them

Material files and/or anemo are perfect for me. Wish material files could handle more kinds of compressed archives though, I have to keep a different app for those tasks

While that is fair, messaging is a bit more complicated since you kinda have to use what other people in your life are using, and almost all of the people I talk to regularly have RCS but not other chat services I'd rather use. If RCS was available outside of google messages I'd gladly use a third party RCS app.

Like I said, its great to have an account option if you can still use it without your google account via the QR code, but loosing a feature unless you use a google account would be a bummer.

To be totally honest it seems weird to me that people would be so invested in debating my preference to not have to use a google account. I was just expressing my personal disappointment that a feature might go away unless I link an account- do I really need to justify that? Can't I just be not-thrilled at something without people telling me I shouldn't feel that way, or that I'm unjustified? 🤷

Regardless, I hope you have a good day :)

RCS is the only way to get read receipts with most folks I know, and google messages is the only way to use RCS presently

Yes, I know. I'd like to have access to that feature without having to use my google account
