Check out Heliboard (also on F-Droid) and follow the instructions to enable gesture typing. I also suggest Futo for on-device voice to text.
What specific apps are you using that you can’t deal going away from? Other than some social media or gamr or something. Even then it seems like there are replacements a lot of the time
This is what I landed on, really happy with it. Sync super fast, keeps adding features, clean UI, great WYSIWYG rich text, and dead simple imports. Plus they regularly do discounts, so even the low cost gets lower. Way better than the headache of SN or whatever else is out there
iPhones tend to send close to the same types of info back home. When started, idle, inserting a SIM, on the settings screen, even when not logged in. Like, its very similar even when you look at comprehensive lists which a lot of people either don’t know or ignore. I’m not saying that there aren’t specific benefits or reasons to feel more comfortable with Apple. But saying its because they intrinsically are more private, I feel like that’s a bridge too far
Just don’t use a window envelope
Anything by Andy Weir, he’s basically juvenile fiction with really good ideas and research
We must have been alone but we called it Egg-Toastie-O’s

I live at a place where I needed Starlink so I feel entitled to comment.
Ordered, and it took 6-7mo to allow me to start. In the meantime T-Mobile Home Internet let me start immediately. I kept both because when one had issues the other would be better (storms, updates, tower maintenance, downtime, Russian attacks, etc). But I noticed that Starlink kept getting worse. Lower speed, worse jitter/ping/bufferbloat/etc. it would routinely fail to hit 100mbps down with good sky view, mounted to a pergola. TMHI would routinely be above 250mbps, and I move to using it more often. Eventually a local ISP got a grant to roll out FttH in my area and I got rid of both.
It’s been a bit over a year since then, maybe things got better. But I noticed Starlink overselling their nodes, being non-communicative for support issues, and missing these easily attainable FCC goals to people that often have much less options than I did. There’s no reason for them to get absolutely wiped by a cell phone tower. Hope they made enough by packing on customers, because they just lost $900m
Check out koreader to put another OS on there. Might be what you’re looking for
Broadcast that we’ve discovered a cheap and hilariously effective FTL but to kick it off requires us to collapse the vacuum decay. We’re willing to do it and relocate to the other side of the universe, but we don’t want to destroy everything if anyone is around. Answer quick, we’re packing
If I understand it right, it’s not a laser shooting heat into space. It doesn’t require a clear sky to function. It’s just moving the heat effectively away from itself by bypassing the atmospheric insulation, wherever that might be. And that goes for pointing it as well, except you wouldn’t really want it under direct sun for best heat transfer

Or, given 10 million years head start plus building time, you could use a Caplan Thruster stellar engine to make that 100% sure
On display you’ve got it bashed by turbo bright florescent or LED retail lights, same as on review videos. In real life you just almost never have that environment, and almost never notice it.
The hinge is probably the most sturdy thing on the whole phone, more than the screen itself. If you’re around a lot of sand or pocket dust, maybe this isn’t the right phone or you need to be careful about cleaning the gaps regularly, but otherwise that’s not a problem
The OS let’s you run up to 5 apps simultaneously, split screen or floating, with two different navbars to call them up. It’s honestly the best multitasking on a mobile device period
They’re not the right device for everyone, but they’re much more ready for normal use than most people think
Aw man, I had no idea they sold
People make fun of Enya’s music but it’s really well produced and exactly what she likes to make. What a great life, making art you love, really well, never touring, and living with your cats in a castle
I love the idea, I much prefer it to the mainstream. The problem is, the typical process of documenting FOSS and self-host projects (websites, wiki, mailing lists, etc) move too slow and are too cumbersome for how quick things are developing right now. So people are kind of having to invent the new tech a d new ways to communicate about it, and they’re not always making choices that either scale or are easy to find and reference.
Okay, since you seem to be so helpful here, I’ll lay out where I’m at. I’ve been using LLMs like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Bard more professionally. I find them equal parts useful, confusing, annoying, and skeevey. I’ve got a lil VPS I run for services, I could put a front end on there easy. I’ve also got an old 8core Xeon machine with like 48GB ram and a leftover AMD R9 270 sitting there with Unraid barely installed. I can chamge the OS of course, but what am I realistically looking at being able to run locally that won’t go above like 60-75% usage so I can still eventually get a couple game servers, network storage, and Jellyfin working? I’ll be honest I don’t care about image generation much, but if I do I can always look into upgrading
