Nah, you’re all good, this has been a lovely conversion and I’ve appreciated your extra info :)

I hope you have a good day my friend 😊

Oof… I don’t find that as long or intense of a pattern as with brave but the behaviour to reach out and repeatedly bug the guy about his small blog post reflects strangely and poorly on his character :/ I had no idea kagi kinda came with baggage as well.

And yeah, it definitely is. Thats part of why I try really hard not to let perfect be the enemy of good. There is no perfect, and I still want to be involved in good where I can, to the extent that there is good available.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share a ton of additional context. I often have a hard time keeping in the loop about things and if I’m going to use imperfect things because I think they’re better than the alternative, then I want to at least pay attention to and understand their imperfections

Thank you!

And yeah the fact that brave sucks so god damn much is frustrating. Brave is the best independent search engine with their own index (of the free options) in my opinion. At some point I need to try searx and kagi, but I prefer an independent engine rather than a meta search engine, and am broke as fuck 😅

If I understand correctly they’re actually not directly a Mozilla project or something anymore. They’re loosely connected, but not actually run by Mozilla.

Wasn’t sure if there were better places to post this, feel free to cross-post if you know other fitting communities :)

While I do think the point about forking is true, it is worth acknowledging that the gecko engine is
a) very behind other browsers in terms of implemented functionality and standards, and
b) I’ve seen devs say on multiple occasions that because of the wide range of platforms it has officially supported over time (or other reasons), the codebase has become very hard to work with and apparently it’s really hard to add new standards to it

That definitely adds a bit more context still. Thank you for the additional information.

I don’t know much about either of the first two people, but I do know lunduke and think he’s gross (if you have context on the first two you’re welcome to share but no obligation to of course :)

Though, I’m also a fan of futo and Louis Rossman. I try to air on the side of being able to appreciate people doing good work even if I don’t agree with everything they do or think. People come from different backgrounds and not everyone will see the world the way I do, or be sensitive to the pain caused by the issues that affect me personally 🤷‍♂️

I wasn’t aware of anything along those lines, but reading through the whole thread of discussion was interesting.

Things seem ambiguous currently I’ll have to keep an eye on that issue, I appreciate you mentioning it

The part with the progress graph compared to other browsers over time is especially cool!

Do you just use a different chromium based browser, or are you out here rocking Ladybird caude you’re cooler than the rest of us

I guess WebKit is a more likely option

I use Firefox but I can’t say I love the way mozilla manages their projects 😅 I’m hopeful something like ladybird will eventually, someday, be a viable replacement

That’s not really a thing neoliberals say…

They definitely complain about the tankies being a big part of the culture of Lemmy, and housing some of the biggest communities, but the statement in the comic isn’t even remotely a thing neolibs or the .world demographic says

So this comic kinda just feels like a strange, confusing straw man…

This is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen 🥺

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

That’s a damn fine URL. Thanks for sharing ❤️

Dope, thanks for sharing!

Do it! Community projects only happen when a community makes it happen. Developing an app that has to engage with someone else’s back end is difficult and they could probably use the help

If they don’t like your commit, you can ask them why in case its something easy to fix, and if you can’t make them happy then fork the project

Yeah, I’m not actually sure where the issue is. It only happens for me with openboard, but also only happens in Jerboa. It seems more likely a jerboa issue since it apparently also happens with the AOSP keyboard that openboard is based on, but the distinction may not matter to someone who’s just looking for a good keyboard app

I’ve been meaning to open a bug report in the repo for openboard and jerboa so it can get sorted, but haven’t done so yet

Open board has an active fork here: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

It has typing suggestions, backspace and space bar gestures, and now some custom theming. Though it does have a weird bug with backspace behavior in the jerboa app- so does the original openboard and aosp keyboard that openboard is based on.

Its not available on f-droid, though hopefully that’ll change in the future, but you can install the apk from the releases tab on github, or you can use obtainium to do that for you and it’ll let you know when there’s a new release
