I was studying French too (I really should get back into it). My plan was to learn all of the most used vocabulary, the grammar and then aggresively use the language. Read books, watch YouTube videos, chat with folk online. Best way to learn a language is to use it.

I don’t see it. More probable is moving to i2p and onion adresses.

Epic might be most extreme example of the three, it has at least four periods that might as well be completely different companies.

I agree the name super sucks. Still really cool there was enough interest in this form factor to get a project like this going.

A lot of people miss physical keyboards actually F(x)Tec Pro¹ X has a physical keyboard. There is a modern clone of Blackberry Passport. There is the Clicks keyboard case for iPhones.

I think I’m one of very few enthusiasts who likes software keyboards better at this point lol.

These phones don’t sell very well though, and the manufacturer can’t make more money from the userbase after the purchase on top of that. They pretty much have to overprice it.

As shitty as it is, at this point if you want to use a custom rom you basically have to buy a phone that was made with them in mind.

You can get a feature phone, pretty much all of them are smaller than a modern smartphone.

I wish his solution worked.

Javascript was a mistake.

Wait, is that a problem with usenet?

Just use deGoogled Chrome. Using Firefox is just a pain and the project has no future, the suits will just extract everything they can from it until there is nothing left. I hope Ladybird changes things.

I haven’t seen a single other budget or midrange phone with this problem.

Honestly at this rate my next phone will be a feature phone. There is a lot I love about my Poco X7 Pro, but also a lot that I do not. And a lot of things seem to be getting worse.

Doing that becomes harder and harder as time goes by. When I was shopping for a new Android phone I couldn’t find one that was recent enough and also had custom rom support of any kind. I know there are smartphones specifically built to be friendly towards custom roms and Linux but those are only available in Europe and North America.

Shizuku and Canta hands down, debloating my phone greatly increased my battery life.

Librera is a pretty good ebook reader.

KISS Launcher is the best launcher bar none.

Of course KeePassDX is a great password manager.

ThumbKey is the best software keyboard I’ve ever used, nothing else even comes close.

There is a platformer called Obsolete in Play Store. I only played a little of it at the moment but so far it’s pretty good.

Streets of Rage 4 has a mobile port. Also Retro City Rampage DX.

Even if it could it wouldn’t matter, what makes art so valuable is the amount of work put into it. It’s the highest effort form of communication you can imagine, it can express so much. An LLM chat bot could never do that.

That’s also a very good use case, but KISS is just the perfect launcher for me. I can get to litteraly anything just by typing it’s name. Apps, contacts, settings, search results, a new tab, a new incognito tab, sometimes specific app functions. You can use it as a calculator too, it’s perfect. No amount of praise can do KISS justice in my opinion.
