Yes, it saddens me greatly to see how far Reddit had degraded. It was an amazing place back then. Then, again, I suppose the whole Web has changed. It’s much more compartmentalized now, and even worse, much more corporatized. Walled gardens, echo chambers, the whole nine yards.

Yes, there were echo chambers even back then, but it wasn’t as...well, I guess the word I would choose is “sanitized”. It was free-er, whatever that word may have meant. Honestly, I feel sad when I hear people say the Internet is magical. Because yes it can be from time to time, but they don’t know or remember or care that it used to be so much MORE magical.

The Internet used to be Leeroy Jenkins; now’s Leeroy’s gone and it’s just a rich executive in a suit trying to peddle the newest software as a service. :(

I don’t understand the question. Could you elaborate please?

This.

It’s something that I had to learn, coming from Reddit, too, and is a difficult paradigm shift to process: the fact that there is no “Lemmy” more than there are, rather, “Lemmys”.

Also, as a (now former) Reddit user for the longest time (>10 years), I daresay that the diversity of opinions is honestly more similar to how Reddit used to be, in terms of there being VASTLY different communities and therefore VASTLY different sets of beliefs from community to community. Reddit may be a lot more homogenized now, but back in, say, 2010? It was way more diverse. Closer to how Lemmy is now.

the “B” is in fact capital, I recently learned

I didn’t quite realize that. Thank you for letting me know!

Sorry, I may need to edit my original comment. I didn’t intend to imply that it’s bad. It’s not that great, but it’s not necessarily bad, to be fair. It’s just…meh. And honestly, I imagine that’s largely due to the fact that unlike the big name keyboard app makers, a lot of FOSS keyboards—Heliboard naturally being one of them—don’t track everything under the sun. Which is a good thing and something I like, make no mistake. The unfortunate downside of that is it’s also not quite as accurate, simply due to it not having as many data points.

This is not something I blame it for, but at the same time I was hoping perhaps another keyboard might have a prediction system different enough to be slightly better. Then again, I’m no expert on keyboard prediction systems so I probably should’ve kept my mouth shut in the first place. So apologies for that. :/

I feel autocorrect in general has gotten worse in the last decade or so. One problem I noticed, for example, that I’ve faced in other FOSS keyboards, not just in Heliboard, is that compared to ten years ago or so, there is a LOT more instances of autocorrect not catching absolute gibberish (like I get a couple letters off and it doesn’t catch it) or I’m one letter off of a very common word (like 1 key to the left or right) and it corrects it to something wildly different.

Maybe I’m just misremembering (after all, human memory is hardly ever reliable), but I feel it was a LOT better around the Jellybean era (for Android).

(Side note: this is all Android-specific; I have never owned any iOS device.)

I would assume so. According to the page Documentation and FAQ,

Why is there no cloud synchronization feature built into KeePassXC?

Cloud synchronization with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, ownCloud, Nextcloud etc. can be easily accomplished by simply storing your KeePassXC database inside your shared cloud folder and letting your synchronization service of choice do the rest. We prefer this approach, because it is simple, not tied to a specific cloud provider and keeps the complexity of our code low.

I just switched over. Honestly, I like it even more than Bitwarden. Then again, I don’t sync my stuff between devices because I’m old I guess. Lol. It makes it easier to switch because I don’t have to deal with stuff like Syncthing.

Damn, I just switched from Bitwarden to KeepPassXC.

Clearly just in time. Lol.

though, my understanding is that the opposition to clotheslines is a mostly US thing. Especially in places where the weather is warm year-round.

That’s fair. I’m not personally knowledgeable about said rules; I just thought I’d point out those couple things.

(specifically its the HOA’s because HOA’s are the devil.)

Agreed. I would say they need to go fuck themselves with a cactus, but really now. What did the cactus ever do to deserve that?
