Gboard was never really good at picking up strokes. Honestly, nothing ever managed to come close to the accuracy of Swype & Dragon, which is why I’m still using it even 5 years after being discontinued. You can get the apk easily, but unfortunately it won’t survive much longer when google enforces a new API version on Android.

Though I’ve heard of modded versions that should still work… Here’s to hoping. That app has been with me for 14 years.

I meant sh.itjust.works as controversial. But if the community is brand new, it might take a few days to federate properly.

Did you check if it’s defederated? Would be the first thing I do, that instance is a bit controversial.

In a browser, go to yourinstance.com/instances and navigate to “blocked instances” on the top.

Second thing to try is just link it here in the comments, with a leading !, such as !germany@lemmy.org - you should be able to follow the link in app and then subscribe from there.

Lastly, if it’s a very new community, it’s just a waiting game until your instance has synced up.

Oh die Dinger kenn ich sogar noch, meine Großeltern hatten ihre halbe Wohnung voll mit deren Möbeln. Da klebte deren Logo als ein roter Knopf mit weißer Aufschrift immer irgendwo am Rand, unscheinbar aber trotzdem gut sichtbar.

Fand ich schon als Kind nervig.

Fight whom? And why?

For me the withdrawal symptoms only start on day 2, I can do one day without caffeine just fine, but then it lasts ~3 days. Wouldn’t call it mild though, I had some really severe headaches. On the other hand side I never used any other addictive substances, so I wouldn’t be able to compare.

Interesting, I had no idea we got some competitive archers. Very cool to see some news from non-mainstream sports, thanks for sharing!

It’s made of polypropylene, partially recycled, extremely durable, and again fully recyclable if it does reach end of life at some point. It’s also certified BPA free - as opposed to the very first version (that was transparent and used a different plastic). BPA doesn’t leech into water unless exposed over a very long time anyway, and the average brew time is about 3-5 minutes; but it’s good they made the change anyway. If I remember correctly, BPA became an issue mostly due to being in baby toys that are chewed on, or bottles for beverages with a very long shelf life (e.g. water, that practically lasts forever) where it can leech out over time.

To me it’s the ideal travel brewer, since I can pre-grind my coffee and keep it in a tin box, where I can also put a stack of filter papers in to keep them from getting wet. Glass just wouldn’t work on the road, the risk of damage is simply too high. And you’ll anyway need to have a plastic plunger, or at the very least a plastic coated one, since you need to have a 100% tight seal.

At home I don’t use it often since I have a decent espresso machine, but I can see the merit as a daily driver in a small kitchen.

Edit: Oh btw, if the body was made of glass, I can totally see how it would shatter someday while applying force. You have to push with quite a bit of power the water through.

Caffeine in which context? Coffee, tea, energy drinks…?

Yep, but it opens it up to a broader audience. Even though that’s probably exactly the opposite of what he intended.
