fluckx, to privacy in HeliBoard, a privacy-conscious open-source Android keyboard based on AOSP/now-unmaintained OpenBoard, is now available on F-Droid

How do you do the multilingual typing? I often switch between my native language and English.

cereals,

Disable the “use system language” setting and choose your native language. You can then add English to your native languages layout as a secondary language.

Thanks for the recommendation, this is pretty kick ass!

Good app thank you for the suggest! I hope they will add also the ability to mark read while scrolling. I’m used to read through Feedme app, but since it isn’t opensource this one could replace it at all!

    it supports FreshRSS.

    Substance_P,

    Really, can you elaborate? It’s open source, it’s free what’s there not to like?

    @Bezier@suppo.fi avatar

    Why?

    cereals,

    You can setup a freshrss server and connect readyou to it

    That depends on your use case, I personally really only ever use RSS on my phone. Anyway, as others have mentioned, you can connect the app to FreshRSS for syncing.

    Also, feel free to ignore this, but you could probably make your point without being so condescending. Something like “Cool, but the lack of apps across multiple platforms is a deal-breaker for me.” Calling someone’s work “cute, but […] useless” after they provide it for free to the community is kinda rude, especially considering it’s honestly one of the best actively-developped RSS apps for Android.

    Zerush, to privacy in What are your thoughts on Invizible pro ?
    @Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

    I’m using it, but mostly only as Proxie. it also avoid a lot of ads in the Android apps. I2P and TOR network only occasional. It’s a good app and FOSS.

    Cheradenine, to opensource in What are your thoughts on invizible pro ?

    I used it previously then switched to RethinkDNS.

    I like the blocking abilities and the logging more with RethinkDNS. I never used I2P so that was moot for me.

    With RethinkDNS I can pick the Hagezi blocklist and No Facebook, as an example, quite easily. I can also individually block domains and IPs. Dnscrypt doesn’t allow that much precision.

    It also has features like allow/disallow only on WiFi or data, block apps not in use, block all apps when device is locked, plus a bunch more stuff.

    It integrates with Orbot, but Orbot must also be installed.

    Really I can’t say anything bad about InviziblePro, I prefer RethinkDNS, you might not though.

    Legend,

    How’s invisible pros app/system firewall compared to rethinks also does invisible pro start on its own after power off like rethink ?

    Cheradenine,

    I prefer the RethinkDNS firewall as it is more granular in what it can block. Say you have the Wikipedia app, you can block intake-analytics.wikimedia.org and still allow meta.wikimedia.org

    InviziblePro can be setup to start on boot. DnsCrypt, Tor, and I2P can all be toggled individually in the settings.

    Legend,

    Hmm i remember a while back when i firewalled my browser on invizible pro and it still worked that’s one of the reason i stopped using it maybe they have fixed it now . So can tor also be setup to start on boot and can it stop supplying internet system wide if say tor stopped suddenly or does it just continue supplying unencrypted internet ?

    Cheradenine,

    Yes, Tor can be set to start on boot, and there is a run all traffic through Tor setting. I’m pretty sure I remember one time when Tor failed during a session and things still worked though. With RethinkDNS this does not happen tough. When Orbot loses connection, quits, whatever, RethinkDNS will still send it traffic (if configured to do so) but it will not leave the device because Orbot is not running.

    Like I said, I really prefer RethinkDNS

    Legend,

    For whatever reason i can’t get orbot to work with rethink .

    Cheradenine,

    Hmm, I’ve never had an issue with it. Orbot itself sometimes has problems, but even that is becoming rare in my use.

    I’m still looking for a keyboard with predictions which doesn’t require me to change languages manually. I’m currently on Gboard as there is no decent alternative.

    Hirom,

    I’m currently trying HeliBoard, and was about to say I also miss the multi language cabapility.

    But HeliBoard do have that capability, it’s just not obvious to enable.

    Wow, okay. Thank you for this.

    I’m looking for one that allows handwriting to text, if anyone knows of one.

    fri, to technology in Safety in typing, no cloud needed

    Are there any keyboards on f-droid that offer word prediction?

    I always go back to SwiftKey (but didn’t update if since they announced AI stuff) because nothing comes close, but I would gladly change it to something FOSS.

    @fri @Hirom HeliBoard is awesome, especially if you take a few minutes to change the settings to your liking

    @fri @Hirom HeliBoard is FOSS, on F-Droid, does predictions, works offline, and is actively maintained.

    If you want swiping, you'll have to install a proprietary Google binary though. Basically download https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/tree/46fdf2b550035ca69299ce312fa158e7ade36967/app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a (probably this version, although there are others for other less common processors) and add it in the HeliBoard settings.

    Homepage is @
    https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard (and it links to the page that contains that binary library, including other architecture versions).

    @fri I'm using AnySoftKeyboard. Took me a bit of getting used to and I'm probably still less efficient than I used to be, but it doesn't send what I type to remote servers to train AIs on. @Hirom

    @fri @Hirom
    https://anysoftkeyboard.github.io is pretty great. Many languages, customized layout, word prediction, no data reporting.

    @fri @Hirom openboard?

    IrritableOcelot,

    Open board is unmaintained, heliboard is the fork, and has added some great features IMO.

    @IrritableOcelot good to know, just installed!

    Just found it and managed to load it into Niagara launcher.

    Excellent looking, but it's only been running for 5 mins so I can't really judge it ;-)

    GekkoState, to opensource in Breezy Weather: An open-source, privacy-friendly Android weather app forked from the now-unmaintained Geometric Weather

    Does it have any widgets lines the cure day/time/weather or 5 day outlook.

    I’m one of those people that would rather have a weather widget on my home screen than opening an app every time.

    Sentau,

    Yes it has tons of widget option with clock + weather being one option and weekly weather being another

    Ekpu, to privacy in Breezy Weather: An open-source, privacy-friendly Android weather app forked from the now-unmaintained Geometric Weather

    Very nice. Searched some time for a GW replacement but none fullfilled my needs like this!

    lemmyreader, to privacy in Breezy Weather: An open-source, privacy-friendly Android weather app forked from the now-unmaintained Geometric Weather

    Impressive.

    Can it show something like a dashboard with forecasts for multiple cities at once?

    barryamelton,

    Yep, it has a widget for that.

    vort3,
    @vort3@lemmy.ml avatar

    You mean, homescreen widget?

    No in app view for that?

    I just installed the app and it looks pretty cool, but can’t find forecast graphs for multiple locations on the same screen anywhere.

    cinnamonTea,

    If it’s just about current weather, the locations view kind of does this. Otherwise, I’d be super interested to hear which app you’d seen that in before, sounds like an interesting feature

    vort3,
    @vort3@lemmy.ml avatar

    I don’t think it’s FOSS (that’s why I’m looking for a replacement), but Klara does this: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/460e6096-0cc2-4910-beea-4b91332723ff.jpeg

    cinnamonTea,

    Very cool feature, thanks for sharing!

    vort3,
    @vort3@lemmy.ml avatar

    No problem.

    If you ever find a FOSS alternative, let me know :-)
