I don't trust Ubisoft to have the degree of opsec necessary to prevent something like this. Hell, I don't trust Ubisoft to have the degree of opsec necessary to notice it happened ex post facto.
I will actually go ahead and belive that when they did notice this they thought it was to steal their source code and stopped it, but once they figured out it wasn’t they sent it to marketing to make them look good, like they meant to protect their customers or something.
The only reason I know about Ubisoft is because I was gifted the second South Park game. I still play it on drinking nights when nobody has ideas. If I want to start a fight, I use a save game during either one of the male abortions.
If you only need roughly the same layout, you are able to replicate it without too much programming skills with the open source AnySoftKeyboard. Just fork it and create your own board. If you need assistance, I’m glad to give you a bit of help.
That’s extremely kind of you to offer; unfortunately my programming skills are non-existent and I wouldn’t even know where to begin forking AnySoft (which is nice for its swipe-typing). More than anything it’s the hexagonal-shaped keys I like because they’re fingertip-shaped. AnySoft is great in many ways, but suffers a bit from too much menu diving; otherwise its customizability is fantastic. If only it had hexagonal keys! But if it did have that type of keyboard as an option, then the user would probably lose the swipe typing feature, yes?
GitHub is evil, but yes. If that’s where they have a bug tracker, that would probably be the preferred place for suggestions. Also you can browse other tickets. There should be a tab saying “issues” or something like that. Posting will need an account, almost certainly.
Unless there is an open source app, the next stop will be the piracy sub. It may be able to work if you obtain an apk and patch it to think it’s paid. While there, it would also be worth defusing data mining components.
And it’s a offline version so It will not connect to android.
Not sure I follow, but are you sure about that? However, some things to check for:
does it have the network permission?
AndroidManifest.xml inside it contains if it does, but also app manager or plenty other apps can tell if so because it’s relatively straightforward to tell
does it to interprocess communication with other apps? through Intents or some more convoluted way, there’s plenty. That’s hard to tell.
Most modder nowdays not just provide paid version of app but also cut down most of telementry and tracking stuff. Also I check AndroidManifest it doesn’t have any unnecessary permission but still I am not gonna use a close sourced keyboard.
I can see this being useful, especially if you could scale the space around the characters (i.e. customize the size of the keys). I also think adding more layers like with smaller ortholinear keyboards might be a good idea as well…
Hmm…gonna have to add this to the things to eventually make whenever I get around to learning kotlin/java for android dev.
Hi @z3rOR0ne, I’m afraid that lemmy.ml might be blocked on Beehaw, but if you do decide to proceed with an open source version of Typewise (Typefool?), please message me and I will seriously consider providing you with a little funding for your efforts.👍
I’ve tried FOSS keyboards, but always return to Gboard, my particular needs are: Swype and bilingual suggestions (English and Spanish). There are alternatives for Swype style, but none works good with bilingual language.
As an alternative I use, Unexpected keyboard, very good and small, is like a better and updated hacker’s keyboard (abandoned). Give this a try. Very useful specially with Termux or similar.
I use Microsoft SwiftKey for the same reasons, find it hard to switch or get used to anything else.
Having used SwiftKey since before Microsoft acquired them, I’m a little annoyed at all the shit they’ve tacked onto the keyboard (like no, I don’t need Bing and ChatGPT in my keyboard, thank you very much). But nothing else let’s me mix languages in the same way as SwiftKey.
Have you tried HeliBoard with FUTO Voice Input? It has multi language support & multi lingual switching. Found it very accurate when dictating messages but understandably not so great with uncommon names or places. But you can input words (like a personal dictionary) & I’ve found it will then use the learned words. Here’s a demonstration
For me Gborad’s best feature is the speech to text function, I find it to be very accurate. Since I’ve started using it, I barely type anything at all.
Not that I can tell. It may even be abandonware. It would make a helluva starting-point for an open-source fork though, if anyone could reach the developer.
You aren’t, but it’s likely some people have 2 or even 3 cell network connected devices (phone, tablet, watch, car, etc). As that articles notes it’s SIM cards not people. Not that $1.50 is any better…
I just got curious about the math anyway, then very, very angry. Another source indicated something like 300 million people with cell phones in the country, but it wasn’t clear how many of those are customers of the affected carriers.
Well, you can sue them directly… Or you could, if you can show that you have standing. That means if they shared your specific personal information illegally then you could sue them. If you’re lucky, some blood sucking lawyers will do the leg work and find out the details. Then they’ll file a class action lawsuit against these companies and we’ll all get emails saying, “You may be eligible for compensation! Come to our website and give us a bunch of private information so we can see if you are owed big bucks! Oh, and we promise we wont sell your information, you can trust us!”
