Or for those not born 2000 years ago:

If you want peace, prepare for war.

Heliboard can have swipe typing. It relies on a closed source library though, so...

https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard?tab=readme-ov-file#features

  • Glide typing (only with closed source library ☹️)
  • library not included in the app, as there is no compatible open source library available
  • can be extracted from GApps packages ("swypelibs"), or downloaded here (click on the file and then "raw" or the tiny download button)

MSM under the government's orders don't want you to know this one easy trick to make your own ketchup!

We're seeing from the White House that written words, rules, and laws are meaningless to them. They're only a permanent member because words say so, and the members are willing to honour those words. If the USA were to attack another NATO member I'm sure those words can and will be ignored.

Bullshit. People avoid politics and have loud opinions all the time. I understand your burden, the state of the world is depressing af, but to claim that the ignorant keep their opinions to themselves is absurd.

To clarify though, the news isn't really politics. The news is theatre.

I agree that people can live their reality how they want but it also has to be remembered that everything is political so if you avoid politics it's hard to complain when things aren't going your way. Particularly if you live in a democratic system.

This video by the UK's Electoral Commission always sticks in my mind about politics

It didn't appear in my apps list and yet if I looked at the link to the play store it said it was installed... maybe double check you don't have it by looking it up on the play store as well. Fishy to say the least

If the local council won't keep drivers safe, you can. There's only so many times they'll pay to repair it before determining it costs too much.

The report doesn't urge that at all. It urges a further report be done to determine the advantages and disadvantages as this wasn't fully in the scope of this particular report. They note other countries have done it with success but that the welfare of keeping cats locked indoors all the time would also need to be considered.

The full report is available here:

Because then it wouldn't be wild garlic any more, would it? 😝

For some reason I'm just seeing a headline with no hyperlink. Here's the link if anyone else has the same issue

A good minimalist text based launcher that's open source is Olauncher. Maybe not what you're after (comparing it to Smart Launcher) but thought I'd suggest it just in case.

 

Lately I've been seeing a lot of posts in German in the All feed. I love that there's communities on Lemmy that aren't in English. I wish there were some available in my second language. However, I can't read or understand German and seeing posts in German regularly is starting to get a bit annoying.

Is there a setting available anywhere, that I've missed, to filter by language? Or, will I be best just blocking these communities as they come up in the feed?
