Keep firing, assholes!

Rip.

Friendly reminder: many people on Lemmy, let alone the Fediverse as a whole, are not American.

With that being said, no, no, I haven’t voted. But I plan to on Election Day! :)

Down with fascism! °o°i

Exactly!

Real sad what happened there.

Yes, I get that people need to eat, but goddamn it man THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO GET MONEY THAN SELLING OUT.

Ah, fair enough. Lol. I was hoping you were making a Fallout: New Vegas reference. Haha.

Ave, true to Caesar.

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.)

What do you mean?

That is...extremely unfortunate.

Is the autocorrect any better than Heliboard?

Edit: I didn’t mean to imply that it’s bad; it’s just not very good. Then again, that may also not be Heliboard’s fault. It personally feels like keyboards in general have become worse at autocorrect during the last ten or so years.
