If you'd read the article you'd know that dealing with and preventing that exact feeling of powerlessness is precisely what the whole article is about.
Regular dental checks are really important for cats, I"ve learned. They can stop eating completely due to deteriorating teeth and once the problem has reached that stage it's quite difficult to reverse.
You're a grey hat. Technical problems like these are likely to never get fixed until their consequences are demonstrated.
Sympathies. Chronic vertigo is horrible, especially when it leads to nausea. Hope you find an effective treatment soon.
Tove Jansson's style is amazing. I really feel bad that there's no good English translation of the music album version of Who Will Comfort Toffle. You guys are really missing out.
Liftoff. The UI isn't anything to write home about, but it has the best features for managing multiple accounts across different instances out of all that I've tried by far.
I just noticed I received a reply, two days ago:
Google had added some new contraints and we just updated the several of our language modules. We updated English, French and German, the most popular ones, for now. English and French are available now and German is in review.
Please, if you can, give it a try and see if the problem is rectified.
So apparently the support is still active.
Glad to hear it and I hope Exideas' admittedly questionable support won't be a big issue going forward for you. It hasn't really been for me - the app is pretty solid. It saddens me that novel designs like this never seem to catch on, between public inertia and established corporate actors actively trying to suppress anything new.
They are still on the app store, but unlike the keyboard app itself don't seem to be updated for modern Android devices. For example:
I've sent Exideas a support email asking why this is the case, so I guess when and whether they respond will be something of a litmus test of how active their support is these days. In the meantime, it seems the language modules/dictionaries can be downloaded as APKs directly from their website. They should not at all be necessary to use the keyboard, in any case.
I think so. The last update was in december -21, which doesn't seem that far back for a keyboard app. I've not contacted the developer by their support channel email so I don't know if they respond that way. I've personally had very few problems with it over many years' use.
As others have said, it currently does not. A workaround that works pretty well, and which I use, is to create accounts on multiple instances and use them as "multi-lemmies" by moving your subscriptions between them according to theme, topic or whatever else you want to group by. A password manager like Bitwarden can help with generating passwords for and keeping track of the different accounts.
I can't claim to be a 100% sure to be honest, but if the information on their privacy info page is accurate, it shouldn't ask for any android system permissions at all, including internet access:
In particular, MessagEase does not seek Internet access permission.
I've used MessagEase for many years now and I absolutely love it. It's a very different kind of keyboard and so takes a while to get used to but once you've learned to use it properly you can type a lot faster with it on a touch screen with limited real estate.
Yeah, unfortunately, for now at least that seems to be the case. It can still be used as a forum for discussion but apparently it has no moderator, and I don't know if that can be changed the way Lemmy works right now. It could still serve as a temporary forum to try to bootstrap discussions around typology in general. Once a community is formed it shouldn't be hard to migrate to elsewhere if things start to derail, even without a moderator.
Edit: It seems I was wrong. It is a kbin community, and when viewed directly on kbin it lists as having a moderator.
