  • So I tried it but have since uninstalled and unfortunately gone back to Gboard for now. It was fine for what it was, but it doesn’t support swipe (or “glide typing,” as they called it) which is a dealbreaker for be. It is mentioned in the settings page, it reads to me like it was there before and they took it out and plan to reimplement it later (v0.7+, according to the roadmap on GitHub). So I’ll keep this in mind for the future and hope to come back to it when they’ve added it back in.









  • I’m not sure I’d call it a “win” necessarily. After seeing it mentioned in a thread a couple weeks ago I switched from Gboard to FUTO Keyboard. Except I friggin hate it, it’s swipe typing is SOOO bad. Everything takes ten times longer now because i have to go back and fix every other word multiple times. Win for my privacy, loss for my ability to type things, I guess. If anyone has another swipe capable keyboard that respects privacy, I’m open to suggestions.



  • Addiction, yes, that’s well documented. But what’s this about being a known sex pest?

    I’m not saying you’re wrong, he’s got lots of money and has authored a few wonky sex scenes in his books throughout the years (obviously up to and including the kids at the end of IT), so it’s certainly possible.

    But I’ve never seen his name come up in any real life stories about this. Just got a few pages down into a DDG search for “Stephen king accused” and found nothing. There was a “top 12 Stephen king controversies” article that made no mention of any sexual allegations outside of the IT scene and him apparently arguing against the cancellation of a Woody Allen biography on censorship grounds.

    Do you have any sources for your “known sex pest” claim?
