Absolutely nothing. The fact that they had to bring up a totally irrelevant 3 year old issue during an event that is supposed to be celebrated tells you a lot. They have been blatantly brigading various communities just for attention, and probably to get the dev cancelled or something. Even this post, the privacy community does not need this whole chain of replies. And yet, they overshadow every legit discussion with this bullshit unprompted.

That’s enough brigading for today

This might be the most low quality post I’ve ever seen

Apple doesn’t have a mascot, so gnome doesn’t have one either.

What features does it have that aren’t present in AnySoftKeyboard?

I wrote a long reply to another comment in this thread. You can check it.

By word suggestions do you mean autocorrect?

Word suggestions when you type a few letters. But yes it’s autocorrect is severely lacking.

Is there some way to get rid of the massive utility row?

I believe it’s called “smart bar”. It can be disabled.

Or customize long press length?

Yes

Or have only punctuatiom symbols on the period and numbers in the qwerty row?

I don’t know about this.

I tried AnySoftKeyboard again as it’s been a while since I used it and here are my thoughts.

• FlorisBoard has a lot of small things that can make interacting with text easier. You can have a toolbar in addition to the number row which has buttons for copy, paste, select all, cut and paste. This eliminates the need for long pressing text to invoke these actions. There’s a layout called “Quick Text Editing” in ASK but that disables the number row. This is quite a deal breaker.

• It also has a clipboard manager which was missing in ASK.

• You can add a secondary toolbar which has buttons for undo and redo. This is one of the most useful feature for me. It allows you to, well, undo and redo text basically everywhere. This is helpful since text input fields don’t have a way to undo and redo text. It can be a lifesaver in many occasions.

• Swiping left/right on the spacebar is faster and feels natural compared to ASK’s one character movement per swipe. Swiping from one end of the spacebar to the other end moves the cursor by many number of letters depending on speed. On ASK swiping from one end to other moves the cursor by only one letter.

• You can create custom themes on FlorisBoard locally by editing a few variables. This is not a huge thing but it might be useful.

• In FlorisBoard long pressing letters inserts symbols instead of variations of the letter.

Of course most of these are small and won’t concern most people, but these are good quality of life additions for me.

Florisboard has many good features and is insanely customizable which are not present in AnySoftKeyboard. The only thing lacking as of now is the inferior swipe typing and word suggestions.

They have no intention of sparing a thought for anything that isn’t gnome. It’s a shame considering their corporate funding and influence over the linux desktop.

I love how they act hostile to users and developers of other projects and pretend to be surprised when the same is reciprocated to them

Youtube certainly seems like the best place to post this

Running obfuscated commands from forums on the internet.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the shaman they recently hired
