I have been out of the loop for over a decade, where do I begin? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Why is port forwarding important? Sorry if it's a dumb question, lol.

Quick question - what are your opinions on using Firefox's inbuilt password manager? I've installed Bitwarden as an extension, but I find Firefox to be more convenient.

I mostly use FF on Linux, Windows, and Android and have no issues with using FF cross platforms.

On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

That last line is an absolutely brilliant insult. Love it.

Isn't sweatpants what most of the "younger generation" wear? Baggy T-shirt, sweat pants and sneakers with socks pulled all the way up outside the sweatpants.

While everyone is entitled to their preferences, if it's not a tapered fit then they're wrong.

(But tapered fit is my preference though. Looks much classier than either extremes)

This ironically(?) made me go read it. Normally I don't.

Thank you.

I've been using SwiftKey for over a decade now, and I didn't really realize how potentially horrible it is for privacy. What are some good alternatives you guys can suggest, ideally open source?

My ideal keyboard includes swipe to type and a notepad (to paste certain emoticons like shrug emoji and such).

Thank you!

Edit, for any future lemmings/internet people who want the definitive answer (so far, as of October '23), OpenBoard works great.

Download the latest release apk from here

And if you want swipe typing as well,

Download the "libjni_latinimegoogle.so" file onto your phone from here

Then when you open OpenBoard, go to Advanced and select "Load gesture typing library". When it asks you to select a file, select the "libjni" file and swiping should work just fine.
