Fair enough. I tried HeliBoard because it was recommended and stuck with it. I don’t use voice to text, but got swipe texting to work on HeliBoard

What are your thoughts on HeliBoard compared to FUTO?

Try Molly instead which is a hardened fork of Signal. Molly uses the same servers and is transparent to the operator.

You can install Molly through F-Droid or Accrescent.

The bottom line was in total, no vulnerabilities were found.

I recently learned this as well. Thanks, Fediverse!

I read in a previous post that Trump’s plan leaked:

The plan requires Ukraine to give up land in Russia’s Kursk region and also to accept Russia’s land grab. European soldiers would also occupy and monitor a demilitarized zone.

Ukraine would also have to agree not to seek membership in NATO

If true, Russia is getting what it wants.

I was just looking into building an RSS feed to escape social media. This list is perfect! Thank you.

Be the change in the world you wish to see.

The hardest part is when you have to curate by yourself. To me RSS feels like a lot of work upfront. Is there a tool to help discover items to add to your feed aligned with your interest?

What are everyone’s thoughts on Molly, advertised as a hardened fork of Signal?

There is an android version distributed on github, but it’s no longer listed on the loops.video page anymore for some reason.

The android app is on GitHub here. Version 1.0.0.9 from 15 November. Seems they are either no longer developing the android app, or at least prioritizing the iOS version.

Ragnar the Red is the name of a Nordic song, popular in Skyrim.

Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red,

Who came riding to Whiterun from old Rorikstead

And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade,

As he told of bold battles and gold he had made.

But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red,

When he met the shield-maiden Matilda, who said;

"Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead,

Now I think it’s high time that you lie down and bleed!"

And so then came clashing and slashing of steel,

As the brave lass Matilda charged in, full of zeal.

And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no more-

When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor!

I read Molly is forked from Signal. Can I message Signal users from Molly, or do all parties need Molly?

Gamespy back in the day. Could make core friends and join the same servers across games.

It’s not too difficult to establish a Signal account from a burner number from a prepaid sim card. I currently have a Signal account tied to a sim not in my name. Getting a burner with cash is an option. Or, if you’re lucky enough to live near a payphone and can gain access to the number, you can activate a signal with a phone call.

I think the intent is baby steps for those who aren’t already privacy invested. Getting parents or tech illiterate to switch to Signal is a win. They weren’t hiding their number anyway.

So easy to setup my tech illiterate parents could do it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m looking like 73% compatibility with the deck, so I’d assume slightly higher for the computer. I mostly play single player anyways so I’m probably overall looking good.

Thank you for this inspiration. I’ve also been things about a switch to Mint but the only thing holding me back is my Steam library. I’m going to dig into it a little more and look at the compatibility of my games. It’s encouraging to hear others making the leap.
