    I mean I like using FlorisBoard as it has fairly frequent updates. If you enjoy using Heliboard that’s also fair.

    Almost like the post got brigades by astroturfers shilling FlorisBoard. At the time it didn’t even have autocorrect or other basic features. It felt like the Twilight zone.

    Now, I don’t trust anyone who recommends it because it had literally no features over an already established keyboard like HeliBoard, yet a entire post of evangelists coming out of the woodwork. Makes no sense.

    Please don’t make this a tribal/team camp thing. Bashing other projects is quite disgusting and offensive especially without any real reason.

    Again if you enjoy Heliboard that’s cool, just don’t diss and talk down additional FOSS projects. The FOSS ecosysten is different from the traditional proprietary ecosystem like Microsoft and Oracle.



  • oh uhh I used the sprout emoji from FlorisBoard to symbolize growth.

    Are FOSS apps inherently for newbs?

    not really sure how to answer this as Free Open Source Software (FOSS) apps are just more trustworthy than proprietary apps.

    It mostly depends on the development age of the project.

    Being brutally honest FOSS apps that are:

    • Newer tend to be more clunky and are harder to trust because the dev might be inexperienced and might not continue development.
    • Older might have some crust but are more trustworthy as the dev is likely to polish and iron out any cruft.

    So “Are FOSS apps inherently for newbs?” is kinda hard to answer.

    If instead I was asked: “Is x FOSS app easier to use than y proprietary app?” this I could probably give you a more definitive satisfactory answer.

    I disagree in that it should be allowed here just because:

    “AI content is here to stay”

    The reasoning for my belief is that the generation is near instantaneous in contrast to the effort that real people make to create things. The speed of creation creates an inherent problem in that it becomes near impossible to determine if that item is something worth of value to others, this causes a problem for both moderators and content consumers.

    No one likes the time wastage that comes from low quality posts, comments, goods.

    Time is something people can never get back.

    Until the halucinations can be decreased to point where it causes no harm or is unnoticible, it will always have a more than likely negative cost to most people.

    The argument that it should be allowed because it continues to exist is hard to justify in my opinion. The known and current cons are too costly to outweight the future potential pros.
