  • Swipe in my experience does need work. I’m glad they’re doing this.

    GBoard, before I switched, was like 95% accurate. I could trust it for blind typing. Heliboard with the google library is maybe 70% accurate and frustrating. “typing” in that last sentence was first “topping” the second “ripping” before I tapped it out.

    To this day nobody is as good as Swype was. RIP.


  • They curate the subs that appear.

    All is everything minus a deny list (nsfw).

    Popular is a list of what they approve, or more recently it’s the algorithmic feed.

    I only used my own subs for my personal interests or All to discover something new. It was, at least at one time, good for surfacing things I never would have looked for. More often things that didn’t interest me, but that was valuable in itself.





  • I’m waiting for Tuesday. Their editor said they’re looking into the suspect AI written article but due to the long weekend are asking for patience.

    Which, honestly, I find unacceptable. To let something that has the possibility of trashing their reputation to fester for 3 days while their audience has idle time to speculate and spread the issue is just irresponsible. Surely such a risk deserves priority treatment. They’re not new at this. I’m doubly disappointed.







  • From what I’ve read the new mayor has withdrawn all orders from the previous mayor following his criminal indictment on the grounds that they may be self serving to the previous mayor and/or made as political favors intended to avoid prosecution.

    I’ve also read the new mayor is reviewing each to see which are worth reimplenting in part or in whole.

    Whether or not this was a wise choice is up for debate, but it is no surprise that those affected were ready to pounce in order to score political points. Someone associated with the new mayor must have seen this coming for this particular religiously charged topic, and must have known the NY press would not be forgiving.
