that seems like a lot of battery for just a keyboard
It runs a local LLM for auto correct and voice to text.
that seems like overkill
No, that's a feature. Google voice to text will send everything to google servers.
Weird, I put my phone in airplane mode and verbally typed this out
You probably have this off https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Turn-Off-Gboard-Toggles3.jpg
That is turned off but it must have defaulted to that. I don't recall ever seeing this option before. In fact I don't think I've ever even been in that menu, lol. The other options in there were turned on, were turned on.
Mine is off too. I'm usually too busy to bother with worrying too much about Google stealing my data. I've been using Google for so long that it's too late for me.
Save yourselves.
Yeah, it's the one real negative I have with it and something a lot of reviews for it mention.
Tried HeliBoard?
HeliBoard is soooo good. Seconded. A lot of FOSS keyboards out there need.... A little more polish ^^;
What is connect? A Lemmy client?
Yes.
Pretty good client. I use it because it reminds me of RiF when I left reddit.
I tried it right when i made the switch (when reddit pulled the plug on third party) and didnt care for it. Idk if I just didnt know lemmy and that confounded my problems... has it changed? Or maybe I've learned enough i should give it a go ago.
It has improved over the years from when I first installed it. I just really appreciate the AMOLED theme and simple UI. I never found a reason to find a replacement.
That I align with 3 out of 4 of those is a bit concerning.
