No, all religion is dumb.

I mean I’m already kind of doing this reading super old books but 10k isn’t worth the hassle if I find myself in the mood for something else.

Have a problem? Go into therapy. Now you have two problems!

What does this have to do with technology?

No, it’s the fork I’ve linked. You got it from here, yes? Also, the option only appears after you successfully load a library by going to Advanced > Load gesture typing library. Since you said you’d already loaded it I didn’t mention that. You might’ve loaded the incorrect file or something.

Uhhh it’s pretty blatant.
OpenBoard Settings > Gesture Typing > Enable Gesture Typing

Important to note that you need to install a library from inside the app’s settings to enable swipe typing. Ctrl+F “enable gesture typing” on the Github page to see where to get it.

The fork even has support for swipe, autocorrect, word prediction, clipboard management, etc, and is way more lightweight than Gboard and the rest. Zero reason to use anything else at the moment.

No. Chromium is far, far from being free of Google’s clutches. If you must use chromium-based browsers (you really shouldn’t) you can try ungoogled-chromium.

Unironically better to use Chrome than Brave. They’re both spyware but at least you’re not actively deluding yourself about privacy with Chrome.

I think the “Fediverse is hard to join” thing is a myth corporate are pushing. I signed up for Mastodon and it took me 1 minute (mostly because I had to open up my email to verify it); same for lemmy.
