@uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca I decided to give try to gboard+trackercontrol. Internet access is now offfl. It blocks tenor as expected and the offline swipe seems to work as desired. (Which means light-years ahead of any other swipe I've used)
What I cannot tell is if the voice input truly is offline. I had always presumed that Gboard was relying on "Google Voice Typing" integration, but I have that keyboard disabled. I still feel wildly uncomfortable using voice with gboard. How is it so accurate without going online?
Any thoughts on how to ensure gboard voice is also 100% blocked?
I prefer to measure by banana. This case calls for purified banana units.
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with importing and exporting personal dictionaries. I looked into it a bit, but wasn't successful in finding anything relevant.
Headlines are meant to get attention and this one does that. What you're saying is absolutely true though. There's an incredible amount of weird and horrifying stuff that happens in the animal kingdom. Humans included...
Oh my goodness yes! I say punctuations constantly out of habit and then have to edit them out. But I'm also really impressed with FUTOs ability to determine punctuation based on pauses.
Because platypus will interpret as a challenge...
Yeah, I'm having to tolerate a whole bunch for this next best solution, but it's far from perfect.
It seems you and I have near identical usage style and when the same pet peeve, so I completely understand why you use it the way you do. I'm quite terrible and very very slow at typing normally. When I watch my kids text, it literally boggles my mind. It simply is impossible for me.
The periodical cicadas that are about to infest two parts of the United States aren't just plentiful, they're downright weird.
😳
Dang. I use TrackerControl to do just that for many apps and hadn't even thought about trying to do it for gboard + gvoice because I had not know they had offline processing available for both.
Now its tempting to switch back and see... 😬 but... so far this combo of HeliBoard with swipe and FUTO have been sooo close... and its not google. 😏
I have to admit that gboard is pretty amazing at the detecting my sloppiness. But... knowing everything I type and say is going to Google... well, let's just says I'm willing to tolerate the extra work so as to keep things away from them.
FUTO is definitely slower than Google's speech to text engine, but for the same reason... I think I'm completely okay with that now.
I have found this to be the case as well.
What it has forced me to do now is to actually try to be close to the letters. When I'm swiping with gboard, I was very sloppy and it would recognize what I wrote. At this point, I'm fine being more accurate for the tradeoff.
No worries.
And there really isn't a whole lot to elaborate on. I simply want to be able to attach a telephoto lens to my OnePlus 11.
I know third party solutions sometimes require a special case, which I'm open to, but the only popular one I found didn't have a case for this model phone.
Unfortunately no. That's remains part of the 10% that this solution doesn't replicate 1:1. But... you can use a spacebar gesture (e.g. vertical swipe) to quickly change languages. Works like a charm.
Finally had a reason to try Obtanium. Picked it right up. Hopeful this can replace the watch I set in GitHub.
Thanks!
Could anyone recommend a OnePlus 11 telephoto lens attachment? My searches are coming up dry so far.
A new study of Japanese tits provides the first evidence of non-primate animals using gestures to convey messages

> A new study of Japanese tits provides the first evidence of non-primate animals using gestures to convey messages > > When a mated pair of small birds called Japanese tits arrives at the nest, one of them might flutter its wings at the other. The second bird then typically enters the nest first. This motion might be a signal, meant to convey the message “after you” to the other bird, scientists reported Monday in the journal Current Biology. > > The research provides the first evidence of animals besides primates using gestures to communicate meaning. The result “shows that Japanese tits not only use wing fluttering as a symbolic gesture, but also in a complex social context involving a sender, receiver and a specific goal, much like how humans communicate,” Toshitaka Suzuki, a co-author of the new study and a biologist at the University of Tokyo, tells Science News’ Darren Incorvaia.

Photo Description
Top Left: Tree unbalanced. Left side producing little. Right side producing well.
Top Right: Shown from opposite side. Full limbs visible without flowering.
Bottom left: Close up of the left side of the tree. Several branches not flowering down full length.
Bottom right: Closer view of the graft and up.
Please do ask for any more clarifying photos if you think it would help.
Questions:
-
The tree just started blooming this week. Is it too late to start pruning or should I wait until Autumn?
-
Pruning the tree is going to make it even more lopsided than it already is. Would you all recommend trimming back the healthy branches so it's not so heavy on one side?
-
This website gives the advice below. Any thoughts otherwise?
Thank you all so much!

How to Prune a Weeping Cherry Tree
The different types of weeping cherries can grow to between eight and 40 feet tall. Proper pruning keeps these trees looking beautiful and can prevent the development and spread of diseases. Prune while the tree is dormant (no flowers or leaves on the branches) in early spring or late fall. Take the following steps once a year with bypass pruning shears or a pole pruner.
- Cut back any branches that contact the ground until they’re at least six inches off the ground.
- Remove branches that are rubbing against each other.
- Trim back branches that are closer than two inches apart.
- Remove dead branches.
- Remove stems or branches growing out of the trunk or around the base of the tree (a.k.a. suckers).
- Trim back the tips of the branches around the perimeter of the canopy until it’s a balanced, uniform shape.
- Remove branches that are growing straight up on grafted cherry trees because they will continue to grow upward instead of weeping down.
- Thin out the mangled cluster of branches that often develops near the base of the canopy of grafted trees.
- Remove diseased branches as soon as they’re discovered, regardless of the time of year. Sterilize the blade of your cutting tool in between cuts to prevent disease spread.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in action in the two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday that 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in action in the two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.
"A U.S. intelligence report declassified in mid-December 2023 estimated that 315,000 Russian troops had been killed or wounded in Ukraine. If accurate, the figure would represent 87% of the roughly 360,000 troops Russia had before the war, according to the report."
