I’ve been using the FUTO keyboard for a couple of months after Florisboard was driving me nuts with the typos (I refuse to accept that I have fat thumbs and dislexia). So far it’s a huge improvement. It does take a while to ‘learn’ to change to the correct words when I hit space, and I’m always choosing the right word (when I remember to, lol) to improve the suggestions over time. Also, I had to get some good dictionaries for it. I liked Swiftkey a lot, but I not willing to bend over to the surveillance, so in my opinion, this is the best FOSS option I could find.

It was a quick and easy way for cops to hit their quota, even if the DA didn’t end up prosecuting. Although usually they’d at least try to threaten you into a plea just to help their conviction rate.

Might be a bit pedantic, but it is good to note they’re not actually FOSS, they’re non-commercial source available.
The intent is somewhat reasonable, you can’t use their source to make a commercial product.
That said, i’m pretty glad the FOSS community doesn’t work that way.
Also of point, i trust them far more than any of the other non-FOSS options.

Thanks. I should just stop using lemmy on my phone. Autocorrect continues to make me look stupid.

Great way for an officer to get fired and the city to be sued. Without proof that they didn’t attempt to return it to the owner there is no theft.
Also most states have a time period for returning such property, and it isn’t minutes it’s days

…what? Where do you live that cops get fired? Certainly not the US.
And, yes, people have sued the NYPD. Often and repeatedly. That has only changed how they define their practices, not what those practices are. For example, NYPD officially stopped having quotas for stop-and-frisks after the lawsuit ~15 years ago, but everyone inside the department knows that if you have the fewest stops, you’ll get worse assignments and are more likely to be passed over for promotion.

I grew up in central Florida and it used to happen quite frequently. Officers do shady shit, city/county w.e gets sued, grand juries force restructures and people being fired. The NYPD may be covering each other’s asses better or something
