    Fuck that makes me super sad.

    Are they really telling us that what they're adding is launcher enhancements?

    You know what's sad, Mishaal has done a better job speaking up Android 15 than Google.

    And holy fuck, I'm tired of this bullshit about mature systems. They could bring back Jedi hand gestures, they could improve bubbles, they could fix notifications so the new one is easier to find, because holy fuck how often do I look at my phone and can't find the new notification. They could link Monet on phone and watch. They could enable me to start something on one phone and send to another and not via their shitty nearby send.

    There's a tonne of room for improvement and they advertise locked apps and making search results even harder to get to.

    Google said, "yo, we heard you liked search, so we gave you AI with a slither of search and we will ram it down your throat until you feel like you can't live without it, because walled gardens are the best and we can't figure out a way to trap you in ours" 🥴

    Google will be sued again by the big publications and will pay out. But little independent publications will die as people get used to not leaving the search engine.

    Just because you're used to something, doesn't make it good.

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    The beauty of QAZWSX, or a modern machine learning backed fuzzy typing layout is that you don't have to learn it. You roughly press where you would ordinarily and the "AI" does the rest and figures out what you were trying to say.

    It does. But it doesn't need to. Besides, utilizing such algorithms in a QWERTY keyboard produces needless complexity to the algorithm, putting additional load on the processor

    You're being incredibly toxic for a shower thought. Have a word with yourself.

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    I think with the advent of passkeys, this issue is largely mitigated. But for the most part, yes, reversion to the familiar makes sense, whether that's QWERTY, T9 or simply disabling auto correct.

    We live in a world whereby we're lucky enough to have options.

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    That's an unrealistic expectation to set upon yourself. Machine learning has been prevalent in our lives for a long time already. But as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    Honestly, it's a mere shower thought, so I didn't come prepared with notes and statistics in hand, what I will say is the amount of screen real estate is by far the worst issue.

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    Why was this downvoted? I wasn't aware that shower thoughts had to be popular opinions.

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    I didn't know keyboard layouts were considered software. My bad!

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    I put AI in quotations because it really isn't an artificial intelligence, it's just machine learning.

    Okay, so put it like this, let's say you split a keyboard in two vertically and then rather than have 13 keys on each side, you have one. But your brain still sees the thirteen keys, when you type, based on a local language model, the keyboard would say, this list of words is most often used after this word. However based on an input on the left side X times and Y times on the right, the word is around a certain length and has a likelihood of these letters being used and then it replaces your gibberish with the word you were trying to type. Obviously with machine learning it gets better over time.

    We walk with these mini computers, why wouldn't we use them to process communication?

    Just an alternative keyboard layout

    I broke the concept down in more detail here https://lazysoci.al/comment/9715945

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    You would get a selection of words, like autocorrect now. But if none of those were correct, you could fall back to legacy mode to put in the correct word and next time that word would be weighted so you're more likely to see it.

    Have you ever tried to type on your phone in landscape while still seeing the content? That's 8 times better in itself.

    Because the additional axis. It's like the difference between normal chess and 3D chess.

    Do you mind if I send you a link as a private message? This was honestly just me thinking aloud this morning and I really don't want to be accused of shilling.

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    I absolutely think it has to be a local implementation. Especially with all these new processors with their AI benefits. Qualcomm T2000 with built in Skynet. I'm taking the piss, but the latest chip announcement was similar.

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    I think that if you had a new keyboard enabled on every new phone, people would adapt. Unfortunately though, that would never happen.

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    I just offered to private message someone an implementation because I didn't want to be accused of shilling but since you and @happyredditrefugee are both interested and it would look dodgy to be offering so many private messages, I'll just post here is that's okay?

    I've never seriously tried dvorak. How long did it take you to get proficient?

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    Wait, you've never had to type on your phone in landscape? Never played a game and had to type a message in chat? Never had to type while watching a video? Never had to do something in terminal and the text wasn't legible in portrait? 🥹

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    The vertical axis

    You cycling or using public transport?

    sabreW4K3 OP ,
    @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

    That's honestly the optimal way to travel. The world needs to make public transport the primary mode of transport everywhere.

    sabreW4K3 OP ,

    Aren't you kinda doing exactly what you're complaining about?

    Please don't take this as me trying to be confrontational, it's not that. Just curiousity.
