EDIT: They want users to help generate a dataset. You just play a game and email them the data when you are done.
I just did it, it was easy.
Being asked to gesture words I don’t know, or Nierenfunktionsstörung and other long German words like that 😅☠️
The link I was looking for which is missing in the post: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki/Tutorial:-How-to-Contribute-Gesture-Data
The need to manually download and load a lib and then send the results manually via email is somewhat of a hassle, unfortunately.
FUTO Keyboard might be willing to share data. Its another open Open source keyboard. License purchase optional but encouraged.
FUTO is not open source.
https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard/
Uses their own license which forbids commercial use but the source is available and you’re free to modify and distribute it so…
Not proper FOSS and doesn’t meet the OSI definitions but colloquially speaking it looks pretty open to me.
Yeah the more damning thing is the fascism. Anything from or in any way connected to Curtis Yarvin should get a wide berth. Rossman hooking his wagon to Yarvin is disappointing. But well within the norms for him sadly. (Kiwifarms association etc) I want to like him and support him for his right to repair work. But personally I can’t.
FUTO has connections to Curtis Yarvin? Goddammit
All this FUTO hate must be coming from big-FOSS so they can sell more free.
It’s always inspiring to see random people on Lemmy calling out big-FOSS and sticking up for the little guy.
(Mandatory /s in case people don’t know that FUTO’s founder is literally a tech billionaire)
Heliboard is awesome, and once you get it installed its swipe works well. I’m off Android now, but I’d turn on telemetry for Heliboard.
