#Heliboard is gathering gesture typing data, so that we can implement a #FOSS alternative to the closed gesture typing library Heliboard currently relies on. The data we collect will be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0

I also made a video including details & instructions.

Boosts Please! The greater the diversity of people & languages in the data, the better we can test for correctness.

This is for medical research. Saving lives. When I say LLMs are killing people by killing research computing, this is what I mean.

I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.

The reason I started making computer wallpapers is that I wanted clean “surfaces” that felt sufficiently in-universe for pop-culture things I love, rather than character collages that were once provided as *official* wallpapers.

Over the years, I’ve kept finding what evokes the universe that also works as actual *backgrounds*, usually with lowish contrast so they aren’t distracting.

Lost the best part of an hour testing and trying to fix a Child Flow returning true to the parent via “Respond to an App or a flow”. I’m trying to test that output with a Condition and it would not work. I tried setting the output on “Respond to…” to text and yes/no. Tried with single quotes, without quotes, using Expression to pass boolean TRUE on BOTH sides (in the output and the Condition value).

I could see from looking at the results of the Flow it looked like it was returning a String but the Condition step gives no debugging output – you can’t see what it is comparing, never mind the Type!

In the end, I figured some magic auto-typing was happening somewhere and simply changed the output from the child to Text with the value yes (no quotes) and set the value of the Condition in the parent Flow to the same.

Worked immediately.

Wonder if I was actually doing it wrong?

I love everything about omg.lol except the name, which I am not sure would even appeal to my 11 y/o daughter.
