Protip: GTK can do hardware video acceleration using V4L2 on e.g. #Librem5, but only if you let it.

Adding "--device=all" to overrides lets it be used in #Flatpak apps that don't specify it in their permissions already, such as #Tuba.

eclexic (@theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social) #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.
