    I downloaded f-droid, and it was threatened same as all other options, essentially. How can I customize it to exclude little yellow faces?

    I just deleted it because although you can disagree emoji button, emoji still pop up in almost every predictive text option. I am just so sick of seeing yellow faces.

    Thank you, but I'm on android as the post says, and Google's "gboard" app has no such features, unfortunately.

    I tried this in earnest, but unfortunately, my 1 year old Galaxy A54 is apparently "too new," for this program. I even downloaded it from 2 different sources.

    Hello friends, and thank you in advance for any help on this topic.

    I am looking for an android keyboard that does not have emoji, stickers or gifs, but also has long press options for special characters like dashes, slashes and colons etc.

    Searching online for variants of "no emoji keyboard," only floods my results with the opposite and it's beyond frustrating!

    I realize that the answer is likely right under my nose and I'm just missing it for whatever reason.

    I would glady pay money for such an option if only I could find one.

    I'm sorry if this question is silly or posted in the wrong thread, but I'm at my wits end.

    Again, thank you for any help or redirection to my query!

    Cheers!

    I love downtempo music, I love a good blues song and I really appreciate some nice, mellow instrumental tracks.

    But I could never understand the hype for Moby.

    To me, it is the most boring, uninspired music of it's respective genres and era.

    The more popular songs from this record in particular, "Natural Blues," "Bodyrock," and "Honey" are repetitive and pretentious in my opinion.

    I always got the impression that Moby's music was so surface level that other people who just barely broke from the mainstream would dig it, but more hardcore music heads would just look past it.

    1999 was a vastly different time in music and music discovery, my daughter was born this year, and I finally got to see deeper into the world of music thanks to Napster etc., but to this day, I roll my eyes when I hear anything Moby.

    I'm sorry, I know this sounds shitty, and that's not my intention, I promise. I'm glad we all like different stuff, but I just can't wrap my head around the hype for this particular artist.

    Even its torrent option wouldn't recognize my torrent client apps.

    Not OP, but I love knowing what's visible in the night sky, planets, constellations etc. And it's a neat conversation starter if you're out at night with other humans.

    No offense, but maybe your pallete is just conditioned that way? I can't imagine praising fast food for being anything other than fast. Otherwise, I avoid it all, but entirely.

    Are you trying to maximize profit from said devices, or just gain a service fee for shipping them out? Would you consider donating them? No wrong answers, just curious.

    As a data hoarder, I have to like most of an album to consider putting a band in my library. If I only like a song or 2 from a band, I just won't keep it. That being said, if you put my music collection on a single playlist, it will play over 3 months.

    I know my system wouldn't make sense for most people, but I like whole albums, and don't listen to "hits" or whatever.

    I mostly listen to metal, classical, hip-hop, trihop, downtempo, shoegaze, jazz and some stuff on the edm spectrum.
