Thoughts on a new phone keyboard from an organization that is making a convincing case we need to rethink our discussion around FOSS and self-hosting.

A pretty interesting take, and an interesting discussion about what it means to be open source. Is there room for a trusted space between open source and closed corporate software?

    My primary method of typing on mobile is swipe typing:

    FUTO dies does a fervent decent job at it, but it sum still has a way FYI to go fit for me to make a full switch IMO.

    I am quite impressed by the voice to text method though. But I do wish it would show what is being transcribed in real time. Overall, I’m impressed with what the team is doing. I can’t wait to see the next iterations of this, but for now, I think I’m going to have to stick with G board. Additionally, the GIF picker is super convenient on G-board.

      I like how you showed the incorrect words it was using while using the swipe typing. I had the same experience and, unfortunately, until it improved improves I’ll have to stick with what works… Gboard.
