    futo collaborates with and platforms curtis yarvin, a self-described fascist

    they also did a bunch of other shady bullshit which the article talks about, but which i don't consider to be as important

    Goddammit, now I have to find another keyboard for my phone. Any recommendations for one that isn't supported by fascists?

    i’ve switched to HeliBoard on my tablet!

    i wouldn’t call it a drop-in replacement (i don’t think it has swipe-to-type or voice recognition for example, tho i could be wrong) but for me it works even better

    I use Unexpected Keyboard.

    It's mainly made for programming or using Termux, and it makes some special characters more accessible than the classic keyboards. It also has a mechanic for typing special characters that makes it faster to type. And you can enable a compose key, which is something I love to see on a phone keyboard.

    Unexpected doesn't have voice recognition though, but it can be enabled by installing a voice recognition app alongside the keyboard.

    I don't use the voice type thing anyhow. i get its usefulness, but I often don't like being perceived and speaking my texts aloud makes that difficult. looks like it does lots of other cool stuff though. does it do swipe to text? I like that a lot.

    ETA: I looked at it and see the swipe to corner feature, which looks neat, but was referrering above to the ability to swipe through multiple letters to make a word.

    I use florisboard, it doesnt have built-in voice support but you can use a seperate app for that and more unfortunately it doesnt have corrections and recommendations. They are working on implementing them but even without that its by far the most solid keyboard ive found.

    You're getting astro turfed to hate a company that is actively fighting tech monopolies. Please take a minute to reflect on why this happens.

    You're astroturfing to allow right wing influencers to be legitimatized socially. Please take a minute to reflect on why you are enabling Nazis.

    You sound like a reasonable person, totally not internet brained, and I long for your approval.

    and here we are, longing for your sage wisdom and approval...

    Anyone who openly hosts or works with yarvin doesn't get my trust, business, or attention. None of the already established and successful projects futo claims to have given 'grants' to need futo's help, and I don't need futo.

    Can we stop giving a shit about stuff like this? Open source is arguably more important than a single peraon's political beliefs...

    as a trans woman i'd rather not promote and fund (indirectly, but still) the people who want people like me dead

    i'd rather their white supremacy, misogyny and queerphobia not become the norm in open-source spaces, more than it already is...

    FUTO is seemingly lead by an entirely unrelated toxic individual. But as for 37signals:

    The open source web application framework Ruby on Rails was initially created by David Heinemeier Hansson for internal use at 37signals, before being publicly released in 2004.

    for further context on DHH, CEO and founder of 37signals: he also made omarchy, the infamous dodgy-personal-arch-config-turned-linux-distro, is in large part the reason why framework is in so much hot water right now, and the reason he's bad (and why we're mad at framework for collaborating with him) is he's an open white supremacist

    framework is in so much hot water right now

    Most people don't care.
    And honestly, I understand Framework's position. They collaborate with about a dozen other distros.
