This is a silly take. It's an open source project from a non profit creating a new browser option

if something is sponsored by futo, shopify and 37signals???? run
i trust Ea-nāṣir more than i trust DHH
update me is this part of the joke or is there some problem with futo im unaware of
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
just downloaded it and am trying it out now. the autocorrect already seems better lol
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.

Thanks for posting this! I've been looking to switch away from Swiftkey since MS bought it, and I love the easily accessible symbols on this (I do a bit of terminalling on mobile).
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.
curtis yarvin sounds like the name of a star wars imperial officer the nazis are getting out of control
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.
Except we do care, and we Framework is going to see this as we stop buying their products going forward.
Non-browser companies I don’t like are sponsoring a browser engine alternative so they don’t all end up getting hosed by Google’s lock-in.
As long as the end result is what I want I am alright with jerks I don’t like footing the bill if our separate self-interests are momentarily aligned.
This is a wait-and-see for me.
Yeah. Corporate sponsorship for the purposes of "get us the hell out of this monopoly" is kinda how open source has worked so far.
Sometimes its fine. See: Linux
Ea-nasir? I'm out.
Yeah, as if finding FOSS alternatives to mega-corp software wasn't hard enough, now i have to care about the politics of a sponsor's co-sponsor's ceo's husband's dog's groomer before I install? Pass
Content not viewable in your region.
Could you provide an alternate link? Or maybe use the image button to upload it to your instance so it's out of the control of some corporation?
(Imgur deleted a bunch of content for the crime of not having a paid subscription, and they geoblock my country because the data protection commission threatened them with a fine for selling children's browsing history and they'd rather take it out on users than simply filter the accounts they auto-tagged as children out of the data they were selling. We left reddit for a reason. Imgur is no less moneygrabbing.)
Oh no!
Not me!
I never lost control.
You're face
To face
With the man who sold the world.
