+1 to this one. Shareholders are the real customers these days. I’d say there’s also a hefty amount of corporate peer pressure; “we’ll be left behind if we don’t move quick!”

Yeah it’s horrible. Then I turn it off and realize that it’s somehow even worse without it.

I appreciate the negative reviews too. Thanks!

Whoa so that’s like a build your own keyboard app or something?

What makes it unexpected?

I’m with you. That looks like someone hacking into the mainframe.

Cool I’ll take a look. Thanks!

Lmao nice

Swiper, no swiping!

I kind of hate takes like these because its such a false equivalence. People aren’t OK with it, but the vast majority of people don’t have time to fight this battle when every single aspect of modern technology is in a constant arms race to do more and more surveillance.

It’s great there are people like you who want to promote more private alternatives, and even better that people are making more private alternatives, but the reality is most foss apps are far inferior user experiences to corporate apps. Until that changes it’s always going to be an uphill battle to convince people to switch, and it’s not because they’re “ok with corporate surveillance”. That isn’t even in the calculation to begin with and it’s not making any friends or building any bridges to imply that about people. You would help your cause a lot if you took a less judgemental approach to spreading the word about it.

Sorry for the soapbox, but I see this attitude on here a lot and it really misses the mark and does damage to an otherwise worthy cause (spreading the word about better software). I don’t think you mean anything bad when you say this, but I just want you to understand how it comes off to people who aren’t invested in that lifestyle.

The less typos thing seems like it would be true even at a glance. That was my first thought seeing this.

I haven’t heard of that one (thumb key). What’s it’s claim to fame?

I guess you must like it then?

Is Fdroid like a third party app store app or something? I see people talk about it a lot on here but I don’t know what it is.

Cool I’ll take a look. Thanks!

I’m surprised to hear that it doesn’t get angry at you!

I’ll have to check this one out I think. Lots of people in here recommending it. I’m guessing it’s not on Google play?

Software is in such a sad place these days. Everything is in a constant state of decay it feels like.

Very cool, I think I’ll have to check this one out. Thanks for all the replies.

Yeah that’s exactly the kind of thing I don’t want. If I wrote a word and it’s spelled correctly, I wish autocorrect would leave it alone instead of incorrectly guessing a different word. Oh well, one can dream.
