I’m trying to imagine voluntarily buying a device that all but prohibits you from choosing the software you run on it. A limit of 2-3 apps, which have to be re-signed weekly by a desktop server, to me that doesn’t count as “supporting sideloading.” Maybe technically. What a joke.

“Look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power!” -Android users

Wait… You can sideload on ios? Since when?

Yep! The police, being fascists, HATE this.

What?

Pretty sure I hugged it to death with the post. Was working fine for the last couple of days.

Ok cool, but I’ll still support this initiative, because as FUTO states, a keyboard should not connect to the internet.

You’re missing the whole anonymization layer they’ve implemented here. If actual typing data is used, the app can’t guarantee user control of the data after opt-in. The data they’re using here is not private user typing data to begin with.

I’d recommend listening to Louis Rossman’s talks on the subject.

Data is data! You’re a use case, regardless of swipe ability.

The entire point of the keyboard is that it’s not built in. The philosophy behind the organization making it says that it shouldn’t be built in.

Nope

No noticeable difference.

Do you have the LLM fine tuning enabled? Mine is pretty good after a few months of training it.

I thought so too! FUTO is a project worth supporting in my opinion.

An underused word to be sure

I did what I could to earn enough money to pay my rent, support my pets, and put food on my table.

Also, my current views on ads have been largely formed in a gradual process over the last 5-7 years, while I’ve been working in VO long before then.

If it’s any consolation to you, AI has devoured most of my market in the last 3 years and left me with maybe 5-10% of the work I used to get.

you’re one of them

More accurately I WAS one of them, but people change 😊

It’s the smarmy, overly excited, commercial voices for me. And I’m saying that as a VO artist who’s produced HUNDREDS of smarmy, overly excited commercials over the years. I’m so sick of it. I’ve taken drastic steps to try and block all ads from my life. Somehow it’s never enough.

Don’t think there’s any new info in the video.

For almost everyone it’s gonna be the phone we’re reading this on.
