Yeah. There's something with their website and presentation that feels.. Well, it didn't turn off my alarm. I'm also too tired to dive deeper and find out by myself.

The keyboard seems really good though. Just wish the app would ask for mic permissions when it's actually needed.

Just learned about the FUTO keyboard. The source code license, the AI features and the requiremen to activate my microphone, made my BS/malware alarm go bzzz. So I looked up FUTO, and apparently it is an organization similar to FSF (but different).

So what is this FUTO thing? Are they good and trustworthy? Or is this just some new drug fueled eccentric crypto AI BS from Texas?

Is it "safe" to use the FUTO keyboard?

This license, plus that the app require microphone access, plus all the AI features, make my BS alarm go bzzz.

Slow travel by boat seems pretty awesome and relaxing. Unless there is bad weather..

Last couple of months has been dramatic and there is a huge demand for ethical and safe social media. Even mainstream conservatives start to look for alternatives when US oligarchs wage hybrid warfare against their nation.

And there are so many low hanging fruits right now. Like Facebook event and marketplace replacements on the fediverse. Or just a Facebook alternative that isn't Frendica. Or maybe a commercial fork of Frendica.

I'm not involved in any development of fediverse software, so I'm asking here. Do you experience more interest from venture capital?

Also, I assume EU will pour big money into social media alternatives, starting 2025.

Note: I'm not interested in a discussion regarding if VC is good or bad for the fediverse. That's a good topic for another post though.

I plan to end my Facebook account before January 19. I like the format and would like something similar in the Fediverse. Also, I need a good Facebook alternative I can show people when trying to convince them to leave Facebook.

So what is the best Facebook alternative as of 2025? Frendica, Diaspora or Pleroma? Or something new and promising?

This is a good time to convince your employer that the company should switch to Linux workstations.

Can one still claim that the USA is a liberal democracy? Where do you draw the line?

I hope we will se more non-micro RTS games. More like HOI4, but that takes less than 1 hour to finish a game. Dune and Line Wars are on the right track.

This kind of talk is effective if you want to push EU towards China. Don't really understand the tactics here. Trump in a nutshell I guess.

If he's really interested in Greenland he should try to create more division between Greenland and Denmark. Maybe that's what we'll see next.

Honestly, I believe most people overestimate intellectual and conscious rationality. Among themselves and others. The rationalizing is usually there afterwards. To justify current emotions, actions and circumstances.

Self preservation, since one can't control much anyways. And one needs a somewhat coherent world view.

I find it quite simple. Voters are economic left/progressive and social right/conservative. Center left parties are economic center and social left. The trend is similar in all western countries. And it's a bad match.

The talk is that the Core Ultra 9 285K works better with Linux than Windows. What's your experience? And how well does it work with Proton?

[-] sith@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 month ago

Not much. Except for less competent leadership short term. And probably more forks long term.

[-] sith@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 month ago

Micro or NeoVim if you're a minimalist. Emacs or VS Code otherwise (a little bit of BS maybe). And Windows terminal plus WSL if you're on Windows.

Interesting that people still use Notepad++. Haven't touched it in 15+ years.

And Python of course.
