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?

    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.
