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?

if your mission statement includes the word "normies" I'm fucking done.

So you don't want to be a target of intrusive marketing and data collection but are ok with the everyday person being one? FUTO wants to create software that "just works" while still completely respecting the consumer's rights. Not everybody has the time to troubleshoot issues or test out different foss products, and this is why proprietary software is so popular today.
