I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before.

What’s some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

    People being okay with US tech-based keyboard apps effectively being keyloggers, and hoovering up every single thing they type into their phones. Its one of the reasons I made Thumb-Key.

    Keyloggers on desktop computers : 😦

    Keyloggers on phones : 🙈

      Ashamed to admit it took me way too long to realize smart phone keyboards were just built in keyloggers. I switched to OpenBoard a while back but phones in general are just built from the ground up to be a privacy nightmare.

      ThumbKey is very cool! I’m giving it a try and am typing with it now. I am very glad that apps like this exist. Thank you for developing it and for sharing it here! What a neat app and concept!
