    I 100% agree. Whenever these companies start with their own projects I immediately get suspicious that their goal is to enshittify down the line with vendor lock-in.

    The only reasons why I’m seriously considering a Tuxedo are 1. European brand and 2. Double SSD.

    Not a lot of laptops seem to be offering double SSD while being Linux compatible, so my hands are kinda tied.







  • Good alternative? Hum, I’ll have to disagree with you there.

    Firstly, Heliboard it is closer to Gboard than to FUTO, which is closer to Swiftkey. Its actually the reason why I went with FUTO, I need that split keyboard.

    Secondly, prediction on Heliboard is just not there. Like, at all. It was absolutely maddening to use, it would predict completely unrelated words even when using custom libraries.

    And it actually got worse over time because it started saving nonsense words like “GRT” or “hafe” directly onto my personal dictionary. At one point all I would get was nonsense word after nonsense word. I had to abandon it, it was borderline unusable after a certain point.

    Like the commenter above, I too want to sponsor FOSS projects as much as possible, but the offers simply aren’t quite there yet.








  • I have a different view.

    Have all governments move straight to FOSS federated platforms, so that the billionaire that caused this exodus (Musk) is eaten alive by other billionaires so that they learn that when they fk up, the entire billionaire class loses revenue. So they can experience some class infighting for once instead of laughing all the way to their pedo orgy islands.

    If one billionaire’s F*ck up leads to another billionaire’s increase in fortune (Bluesky), then all you’re rewarding is them to keep doing what they do with their manufactured “competition” BS.

    There’s no such thing as “target” and “non-target” billionaire, either. They all are targets so don’t let yourself get distracted.
