De "futo"ing would be a good idea as well. Them being associated with Curtis Yarvin (literally their peer tube) who is a piece of shit close enough to elon musk and thiel.

Lou's Rossman's right to repair work is great. His ability to recognize and not associate with some of the shittiest people and groups has become legend. (Kiwi farms anyone?)

    Good to know. I just decided to try a gboard replacement and heliboard does pretty well.

    Yep, heli is what I'm using ATM. They are generally pretty solid and I haven't heard anything to recommend against the project. In fact they're completely voluntary and opt-in data collection to build their own swipe typing Library sounds like an awesome initiative and I hope they succeed with it.

    Atleast its better than Gboard lol,ย 

    any good alternatives? I'm so bad at typing in a phone my accuracy is pretty bad, I barely use my phone and I'm always on my computer that's probably the reason.ย

    I'm using heliboard at the moment. They offer swipe typing through the Google libraries currently. But are exploring a data collection process completely voluntarily to build their own swipe typing libraries.

    I did like futo's voice typing input method. It's recognition was generally right up there with Google's. Although there were certain words it frustratingly and consistently got wrong no matter how specifically I said them. But the fact that it could infer punctuation rather accurately where Google won't even try was definitely nice. Unfortunately I have not found a truly viable replacement for that sort of input yet. I definitely believe that sometime in the not-too-distant future there will absolutely be a Foss local solution. But I don't believe that futo's solution is trustworthy enough to believe that it was local Etc.
