I found that the keyboard struggled with swiping and the voice was okay but not great. I had to begrudgingly switch back to Gboard. Has the futo keyboard gotten better?

@IanClarkeSanity Big disagree. I don't believe most spammers have a single cent per email type budget. You're going to have to show the data that suggests that a $1 increase in budget would break spammers. Botfarms are extremely profitable businesses with clients that often have large budgets as well.

@maskettaman1488 I'm glad my vagueness didn't hinder your experience. 😒

@oladrolahola I'm not sure. It was when they initially released. I'll give it a go again and report back.

@IanClarkeSanity please explain the technical requirement for the centralization?

@IanClarkeSanity Any centralization of a social credit score type system is a terrible idea. No thanks! I do not see the technical requirement for centralized registration or for money to be involved at all. We have spent the last 10 years figuring out alternatives to currency based trust systems and none of them rely on centralization. Frankly, the worst of the spammers have a budget and the premise that increasing the cost of spamming would eliminate the business model is entirely untrue, it may even worsen the issue because there would be less competition for those who could pull it off and users would be more likely to read the emails that do get through making it an even more lucrative model. It may price out some but it would equally incentivise others. At the end of the day, no matter your reputation I may view you differently than someone else and no amount of positive or negative interactions with others will determine what your reputation is to me. Threat actors love to game these types of systems by building up networks of high reputation accounts over years and using them to socially engineer people i.e. xz and wikipedia. It is concerning to me that you'd even suggest centralization without any technical requirement on something as sensitive as a social credit scoring system.

@user-wn2ho5ij5f you can't. No matter how hard you try the client will never be a trusted environment. Now they're building Arduinos that read from a Direct Memory Access card to do aimbots and have external wall hack overlays that are entirely undetectable. The sooner we can move away from trying to secure the client the sooner we can have cheater free games.

@XDRosenheim you're threat model is different than others. Not wanting a company to snoop on you is one thing where wanting to prevent the government from snooping on you is another. Both should be considered. Payment is unnecessary anyway for this type of system.
