Wait... You can sideload on ios? Since when?
Yep! The police, being fascists, HATE this.
What?
Pretty sure I hugged it to death with the post. Was working fine for the last couple of days.
Ok cool, but I'll still support this initiative, because as FUTO states, a keyboard should not connect to the internet.
You're missing the whole anonymization layer they've implemented here. If actual typing data is used, the app can't guarantee user control of the data after opt-in. The data they're using here is not private user typing data to begin with.
I'd recommend listening to Louis Rossman's talks on the subject.
Data is data! You're a use case, regardless of swipe ability.
The entire point of the keyboard is that it's not built in. The philosophy behind the organization making it says that it shouldn't be built in.
Nope
No noticeable difference.
I'm trying to imagine voluntarily buying a device that all but prohibits you from choosing the software you run on it. A limit of 2-3 apps, which have to be re-signed weekly by a desktop server, to me that doesn't count as "supporting sideloading." Maybe technically. What a joke.
