Obviously, don’t upload any photos to the demo site that you wouldn’t want shared. That’s pretty basic internet 101. The point is to demonstrate the amount and types of information Google infers from its users’ data. So feed it a pic you don’t care about, or try with the supplied images.


Best part? The description supplied here is probably a limited version of all the information that Google infers from each of your photographs. It would make sense to ask for a short 3 paragraph summary of key observations to fit within API limits. On Google’s end? No reason for such limits to exist. So they infer even more from your data than this website can show. And they run this kind of compute on everything you give them.

They “claim” that they don’t sell or share this data. Do you trust them?

You might say you have nothing to hide, but you also don’t get to control the shifting definitions of what’s acceptable. Today you’re fine. Tomorrow you’re labeled a political dissident because of the evidence of Wrongthink that Google happily supplied to the government without your knowledge. Especially in light of the incoming administration, this is an important discussion to have.

Here is a list of FOSS Google Photos alternatives. Immich looks particularly good to me.




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.



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.




Do you have the LLM fine tuning enabled? Mine is pretty good after a few months of training it.



FUTO Keyboard Swipe Typing accuracy improvement - deGoogled keyboard for Android needs your help
If you use the privacy respecting Gboard alternative called FUTO keyboard, you've probably noticed that the built in swipe typing is HOT GARBAGE. (Typing this currently with two thumbs for this exact reason.) Most keyboards improve their swipe algorithms by simply spying on you and logging your typing data. FUTO isn't about that, so they have built a simple webpage based typing game that you can use to improve their system in an ethical and voluntary manner! Just swipe the website's keyboard to type a provided sentence. I love this, they can crowdsource the improvement without invading privacy! Share with any relevant communities you're a part of. The more data, the better this gets.

Switched to this a couple weeks ago. I’m used to swipe typing on gboard. Unfortunately the swipe typing on FUTO is nowhere near useable for me yet. The accuracy is horrendous, and much of the time it just gives up on inputting any word at all.

Unfortunately swiping on Gboard has been my main method of typing for more than a decade. I’m so accustomed to it that I can type full sentences without even looking at my phone.

So in an effort to improve my privacy (by discontinuing my use of a piece of keylogging spyware as a keyboard) I’ve sacrificed the speed of swipe typing. Everything takes much longer to type now. Worth it? I guess I’ll keep trying for a month or so and decide then.


Just wait till we can hook our neuralink implants into the system! Authoritarians and jackbooted thugs are absolutely SALIVATING at the prospect of unbridled access to our every thought. Coming soon! 😃👍


Nova does support subtitle download through OpenSubtitles, but has not updated to be compatible with their new REST API so that functionality has been broken for a few months.


It sounds like English is not your first language, so I understand your mistake.

The original comment asks “Am I the only one?” It does not declare “I am the only one.” The order of the words “Am” and “I” changes the meaning.

Nothing hostile was meant or implied. Simple misunderstanding! 😊
