BinStorm··on Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android
I love the fervor with which this is written, but the threat is so weak I literally chuckled.

Imagine your an exec or manager on the team for keyboard development. You read this, get to the end to discover the user is gonna switch devices for... 2 whole calander years?

What's that amount to? Maybe 2 device upgrades on If your a die hard gotta have the newest latest model phone each year. Then what? you'll be back?

The threat doesnt even carry the weight losing a user for a 2 year blip, registers more as a dropped ping request then a drop in revenue.

If meant to be whimsical sure nailed it. To be fair I mean any boycot with a large scale mfg carries about the same weight. just thought it fell flat as much as anything.

BinStorm··on Phind.com Is Shutting Down
Man this one hurt, I try to avoid AI, but felt this project was really helpful. Someone else commented about how this maybe unsustainable without Mega Corp funding and they maybe right. It's scary that we are losing more and more alternatives to the Google's of the world...

Ouch.
