It's 2023 and we're talking about typing words on a tiny mobile keyboard... What a dystopian place we live in now. The ideas are all so backwards and underwhel

  LLM chatbots are going to make typing words on a tiny mobile keyboard a lot more common in the near future. That’s going to annoy a lot of people, because slate smartphone keyboards universally suck. My PinePhone’s mechanical keyboard is a step up in this regard, but not perfect.

  This is confusing to me. It's an old and open protocol, I don't see it's continued use as dystopian. If you want to worry about something, worry about Google and apple's repeated attempts to man-in-the-middle attack SMS by hijacking it and sending it through their servers instead of by SMS.

  With voice to speech and predictive text I can write text on my tiny mobile keyboard pretty fast with good enough accuracy for correspondence type messages. I can do this from anywhere on Earth and I won't have to bring a heavy laptop. Every pound I can cut helps when I have to travel. That said I usually bring a small laptop when I travel, but it usually stays in my luggage unless absolutely necessary.
