Re: Android keyboard: your choice.

Arno,

Well - if a keyboard app offers to use the names of your contacts
as word suggestion, this can not be done differently.

You're stuck on a technological solution where a simpler one already exists.

Do you have a pet ?   Are you going to put its name in that contacts list
too ?   If not, how /do/ you get its name in that exclusion list ?

And yes, I already mentioned that earlier in this thread.

But feel free to ask someone to fork the app and create a version which
does not have the contact name integration and thus doesn't need contact
access either.

Or do the more obvious, and look for an already existing app which doesn't
require it.   And IIRC, I alread mentioned one.

Then don't use the app and look for something else since you don't
believe anyone anyway.

I *thought* we had a discussion about a permission and how its easily a
privacy risk.  I guess I was wrong.

I also tried to explain how my trust needs to be of another, higher level
than yours and how your 'trust' (being able to inspect and understand the
sourcecode) looks to be anything but.   For some reason you had little to
say to that.

I think we should end this thread.
