There's a fork of OpenBoard that enables swipe/glide typing. It's pretty darn good!

Yeah it's not on F-Droid so word of mouth it is!
It's not on F-Droid, likely because the swipe implementation that they've injected doesn't have an OSS license. There's a whole discussion on it in this thread. There's no privacy issue here as the fork also doesn't have network permissions or anything, but I can see why they'd be skeptical adding this piece of code to the main repo which has a proper FOSS license.

+1 to Mattermost. It's like having an open source Slack which can be self-hosted. There are a number of companies that use it including NASA and Samsung.
I've found this fork of OpenBoard quite useful. It enables glide/swipe typing which works perfectly imo and has great word predictions and autocorrect as well. Do try it out and see if it changes anything for you.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits and Horizon Zero Dawn would be my recommendations.
I know. I was going to buy a Pixel 7 for it but the G2 processor runs pretty inefficiently thanks to Samsung's 4nm process, as compared to something like the 8+ Gen 1. It's pretty weak in comparison as well. So I ended up getting a Nothing Phone 2 and manually degoogled it, swapped everything with their open source counterparts. Not full proof I know, but my threat model is escaping big tech surveillance and living an ad-free life which is more or less getting satisfied xD
-
Education regarding advertising ID and its deletion presented during setup (consent).
-
Addition of internet permission on per-app basis. Just like notifications now, every new downloaded app must get your permission to use the internet, else work in offline mode.
-
Give permission to only selected media to apps rather than everything. This is such a security risk, one bad app and it can steal whatnot.
Shhh let's pretend we are for Groo's sake here.
Although in all seriousness, my desktop has both: a 512 GB NVMe where the OS and apps are installed and a 2 TB 7200 rpm HDD where I dump data and some slower games.
Not their browser or VPN. But I do like and use their search as default on Firefox. Other popular search engines leech off big tech's index (DDG: Bing, Startpage: Google), at least Brave maintains their own index. Their AI summarizer is pretty good.
Much better, didn't think of that at the time.
FYI, there's a fork of OpenBoard that enables swipe/glide typing! Literally was a game changer for me!
