Gboard runs OK without any permissions, so if you don't find anything good enough, that still could be your solution. I tried many other options but haven't found a bilingual swipe keyboard as good as Gboard unfortunately. I just gave it network permission to download dictionaries, switched off all permissions, and it's running smooth since months now.

Those purchases will be lost if you want to degoogle. Just went through this some time ago and actually it was a good opportunity to think about which one I'm really using. The ones I really like and there was an opportunity to buy them outside of the Google ecosystem, I rebought (for example Tasker). For all others, I found good replacements.

I feel like their goal is more close to providing a privacy-minded alternative to Google's G-suite to "regular" users, so for me it totally makes sense. But yeah, I'm also really waiting for the Linux drive app.

I kind of agree with TAETRO on most of the points he's raising in his reaction video. Beato does not deliver any hard facts, and his main point being the word Music searched less on Google is downright stupid. https://youtu.be/O6cklqtTW20&t=0

Although one major thing he missed (maybe intentionally as he's also part of the YouTube machine) is that controversial videos give you the views and the money in the end of the day.

For me it would help if there would be an option for me to see the at least the reason why the call is being made and also an estimated time of the call.

And with work related calls, it kind of makes me insecure to not know the topic beforehand. I don't want to blob out some half information. Write it in email, I'll see for it and get back to you.

So great to meet another PCU fanatic here. Really serious research by AdamEatsAss, job well done.

Father of a 1,5 year old here. First off, I was kind of the same. But maybe we didn't have a huge difference in our feelings with the wife. As many have wrote, holding the child for the first time is really something, then her first smile, and the first day spent together just the 2 of us, hearing "Daddy" when you get home...

I understand the anxiety but you shouldn't get ahead of yourself and think about the problems. One good reasons for this from our example: our child sleeps from 9 to 7 with walking up just a few sips of water once or twice. I would never guessed this before and would have been silly to be anxious about it.

You'll be fine, just be sure to support your wife in this time and the feelings will come.

300 searches/month feels tight for my use case. How do you manage? Are you using something else for search?

I'm using DDG and I'm ok with it, every one out two time a month I check Google results for some topic, and DDG seems to do well.

None of these feel like essential feature for me, I'll be still more happy using a custom ROM.

The Long Dark

I feel like OP did the right thing by heart, and this story would have had a different ending in a country with different gun laws and history of gun violence. Also if the case really is OP was let go to show others that they should not engage in this "reckless behaviour" I feel it at least it should have been communicated as such when fired.

I have my navigation buttons turned off for years now, so I couldn't disagree more.
