Which keyboard should folks on Android be using instead of GBoard?

https://search.f-droid.org/?q=keyboard&lang=en

Or is there a good FOSS one on the Play Store that isn't on F-Droid?

Whoa, the Brave browser is actually pretty neat.

What dark and insidious things should I know about it?

I'm sure there must be reasons to not use it.

I like the idea behind them.
I'm not against them.
I'm in support of others using them.

Maybe after I'm comfortable with Brave in "no-frills" mode I might dabble. But rather than earning them, I'd disable all ads and buy them.

#FOSS and #Linux folks, what are some good arguments regarding the "security through obscurity" trope?

Cyberpunk 2077, Proton, and nVidia
I'm impressed with how well Cyberpunk 2077 works on Proton Experimental.

Looks like we might need to wait a bit for the crashes w/ nVidia cards to be resolved.

I'm optimistic :)

When resetting to factory defaults, do not use a DB9-to-USB adapter to
connect the Dominion PX serial cable to your PC. This may result in
misinterpreted characters at the special prompt. Connect the Dominion
PX serial cable to a PC with a DB9 serial port instead.

Time to make a cable I guess.

Android client for Hubzilla (Nomad)

Mon, 29 Apr 2019 14:30:21 -0600

If you want an app to use this place on your phone, you're in luck. Sort of.

Android-only, and you have to enable installing apps from a 3rd party source.

F-Droid is a "store" for free and open source software (FOSS)

Install F-Droid, then install Nomad.
