You can do that today with the FUTO keyboard lol. It uses a small language model for predictive text.
Brave Search, not because I like the company and their crypto/ai shenanigans but they have some nifty features and (supposedly) an independent index.
My stance is neutral, leaning towards negative. I think Google is still full of talented engineers who passionately want to build the best tech, but the higher ups are screwing up as seen everywhere else too. Their basis for all this data collection seems acceptable (personalization) but they're blind to the fact that this information can quickly fall into the wrong hands, like a hacker or bad government.
I still use a Google Pixel with the stock software because of the little things other ROMs don't provide, as well as Maps, Drive, Wallet, YT and Home. For everything else I use alternatives, albeit it's not because of a super strong dislike towards Google itself but because I want to support the competition.
Native Wayland apps run great. Can't say the same about those using XWayland, as most of them suffer from graphical glitches and flickering (especially Steam and Minecraft). Secure Boot works with some manual configuration.
you can run an ArchiveTeam Warrior on your server and choose the URLs project. if i understand correctly, the Warrior will continuously visit randomly discovered websites to download their contents and upload them to a server that later feeds the data into the Internet Archive. best of both worlds - your ISP has a harder time distinguishing your real traffic from the ArchiveTeam-generated one, and your server is actively contributing to IA.
GrapheneOS has sandboxed Play Services which basically means they run just like a normal app on your device and you get to choose the permissions they get. My bank's app works with it too (no GooglePay tho). It does require you to get a Google Pixel phone though, which might defeat the whole purpose for some.
I don't use Pawb.Social that often but the decline in performance is very noticeable through the webapp.
