BwMessenger was launched in 2020 and Android Playstore shows 50k downloads. That doesn't seem like mass-adoption. I don't see anything replacing WhatsApp in Germany, unfortunately.

Calendar app devs will love the migration project.

Why doesn't the screenshot show the prompt but only its title? Unnecessarirly suspicious since it wouldn't even be hard to fake it.

Both are so stupid and I still chuckle every time I see those.

Applicable and economic solutions are needed now though. The tech isn't there and yet the moron of a Minister tries to force it, no matter the cost.

You're right, scratch that.

I've just never downloaded apks directly from Github and probably shouldn't recommend it for the reasons OP gave wrt keyboard apps.

I got confused by that issue about naming conflicts with the original OpenBoard. If you have installed that one, you need make your own debug build to run them in parallel.

Unfortunately, it's an abandoned project that hasn't gotten updates for 2 years.

There's an active fork ~~but no release yet, you can only install by building it yourself~~: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard

No, they can't since I don't have a Google mail address. Even if I had, they'd have a harder time building a social graph when I communicate with others outside of Gmail.

That's the superior approach and Firefox introduced it far earlier than Google addressed the problem.

Why OP is blindly arguing in that corp's favor and ignoring all the reasoning provided here, is beyond me. Shilling?
