minus-squaredustyData@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoThe only thing I dislike of heliboard is their swipe function requires Google binaries. Most FOSS keyboards either lack some feature I use or are immersed in wild controversies.

It’s still YOUR GPS location. It’s still YOUR data connection. A VPN is not a catch-all solution to privacy.
