The spellchecker by default does (as part of some initiative regarding improving spellcheck or whatever). There is a setting to disable it and another setting to disable telemetry. Disabling both of these effectively makes the keyboard offline apart from things like Stickers and Emojikitchen.

You can also block internet access to GBoard and it’ll work just fine.

If you don’t hard-depend on GBoard, you may wanna look into Florisboard and Helium314’s OpenBoard Fork

Bitwarden has TOTP in their premium plans, otherwise check https://ente.io/auth

Florisboard and OpenBoard are good. Sadly the primary version of OpenBoard seems unmaintained, but there is this fork by Helium314 with extra features and bug fixes that’s still maintained.

Additionally these servers are random per-contact, can be changed around and all data and almost all metadata is either encrypted or otherwise protected ;)

SimpleX uses servers, but they’re just relays and due to SimpleX’s design, no single server can figure out who you are or who you’re talking to. By using Tor they also couldn’t band together and fingerprint you by IP.

If you want to see the model explained, visit their website or just ask here, I’m glad to explain how it keeps your contact graph, identity and messages private :)

Good one!

Inform them that privacy is not secrecy.

“Yeah, I know what you do on the toilet, but don’t you still close the door?”

It is important to recognize that Privacy is a human right, and without it we cannot reasonably express ourselves and potentially democracies could be threatened too. With our right to Privacy not always being upheld, we need to take matters into our own hands where reasonable and push back.

Edit: not to mention that anything we do now may become illegal five minutes from now. Nowadays we cannot know.

DivestOS would be closer to what Graphene provides for more devices

As a lineageOS fork it has good compatibility, but the maintainer regularly updates the OS and maintains it with their own hardening patches as well as patches from GrapheneOS

honestly for your threat model (from what I can read here) it’d actually make a lot of sense to use the smartphone. With something like Signal you get encrypted calls and messaging, which would help you circumvent your worries regarding tracing of conversations.

Of course you’d wanna do this on some de-googled android distribution as you seem to be concerned about that. Personally DivestOS, GrapheneOS or even plain LineageOS should all do fine
