What custom keyboard do you use, and which layout?

I wrote about battery drain in response to another user who had issues on Graphene, even though this is a general Pixel issue, and has nothing to do with Graphene. The modem chews through the battery if you don't have good connectivity, although I'm not sure if that's still a big problem with the 7's and 8s. It definitely is with the 6.
Personally, I had problems with adapting to the "don't try to be a power user" philosophy of Graphene. I was used to flashing ROMs, rooting and customizing the hell out of my previous smartphones. Then I suddenly had a device which just... worked. It's still an odd feeling, but I got used to it.
Just wanted to add to the other users unique experiences. From the perspective of someone who was a "the only good phone is a phone which is one small mishap away from being bricked" kinda guy
I'm on Graphene too and I once read that the modems used in Pixel phones are pretty trashy and drain a ton of battery. If I filter my battery usage by system, it shows that network standby almost consumes half of my battery charge (~46%).
Maybe the other guy here is right and it's a VPN issue (too)? idk. Anyway, I didn't really found a solution for this except leaving my phone on airplane mode at night.
why do most communist States have this knack for massive intelligence gathering on its own citizens?
Corporations have this knack too. Everybody in power does. It's just that one privately owned corporation can only reach so far.
The battery life is interesting. Everything else, yawn
Wake me up when there's a new, more efficient APU and they stop marketing better displays, more memory and USB while not even having trackpads.
One reason I'm thankful for Obtainium is because "OAuth was not approved by Google, etc for the F-Droid build" of Fair Email, and unfortunately, that's still important for me. Obtainium is able to download from the official F-droid repo too.
Hell yeah Sauerbraten all the way
