The answer is here, you don't need to enable multilingual typing, you just need to add Heliboard as spell checker on your system Settings. Then, of course, choose the right language in Heliboard and have a dictionary for that language too

That's why it's better to download as many apps as possible from F-Droid. All apps are Free Open Source and checked for anti-features (like ads, tracking, etc.). Lots of basic (and not so basic) apps which are ad free, tracker-free and free to advertise that way.

They both do. I have never used that function, so I cannot say how good the Android Auto integration is.

I'm going to paste here the comment I wrote on another post about this same issue:

Organic Maps and OsmAnd are not adding ads during navigation. Nor "promoted pins". Nor ads when browsing the map. Nor tracking your every move.

Seriously, give them a try. And remember that, if the maps are lacking information, you are free (and encouraged) to improve them on OpenStreetMap.

Open Tracks allows exporting in either KMZ (default), KML or GPX format. Go to Settings, tap on "Import and Export" and there look, towards the end, for the entry "Export/sharing file format".

I know about Obtainium, thanks, but I prefer to avoid having several different sources for apps. Besides, F-Droid builds apps from source and checks for anti-features, so it's a nice to have check that the app is not doing anything sketchy.

Proton Mail used to be available on IzzyOnDroid's F-Droid repository but I can't find it there anymore.

Will it come back? or even better, will it come to the official F-Droid repository?

It's removed from Elsevier's site, but still available on PubMed Central: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11026926/#

The worse part is, if I recall correctly, articles are stored in PubMed Central if they received public funding (to ensure public access), which means that this rubbish was paid with public funds.

Wanted to say the same: the typo made the comment better. There has to be a community for this.

MP3Tag sounds cool, but there's no Linux version it seems :(

Also, is there any reason to switch to newpipe if ReVanced is serving me well?

I guess for most people not, but there can be some:

  • privacy: NewPipe doesn't require you to log on to a Google account (but it so connects to Google servers if you watch YouTube videos). You can, however still follow channels (only locally, obviously)
  • ability to download videos or just audio. An extra is that on ReVanced you can have the download function through a 3rd party app, you can choose from several and NewPipe is one of them.
  • NewPipe can also play content from other sources, like Bandcamp or SoundCloud.

A reason to not switch would be... the interface is not very ptetty
