Yep, this is the explanation. People are still trying to rationalize "why do this in months, its all gonna collapse!" not understanding that collapse is the actual point.

I 100% agree. Whenever these companies start with their own projects I immediately get suspicious that their goal is to enshittify down the line with vendor lock-in.
The only reasons why I'm seriously considering a Tuxedo are 1. European brand and 2. Double SSD.
Not a lot of laptops seem to be offering double SSD while being Linux compatible, so my hands are kinda tied.
When was it the last time a Christian did that? Other than JWs who have stopped knocking on doors like 9 years ago.
Btw, I've 100% had Hare Krishna's and other "better yourself" religions bothering me for money. And christianity is a "better yourself" type of religion, too.
There's so much wrong with your comment that really, all the downvotes you are getting are totally warranted.
Doesn't Migadu work for calendars? Its a bit finicky, but I used these instructions and it worked for me.
Not sure about contacts though.
Good alternative? Hum, I'll have to disagree with you there.
Firstly, Heliboard it is closer to Gboard than to FUTO, which is closer to Swiftkey. Its actually the reason why I went with FUTO, I need that split keyboard.
Secondly, prediction on Heliboard is just not there. Like, at all. It was absolutely maddening to use, it would predict completely unrelated words even when using custom libraries.
And it actually got worse over time because it started saving nonsense words like "GRT" or "hafe" directly onto my personal dictionary. At one point all I would get was nonsense word after nonsense word. I had to abandon it, it was borderline unusable after a certain point.
Like the commenter above, I too want to sponsor FOSS projects as much as possible, but the offers simply aren't quite there yet.
What issues have you found with FUTO? I'm using it RN and beyond Swype being kinda finicky, it works flawlessly.
But yeah, not FOSS. The FOSS keyboard alternatives are indeed atrocious, especially Florisboard which oddly enough seems to be GrapheneOS's favourite option for a future standard keyboard.
For my Americans across the pond, I ask earnestly:
What could Russia do today that would cement themselves as an unparalleled oligarchy where just a few people control everything with no regard for anybody else in their country, that the US isn't already doing?
