NYPD urges citizens to buy AirTags to fight surge in car thefts
That's true for Apple's Tracker Detect app, but any thief could simply use the free and open source AirGuard app, which has more functionality than both Tracker Detect and the AirTag features built into iOS:
https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard
For example, AirGuard lets the user activate the alarm on any AirTag in range immediately without waiting any period of time. iOS and Tracker Detect only lets the user do this if it determines that the AirTag is following the user, and Tracker Detect adds another 10 minute waiting period for no good reason.
Good time to remind people that AirGuard exists.

This new gadget could help sniff out unwelcome AirTags: Find the Bluetooth devices that could be tracking you
Apple doesn't develop the Android OS, it's up to the Android developers to integrate tracking bluetooth low energy devices if they so choose. They could simply integrate the open source project AirGuard, for example.

AirTag
use something like apple's tracker detect app or airguard (github) to check for other air tags, in case theru was more than one, then follow bigbadbuff's advice.

Not natively. You need to install a specific app, for example:

- https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard

Capturing Airtags beacons and messages.
The beacons should just use BLE. For Android there's an app that lets you detect beacons tracking you. You can check out the source code to see how they parse the packets https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard

F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser
I didn't last long with the stock keyboard before installing AnySoftKeyboard which is one of the few FOSS alternative with support for swipe typing. The experience was... OK. It felt slow and it's accuracy left a lot to be desired. I still had to be slow and pretty accurate, so it didn't really feel like much of a change from the stock experience. FlorisBoard have also introduced their own implementation but the feedback I read suggested it would be much the same as my experience with AnySoftKeyboard's gesture typing.

CleverType: Unlock the power of AI with Grammarly, Wordtune and ChatGpt on your keyboard.
I am excited to see how this project will develop. I'm sure starting out with https://florisboard.org/ was extremely helpful. Other devs have started from scratch, but florisboard is already advanced and feature rich. You could keep it open source to alleviate concerns of privacy. Just an idea.

Android keyboard recommendations ?
The Github code repository (https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard) had an update on February 24, so the app is not abandoned. It reads like they plan a massive update for the next version, and word suggestions will be available.

Keyboard for Android
I tested two: AnySoftKeyboard, it's stable and works even on very old devices, but it lacks modern features and the settings are really ugly and confusing (but once you look at all of them, you'll be able to make the keyboard the way you like it, is very customizable). And I also tested FlorisBoard, it's modern, beautiful, but it's a work in progress currently in early-beta stage and it has many incomplete or buggy features. So I ended up with AnySoftKeyboard. I know there are others, but it was these two projects that caught my attention the most.

Custom keyboard extension
Probably only via AOSP mirror. It's an AOSP component so not officially available as its own component. Check out https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard for a GitHub based OSS keyboard.

Microsoft brings its Bing chatbot to your fingertips with SwiftKey on Android - The Verge
FlorisBoard (perhaps): This one is the dark horse for me. It's layout etc can be all customized to my liking and it's FOSS. But it doesn't have a suggestion provider API etc none of that yet (WIP) so, as it stands now it's "just" a highly customizable FOSS "keyboard" app, and nothing more. I have high hopes for it though.
