Popular XMPP App "Conversations" Removed from PlayStore by Google
Relevant copypasta:
Fellow humans, there are alternatives to Google and Apple! Your neck need not be under anyone's boot! You don't even need to give up any functionality:
Data service:
The simplest thing is to buy a prepaid SIM and top it off with cash. The lovely people over at /r/nocontract maintain a big spreadsheet so you can filter by various properties of the available contracts.
Another way to go is to pay for a postpaid plan with a virtual credit card (VCC) like at privacy.com. It won't be linked to your name at the telco, but of course privacy.com knows who you are. There is also Abine Blur, and some others.
Yet a third way to go, which is nascent, is buy an eSIM with crypto. You can also buy prepaid VCCs with crypto.
An interesting new choice is PGPP https://invisv.com/pgpp/ who rotate your IMSI and do some other cool stuff. It works by e-sims.
All these methods make you /pseudo/nymous, but obviously you're still identifiable by subscriber number and possibly IMEI, to put aside correlational things like your traffic profile. You can help this problem by routing everything through a VPN. Then you're pseudonymous but the cell carrier knows nothing about you other than that you use a VPN. Pay for the VPN with crypto. Of course now the VPN provider knows your traffic, but you're much more anonymous to them than you are to a telco. You make your choices. Defense in depth. Etc.
OS:
GrapheneOS: https://grapheneos.org/ Very much like Calyx, but extra-hardened and with no MicroG. No involvement with Google at all by default. You can make a secondary profile in which you install Google Play Services to set up an environment where you can run unprivileged Play services + whatever crapware you need that requires them. Unprivileged here means it's like any other app: if you don't give it access to your location, it won't know where you are. If you end the profile session when you leave, Play Services stops running and stops talking to Google.
CalyxOS: https://calyxos.org/ Privacy-respecting Android distribution that replaces Google spyware with MicroG, so you can have your cake and eat it too. Most everything will work as you're used to, but it does still talk to Google to make that happen.
LineageOS: https://lineageos.org/ The successor to CyanogenMod, will work with many different phones. More privacy and control than stock Android.
There are also many others: Sailfish, Replicant, e
Hardware:
CalyxOS and GrapheneOS run best on Pixels. The path of least resistance is to get one of these phones and run GrapheneOS with Google Services installed in one profile or other.
You could also buy a Librem 5 https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ If privacy and security and hacking are really important to you.
Or a pinephone: https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/
Neither work very well by regular standards, but they're cool :-)

LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5M Android devices
It might be worth to switch to GrapheneOS if you have Pixel phones: https://grapheneos.org/
It is a more serious project than LineageOS in the sense that they take security very seriously and they take their development more professionally too. There are no disadvantages to using GrapheneOS compared to LineageOS.

Iphone Vs Android
On 4thgen Pixels and up you can install GrapheneOS which is a security and privacy focused Android build. It does not come with any Google services pre-installed but you can put them on. https://grapheneos.org/

Microsoft killed my favorite keyboard
that one is good, but I detest keyboards with their own magic little dongle since it's a damn fine thing to misplace
I'm surprised OP didn't enjoy https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-ergonomic-keyboard... which is currently listed as out of stock but I dunno if that means "permanently" or what, but they seem to be available via 3rd party channels
Its "klacking" aside, pour one out for https://duckduckgo.com/?q=microsoft+natural+elite+keyboard&t... which I loved, although I'll be straight that I love the Surface Ergonomic better because I think its keytravel is much, much nicer and no weirdo + shaped cursor keys, the inverted T like $diety intended

Ask HN: Where are all the touch-based art forms?
Sculpture can be tactile. I know it's not purely tactile, but thinking of it in that way is becoming a lot more common (eg at the Louvre). And then I went to find a URL for the tactile dome at the Exploratorium in San Francisco (https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/tactile-dome) and it turns out there are lots of tactile galleries now:
