I've used Tutanota for a long time with no issues.

For the keyboard I would try Florisboard on f-droid, it gives a lot more spacing and sizing options. I basically make the keys as wide as possible and then play with key height. The bottom offset let's you raise or lower the keyboard as a whole to suit your grip.
I was a long time AnySoftkeyBoard user until a year or two ago when I finally decided Floris was just better. I've tried FUTO keyboard a little bit, it seemed fine but didn't offer enough customization options.
Calyx has you relock the bootloader similar to graphene so it shouldn't flag as rooted.
Not exactly the same situation but I've noticed that Chrome has moved from only being virtually unusable with my VPN running, to actually unusable. It just refuses to resolve URLs and won't search, previously it just gave tons of Captcha popups if I tried to do anything. Honestly at this point I've just accepted I have to make firefox based browsers work for everything from now on.
Iceraven, it let's me install desktop firefox extensions on android.
I think this is also a problem of old timers not being able to articulate their concerns well. There is probably a reason they do or don't do something a certain way, but if they can't explain why, then no one is going to listen. Blindly following someone for percieved wisdom doesn't teach you anything.
I actually like it when someone can show me why I'm wrong, because it saves me time. But if you can't tell me WHY my idea won't work, I'm probably just gunna do it anyway to figure it out myself.
I think this is as much a case of bad teachers as it is bad students.
If you look carefully you may notice that 16.4 - 10 = 6.4 which is not zero, so our original poster was off by at least 64%.
Yay I can do math too!
Good ideas absolutely do die all the time even in open source. If the original dev doesn't want to play nice, it's actually pretty difficult to create a new fork that everyone will agree on. Hopefully these federated apps have enough inertia to prevent the userbase from splintering when the original devs move on.
The court documents do not make clear whether Maland was struck by one of Youngblut’s bullets or a shot fired by a fellow agent.
Fuck... so the women who survived was the only one who shot at the agents, she got two shots off, and the agent who died may have been killed by friendly fire. The driver, who was killed, was a german national with an expired visa, he had a gun and may have reached for it but didn't actually fire any shots. What an absolute cluster fuck.
Maybe the real enemeies were the friends we made along the way? Wait... no probably not.
