It's a requirement in Australia for it to be paid to the government bond agency. Typical method of paying it is a cheque payable only to the bond authority. Once you hand back the keys at the end of the lease you can apply directly to the bond agency for it to be refunded to you and the landlord needs to formally object to claim any of the bond.

That's what I've been doing. I use Futo as my regular keyboard, but Gboard for Japanese input. I did have to give it network access very briefly when I first installed it to let it download some dictionary/autocomplete. But working fine since I disabled network again after that.
Grayjay had a number of issues recently too. Guessing some changes on YouTube's side. Recent updates have fixed things.
Thank god. I've been regularly checking the Github page waiting for it to finally land in browsers. Can hopefully start using the pollyfill for it soon.
I'm using the Google Pixel Camera on Graphene OS and don't believe there's any difference in quality. It doesn't require Google Play Services to be installed and you can deny it network access to cut it off completely.
They are vegan here in Australia and a few other countries I think. I have been bitten by that when traveling overseas and not realised they weren't.
I've been using it for several months mostly due to it's UnifiedPush notifications support and been really happy with it.
Yeah, in self hosting MollySocket and my own Ntfy server. I'm in the process of moving it all to my NAS so I don't have to leave my computer on all the time.
I really wish Signal would support it natively.
I'm using Molly with UnifiedPush for notifications and it works quite well.
Another recommendation for Proton Mail. As others have said I'd recommend getting your own domain for email so you can always migrate providers without having to change your email address.
They do have e2e for emails. Any emails between Proton Mail users are always e2e encrypted, as are any emails others send you which they've encrypted with their own maio client. If someone sends you an email unecrypted (most email is), then Proton will encrypt it for you and put it in your inbox. They can't read it after that, but there is some trust required that they don't store/look at the unecrypted email before then.

Well, still plenty of dogdy landlords who take advantage of people who don't know about that requirement and either take it for themselves or push renters towards "resolving disputes between themselves" and not involving the bond authority at end of lease time.
