Just start at 1, set color, keep incrementing until the last LED in the string doesn't control anything

ASRock's RGB is the worst of the worst, and even the best official RGB software is garbage. ASRock is many tiers of trash below them.

RGB software is such garbage. Aura sucks, Synapse sucks, iCue sucks, Polychrome really really really sucks, RGB Fusion sucks, they're all bloated garbage designed to lock you into an ecosystem and produced by the lowest tier of programmers around apparently as they are unstable and usually incredibly bloated messes.

This nonsense is why I started working on what eventually became OpenRGB.

Do it!

Why not both. Protecting yourself from shitty behavior is important, but so is calling it out when you see it.

Seriously, who thought a .com shortcut was necessary? Get rid of uniquely useful keys for stupid gimmicks that save a few seconds at most? Bad design.

Hacker's Keyboard has an option for a persistent notification that can be used to bring up the keyboard whenever you want. On mobile Linux, at least on Phosh (which is the environment that squeekboard is a part of) there is a button on the bottom bar that pulls up the keyboard whenever you want it.

postmarketOS on a OnePlus 6T. I have used various other distros on my PinePhones as well.

I know for sure it's on F-Droid. I installed it fairly recently (like a month ago). Pretty sure the name is "Hacker's Keyboard" and you need the apostrophe in the search or F-Droid won't find it.

The problem is that they keep making stuff that was formerly a purchase (download, physical copy, run locally, etc) into unnecessary cloud services just to justify the transition to "X as a service". I want to download it and keep it on my home server, not pay a recurring fee to access the same file over and over from a server.

EEE and enshittification are very related concepts. The extinguish phase of EEE usually goes hand in hand with enshittification as once you've extinguished the competition you're free to cut costs and enjoy a monopoly. Cutting costs leads to enshittification.
