https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx has some apks you can download. The quality of the voice I've used is fantastic: I prefer it to Google's to be honest. The program itself has been buggy for me, though... Needing to launch the TTS launcher before I can use any application that would use it

Addiction, I suppose.
Well said. Contempt for the average user makes it easy to forget one's humanity.
I too miss the LED notification light. If you have an amoled display, check this out:
People say that? How odd, that seems like a totally different world. I don't agree with that sentiment! One is a general purpose communications protocol, the other is a community. As with any community, one can pick and choose who they fraternize with.
That's the point of federation! Choosing who you want in your community.
XMPP still exists - and I use it for chatting with one person. Nobody I know uses it. Techies I know use IRC and, more recently, Matrix. Or discord, disappointingly enough.
And I mention techies because the rest of the world is just happy with WhatsApp/Messenger/Slack et al.
What I'm getting at is that XMPP feels pretty dead in my experience. But who knows, maybe it would be in this same position regardless of Google like you allude to.
Step back, take a breath, and focus your beliefs into more succinct and tactful displays. And lose the passive aggressive judgment rhetoric.
Big pickups are nasty af. Actually useful pickups are sexy.
A little more tact could bring your comments a long way, my friend.
Especially at such a short EOL date.
