We weren’t the closest friends, and we fought too much anyways.

Like other people have suggested, maybe get a second phone (one of those really cheap ones with play Services) and use that for that stuff, and keep your main personal phone google-free.
I think Linux phones will gain some real traction within five years. Last I heard, KDE is putting great effort into making apps for Plasma Mobile
Someone actually said that to me the other day. (I am no longer friends with that person). I think its because people (especially americans) see that almost everyone is using iPhone so their tiny social media influenced brains say “If EveRy oNe USes ipHonE it beTteR”. Meanwhile us sensible people just sit here internally screaming.
Yes, banking apps, streaming apps, even some shopping apps. This has been a problem for a long time. Sometimes its for “security” reasons and sometimes its simply because the app uses Play Service APIs. Another issue on de-googled systems is push notifications, though that is often fixed through alternates like Unified Push
I feel like It’d be mostly clueless kids, because a lot people who don’t understand the psychological risks are probably still scared of AI and don’t want it in their lives. (At least in my experience.)
True…. I heard GrapheneOS is having trouble porting to the Pixel 10
Google’s developer verification will only run on mainstream Android with play services. It’s not supposed won’t be running in standard AOSP so the easiest solution would be to switch to a custom ROM like GrapheneOS.
Do it you fucking orange, do it.
But don’t be surprised when half your population moves to a better country.
Not more than 20. I am very conscious of how many tabs I have open
They do have a history of mental health problems. Childhood trauma from abusive grandparents, severe chronic insomnia, and panic attacks at random times. What concerns me is that they're willing to talk about their trauma but not whatevers going on right now. And I have no idea what's happening, I only know that they're acting off, its getting in the way of thier normal life, and that they dont want to tell me about it.

I’ve been planning to switch to GrapheneOS soon, though my carrier (Verizon) makes it kinda difficult.
