Usenet for me as well and my 32.7 TB NAS.

All apps work fine on GOS no tinkering needed if a app is broken its broken on linage as well because of play integrity

So I have Aurora in my main profile that allows apps from play store with no play services installed it just uses the open source aurora store and my bank apps all work without playservices. And I don't use streaming services in anyway I buy everything on bluray and then rip it to my server. But with private space on android 15 you can install sandboxed play services in private space and it is 100% seperate sandboxed from your main profile and can use apps like Netflix etc that do require sandboxed play services and then when not using it you can pause private space essentially shutting it all down and preventing any of the apps from running in the background at all. Plus with sandboxed play services on GOS you can control all permissions for play services all way down to network so you can only allow network or more just depends on your personal threat level or how comfortable you are sharing the data. But even with sandboxed play services in a main profile would still be more secure as it only installs the play store and play services apps no AI.

As soon as Apple announced AI for iOS I sold my iPhone 15 and got a pixel and installed GrapheneOS on it and have no Apple or Google services installed all open source. And more importantly no AI.

To my knowledge reddit has always worked like this when a mod removes a post no new users that have zero interaction with the post will see the comments it removes the post from all. But if you have commented in the past or are a original OP or have the direct link to the post the comments will always be there.

This just seperates it into a secondary profile but all apps in your main profile are already sandboxed as well the only apps that are not sandboxed are system apps such as Play services. But you could use the app in a work profile(shelter) under a seperate Google account that would add a bit more anonymity. But android default app sandbox could be more secure there are other custom ROMs that do just that making the regular app sandbox even more secure.

Here is more information on how each android app is sandboxed(except Play Services)

I use this on my pixel with Graphene OS and it works great once I completely degoogoled my entire phone my spam calls and text pretty much all went away.

Hi how are you? 🤣🖖

Glad I don't use any Google services and no apps on graphene OS then for my main computers I run Fedora silverblue with no Google once again.

Glad I switched from iOS to Graphene OS and no Google all Open Source.

Could always search and see if there are any builds for it many open source router firmware out there. OpenWrt, DD-WRT is where I would start looking.

No there would be no blocking the would just shut it down but the could sanction any company that violates the ban that's about it for enforcement. But a VPN to another country would bypass it but it would not be US version of tiktok.

The apps would be delisted from all App stores and then tiktok said the would have to shut down the US Servers.

That sucks my bank app doesn't seem to rely on it for anything other than notifications and I can live without those.

Because I am trapped here and have to use current tech and you know I dont do off the grid! 🖖

I have a work gmail as well with works apps with Google Play but it's in a work profile so separate from. Main so I understand that.

Thank you will look into $5 isn't alot so will probably switch to it.

Is this available any where else other than Google Play? I don't have any play services or play store on my phone and rightfully won't ever again.

You have to disable Play Protect it now blocks unknown apks on android 15 and higher most users will give up only tech inclined users will most likely pursue that cource.

I use McDonalds App all the time on GOS this only affect you if you use Google Pay when checking out to my knowledge.
