Reminder that if they can forcibly delete the app from your phone, you don't own your phone

I run LineageOS on my phone (with gapps) and my tablet (sans gapps). If Google tries deleting stuff it doesn't own on my phone it's LineageOS sans gapps for my phone and probably buying a phone for GrapheneOS.

I think these were the ones I installed https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps/ My Poco X3 Pro has been having annoying ghost touch issues for a while, perhaps the time has come to look into an alternative.

Can't you just not use Google apps?

[–] eleitl@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Possibly, eventually. Right now I'm using some useful proprietary things from the Play Store, as well as GMail, shared calendar and Maps.

I'm getting too old to self host All The Things, but if Google insists to be a dick I'll let most of it go and self host the rest.
