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.

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! 🖖

No my bank app doesn't even use Google Play in anyway depends on the bank.

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.

 

Hello I use GOS have for almost a year and finally removed sandboxed play services in my main profile and only use Aurora for my bank app and Apple Music in my main profile still have Google Voice in private space but seperated from my main profile all my apps are only FOSS other than the 2 apps from aurora and it feels so good to finally say that. I just wanted to share my big news with you and hope you can all ditch Google apps/services as I have its amazing how my spam calls/texts have stopped or become less the more I degoogled.

I hope everyone has a great Degoogle/privacy enchancing experience

Any better replacements for Google Voice welcome in the comments if there is any.

As the title says I have launched a public matrix server called GateRealm named after StarGate the show. Right now we are fully operational but since this is my first public server I am taking it slow. Are goal is to be a listed public instance for now we are unlisted everything works email verification is required as is captcha.

Things are still rapidly changing and may notice inconsistent uptime I mean a restart maybe a couple times a day just changing a few things here and there. You are welcome to try it and give feedback thank you. All restarts will occur only after 12:00AM CST.
