Google has ruined Android by closing it up.
EU needs to step in and force Google to open it up.
While at it, go for Apple's monopoly as well.

Gatekeeprs of wealth sticking together against the ambition for freedom of poorer people?
Oh, color me surprised. 🙄
(I want to de-Google step by step, thanks for the heads up).
I swear I am so close to jumping into the void of mainline linux on phones.
The only main issue is device drivers, but I would be fine happily extracting them from android or making new ones. Modern Android is a complete full stack POS.
Seems like my time to move away from Authy. Any drop in alternative for iOS? Ideally I could export services and load them back, not manually adding/removing 1 by 1. Even if I can't though, suggestion still welcomed.
Paid Bitwarden or self-hosted 2FAuth. Its very lean so you could probably do it on a free Oracle cloud VPS and never pay. Or put Vaultwarden on a PikaPod for very little money per month.
This is actually good, see it as an enrichment of your life. The only sad thing is Revolut though.
As an alternative to Authy I recommend Stratum (previously known as Authenticator Pro) https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.stratumauth.app
This due to its compatibility with Android wear (companion)
Can anyone who has used both Aegis and Stratum compare them?
This makes me want to use GrapheneOS more. If the dataminers don't want you to use it then it must be doing something right.
This is very bad news, because this means any app that wants your data could do the same.
On the other hand, it makes it easy to find which apps aren't to be trusted with your data.
Odd timing considering I've banned McDonalds, Revolut and Authy from my phone.
