Unfettered capitalism is just fucking exhausting. What a bunch of assholes. I really need to degoogle my life. Idk how to strip android off my phone and replace it with whatever, but I guess I’m about to find out.
Android without Google services is basically taking the capitalism away.
Install LineageOS or GrapheneOS without installing Google Play.
Slap on F-Droid for apps and you have a phone that doesn’t talk to Google at all, and is completely beyone their control.
You can just install it off f-droid instead of the play store.
Take a look at GrapheneOS.
I think I’m gonna do just that
The thing is that this isn’t even unfettered capitalism.
Unfettered capitalism would be so much worse, which is saying something.
The problem in this case is the Google Play Store, not Android.
Google is blocking Nextcloud from updating their app on the Play Store unless they remove this vital permission. But nothing is stopping Nextcloud from making their app available on third party app stores with the approriate permissions.
If you download the app from F-Droid instead, it should work correctly.
I hear ya. I’m feeling the need to cut ties with Google all together. They’re not getting any less evil. I’m gonna look into graphene os I think

It’s definitely exhausting.
The silver-lining is that we really don’t have to go along with it. We have the choice to use alternatives, we just choose not to.
