  One degoogled as a daily, one cheap stock for these privacy invading apps. Phone A goes with you, while Phone B stays home and comes out to play only when required. At least, that’s my take.

    That’s probably the simplest solution. Even though it’s not intellectually satisfying, I don’t think there’s another option at the moment.

  If you are technical you could run an android VM at home and then just remote into it when needed

    do android VMs pass play integrity? I thought the whole point was to deter bots…

      Idk. I thought the whole point was to keep people in the Google ecosystem.

        it’s both. a happy coincidence that enforcing security also lets them lock customers in. it’s a common plan that governments share: “we need to collect your data for security”
