Thank you already seen this and like I said if it's a system app it's a no go for me any app to do with Google needs to be sandboxed being a privileged app is why I won't use it.

I use this on my pixel with Graphene OS and it works great once I completely degoogoled my entire phone my spam calls and text pretty much all went away.

As long as micro G is a system app in my opinion it is the same why not run it as a sandboxed app. There is probably a reason why it can't just think it would be more privacy first approach to sandbox it but that is just my opinion everyone's threat model is different I don't use Google at all anymore so non issue for me. Still better than stock Google Play true just think micro G could do more.

Hi how are you? 🤣🖖

Been using Linux for 15 years now since I turned 11 haven't touched Windows and it was the best decision I ever made. I remember in 2009 I got world of Warcraft running under wine and that was hard. But the bottom cast bar was invisible and just had to remember your key bindings but it worked. (It was Ubuntu 9.10)

Yes but it's just as bad Micro G is still installed as a root app in the system and still uses proprietary Google code required for MicroG to work so micro G may limit the data the get but the are still getting it. I use proton mail on GOS with no sandboxed Google Play and just notifications are broke and that's fine by me.

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! 🖖
