    Not the person you responded to, but my Android 11 tablet is not signed into Google (yes, the device I’m commenting from right now on Lemmy).

    I disabled Google Play Services and almost all the built in Google apps. I had to do that because Google Play Services is exactly how Google backdoored the whole OS to install kill switches wherever the hell they want, and they’re already starting to try to do that age check shit on me to even so much as watch The Outer Limits on YT or alternatives.

    I’ve had to revert some of my apps to older versions because newer versions are literally telling me that they either no longer work at all, or won’t work in the near future.

    My red flag warning came from an update of the simple FOSS Bubble Level app from F-Droid. Like seriously, Google gonna try to block a simple FOSS Bubble Level app because I’m not logged into Google?

    Fuck that, I prefer to sideload my apps, so I’ll take the hit of disabling Google Services to keep the full lockdown from happening.
