I mean you should expect this from any play store version of a app.

Odd I used it to install GTA: SA definitive edition purchased on the play store website then installed and updated via Aurora still works just updated it recently too.

Honestly it’s just a cool perk for me I use proton and use all thier services the only one I don’t use is thier wallet but never had a issue. Works for my uses would love contact sync but I gave up on that and just self host EteSync on my Pi5.

Because the guest option uses a Google Services API so the are getting your Google Account info to make the connection the Foss versions rightfully strip play services integration like most if not all foss apps.

I agree left reddit never looked back literally asked a question in a sub and was banned like what it was about the exact product the sub was for.

This is why I have no play services on my device just open source only.

Is it the pro or the tube shield the tube is 32 bit only and most apps and games have moved to 64 bit only so the pro would be needed but I can still install paid apps on aurora on my phone just fine.

The song New Kings by Sleeping Wolf reminds me of Ukraine keep up the good fight and never give up - From US Citizen.

Just waiting for them to try this with a US Navy Ship gonna be a bad day for the Chinese 😂

If you get a pixel watch you can pair it and use that for Google Pay FYI and have Graphene OS on your phone.

It was a bonus my work did and I won it in a raffle.

I didn’t buy it I’ve used Linux for 15 years its actually running Asahi Linux

Hey in have a Mac and can confirm I am poor 🤣

I think it has more to do with Matrix is kinda becoming the standard for secure open source messaging server but I do agree with you I would just use what works for you personally.

The site is trash my DNS blocked all their garbage so that’s good.

This is what I do I self host pretty much most of my services.

So google play services on android along with Google store are installed in the root system the can basicly do whatever the want permission wise play services is always running in the background and is a huge battery drain by not having it installed at all you are gaining more battery life.

Its already been known Qualcomm x1 arm64 laptop chip will be able to run other operating systems its not a phone.

That is very true indeed but my battery lasts for 2 days though because of it so I’ll call that a win.
