A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The PayPal app definitely works with microG. I can't confirm whether it works with a completely deGoogled version of Android, but it has been reported as working by multiple users through Techlore's Plexus project.
EDIT: Just checked PayPal on a completely deGoogled device and it works.
Thanks for the heads up🙏🙏
I’m really interested in android, but all the google services are kind of a turn off. I only really use YouTube, but not even the official way.
What kind of phone do you have? If you are interested in privacy and haven't used one of these alternative Android-based operating systems a try yet, I definitely recommend it if you have a compatible device. You lose very little in terms of app support and functionality while making significant gains in privacy, speed and battery life.
Well, I have an old Oppo f7 that I’ve been using as a secondary phone. But my main phone is an iPhone.
Sadly there are not alternative operating systems for either phone.
