  • Thing is, not that many apps use Google Play Services. In fact, afaik F-droid explicitly forbids the use of gsm. I’d understand blocking sideloading of the apps that do use it, but if they are going block every single one, that seems a bit draconian and spiteful. Like I understand why they would be displeased with the harsh treatment they received from the US, but I don’t think revenge is a good reason to hamper the user experience.

    Fair enough. I sure hope that “business” feature stays business-only or opti-in.

    In a way I get it since from my experience the C-suites really like not writing their emails themselves so this is their way of trying not to lose existing corporate customers, however I do see how their lack of transparency is concerning.

    Hmm… Is that a problem with their more recent endeavors? I myself have only used their email and pasword manager services and I find their feature sets to be sufficient.

    Also, marketing containig the letters “A” and “I” does not invalidate the product. While I absolutely despise seeing AI plastered everywhere, it is true that ML algorithms are often incredibly useful (even if LLMs aren’t)

    You know, people are mad at this for some reason, but while I don’t see myself using this ever, I’m really glad a more privacy conscious alternative to the google ecosystem is growing.(Even if this product of theirs doesn’t compete with them, many others do)
