  1. no. Microg is baked in to try and get around the portions of google bullshit thats baked in.
  2. yes, I have play services running because I cannot not have android auto.

Not in /e/os far as i can see. Maybe in aosp somehow? Frankly, I am not exactly a fan of many of the decisions Murena made. They're motherfuckers about letting me do the things I actually want in the system, for example: just update my apps, dont notify me. I do not care unless you broke or can't update. But no, I have to dismiss every successful app update.

Separate. Not entirely sure how it works but another user in thread brought it up, sec...

Skarn: Actually, no. e/OS includes MicroG, so even most app requiring Google services work just fine. What really doesnt't work is Casting videos to a Chromecast, and anything requiting Play Integrity certification like Revolut.

Thought he provided more info, but yeah. Chromecast just does not function cause its basically in google walled garden.

By in large there is no difference to notice, riiiiight up till you get to invisible google integrations. A lot of people wont notice stuff like this, but android auto relys on google servers and big G managed to break microG for a couple days and we cannot cast to our Chromecast (ever :( )

It does but its not perfect. I love my phone, but its absolutely not for people who dont want to tinker with shit that breaks unexpectedly.

I am fully aware of what the fairphone I'm on is able to do. Thank you for assuming I dont have experience with what I'm talking about.

The biggest one was when play Services updated back kn December and broke maps for me, specifically on android auto.

Pretty sure its just you and only right now.

Kidding. I honestly dont have the experience to answer fully but that very specific scenario made me giggle.

That said, the decline and end enshitification of everything is coupled with the relazation from advertizers that o ly ads are sketchy AF,and the people selling ad space are not to be trusted, leading to folks with lesser means boosting topics that would have previously been ostracized from whichever corporate social media company. Pissing people off has long been the most effective means of driving engagement, and lower quality advertisers care less about public perception.

Ladytron is a feel. Good stuff for that vibe.

She Wants Revenge is another adjacent band from the same timeframe.

This is an america vs Americans definition issue. Americans litigate when its useful or required usually. America litigates every chance it gets. The mish derstanding is easy as america is full of Americans, but really america is a collection of wealth holding entities known as corporations that give zero shits about Americans except for when it comes to extracting wealth.

Of course there are a lot of Americans that participate in this cause those corporations pay to put food on the table. You too will dance when your corporate overlords snap.
