LaLiga says it's talking to Google about "locating" and "eliminating" piracy apps already downloaded to a million phones.

Play Services. Replace with Aurora.

I just wish theu finalky fixed it, the rate limiting is really damn annoying by now! I started to sideload apps from apkpure and update them with Aurora to keep my anonymous user account but it can’t take long till that’s gone too I guess! :(

Honestly, almost every third party store is better, if you can get rid of play services for it.

The problem is that a lot of apps break without Play Services.

All 10 proprietary apps i use don’t, including Post, transportation, banking and Twint. Only thing that doesn’t work is some ads in the 2 games i have. I don’t know, maybe swiss companies are late in the enshitification game?

Well, Aurora is the only one and it’s jalf broken and has a history of lacking development so the situation isn’t great but I don’t plan to ever get Play Services again ether

The only open source one, yes. But since the Apps in the store are proprietary too, i just have both (in my case Aptoide) in Shelter with Tracker Control.

I trust Aptoide less than Google so I stick with the apkpure website as backup but thqt’s a lot less convinient for sure!
