If your work requires you to use specific software, make them purchase you a device to run that software on and leave it at work.

Edit: nvm, i see that was brought up already

I’m sorry, but in that case, it wasn’t worth running the app to begin with. You can either find a third-party app that lets you access the same content, such as Newpipe and YouTube, or you can use it from a web browser, such as your bank, and if you can’t do either of those, then just don’t fucking use that service.

I was willing to totally switch banks because my previous bank required me to use a mobile app and I did not want to do so. If I must go through some annoyance to use something that works properly, I will.

For me at least, running as much open source as I can possibly do is worth more than the inconvenience caused by not being able to use these shit services.

From what I can tell, all of this shit is on Google versions of Android. If you are on AOSP such as lineage or graphene, from what I understand this has no effect whatsoever.

If you think that app is not collecting your data, you are totally naive.

The one good thing about banks is they make these little plastic rectangles with metal chips in them that you can insert into a device at the terminal in order to pay for your stuff. No bank app required.

At least in the United States, these little plastic rectangles have a series of 16 numbers on them, followed by a date and a year and a three digit code.

I actually take it even one step farther than that. I don’t want a bank app on my phone because it’s proprietary and I don’t know what it’s doing. So I only access my bank through the web browser.
