If I tried to install any app I wrote on Android devices, Google would kick me out of their ecosystem permanently.
100% false. You can install whatever the fuck you want. Just check "install from all sources" or whatever and blammo! You can install things from their .apk files. Doesn't need to be part of any jewgle ecosystem at all.
For the time being, the app requires you to activate it and also turn your bluetooth radio on.
So... you trust jewgle to not surreptitiously pull data from wherever it wants at all times? You're a fool.
Do I trust Google? Only to spy on me. I trust hey do that. I trust they have back doors for the Alphabet agencies to exploit. I trust Google to sell my location data, my browsing data and to lie to me. Yes, I trust Google for that.
Okay... Android is open source. jewgle can be removed from android completely. There are a number of custom roms with ZERO google ANYTHING on them.
hurrrr but android IS google
Not really.
ee; Well. "android" is, but the OS isn't, it's FOSS. It's base is linux.
