@Tutanota @fsfe I only noticed recently on a phone at work. Having all my personal devices on #LineageOS since day 0 I didn't even know these things came preinstalled. I can't imagine why someone would keep stock Android on their phone, some people are weird

Hey Google: don't be evil! 😈 We will keep protecting #softwarefreedom and #deviceneutrality for all users!

@Tutanota @fsfe This is part of why I love @GrapheneOS ! No Google!

@Tutanota @fsfe Uh we should've guessed when Google marketed don't be evil... What they meant & missing from it was "Don't be evil, become the evil". Regardless it was funny how many "smart" people (calling their own company's slogans silly & unworkable) just believed a corporate slogan from another cus they were the new "cool" kid in town.

@Tutanota @fsfe So if I understand correctly, Google was forced to do it too? I remember when Apple had to do it, and I thought back then that it's a much bigger issue in the Android ecosystem. Anyway, good decision!

@Tutanota @fsfe My guess is in a decade or two, most ppl won't even remember these tech giants we have today.
Their lifespan is not designed to last a human life. Their goals are set to gain as much profit in short time and always in the range of bordering on the lawless and unethical - like they are doing now.
Enterprises like that won't become dynasties that last generations.

@Tutanota @fsfe "Don't be evil. Be insidious."
The end of their slogan always gets cut off.

@Tutanota @fsfe you can disable Google services with Canta debloater It literally uninstall everything

@Tutanota @fsfe I would love to uninstall all gogle services off my phone. Even youtube because I dont use it. I really hope the EU puts enough pressure on this matter.

@Tutanota @fsfe don't disable Google apps. Just replace all of them with Foss apps 😊.
