A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You can still verify the install even if it went through the play store no? Or are apps on the playstore not signed by the developer?
You're still putting a measure of trust into Google with that, rather than just trusting F-Droid.
You're still putting complete trust into Google by using any android that isn't thoroughly de-googled, built from scratch, and installed on a jailbroken phone. They're integrated on the OS level they can do whatever they want.
Lol I do run Android without Google Play Services.
