I don't have that choice in Denmark due to NemID.

Like other people have suggested, maybe get a second phone (one of those really cheap ones with play Services) and use that for that stuff, and keep your main personal phone google-free.

This is the way for me too

At this point the solution seems to just be having a second phone for that kinda shit

I don't like that my neighbours are noisy, guess i should get a second house for when they're shouting

[–] bay400@thelemmy.club 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

ah yes because phones are $400,000-$1,000,000+

I'm comparing the impracticality, not the monetary impact

[–] bay400@thelemmy.club 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

ah yes because those things are completely unrelated

  • Carrying two massive slabs because a few apps won't run on one of them

  • Having a second home because some nights you can't sleep in one due to noisy neighbours

Where the more simple solution would be:

  • Have a phone that can run all of the apps you need so you don't need to buy and carry around a second phone
  • deal with your neighbours and sort stuff out rather than buy and travel to and from a second home.
