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.

Who the fuck is still using google? (Except my wife, who is tech illiterate)

Unfortunately the majority of the society, who are tech illiterate just like your wife.

A lot of people are forced to use it. e.g. Android users.

Android users can use firefox with ecosia or something similarly suitable do they not?

Google Play Services would like a word.

Even going full Graphene, Lineage, or w.e, you can still be forced to use Google services for thinks like mobile banking

@Thedogdrinkscoffee @Zoot depends on the banking app and your specific needs. MicroG is working fine for me with several different banking apps.
