      You’re on fediverse, you know what f-droid is and use it to install apps…

      Why are you even on the Play store in the first place? Even for the shit that my work makes me use I have a separate profile on my phone and use aurora store (and even that is a stopgap until I can get a separate work phone).

        I wanted to see my recommendations :{

        Not rooted, or flashing a custom ROM, so I can’t delete the play store.

        Also, my bank app wasn’t installing properly from Aurora. I don’t remember what the exact issue was, but it was too much of a hassle to figure out (or change banks)

        But that second profile idea is smart

        I should have done that

          I mean, I’m a hardliner on this sort of thing, no bank apps or mobile banking in general, GrapheneOS on the phone, apps via obtanium for the most part and aurora for the work shit, but, I suppose it’s not a zero sum game and there’s things even I’m not doing right.
