    Wild — it’s still on the iOS App Store. The game is free and it has an IAP of $9.99 that unlocks bonus content. It said straight up that it’s not for children or for those who are easily disturbed. Just installed it. I’m wondering how they handle the end. I’ve seen it played to completion on PC.

        I installed Termux for reasons I’ve forgotten, and was surprised to discover the base is a distro called Alpine. Learned more about this seldom talked-about fourth Linux distro. I tell you, if nothing else it’s nice to be able to install apks I’m familiar with on PC, and SSH into my server directly from the phone

      In my journey to remove myself from as many unethical companies as possible I was hit with one of several hard lessons, that even if I remove my dependency on corps like Google, I may not want to sacrifice services who themselves depend on it. For example, I use Home Assistant. I value several (external) community made integrations and therefore use HACS. Well, HACS is a frontend for all these extras, which are exclusively hosted on Github. So I ‘can’t’ delete my Git account, rather keep it around for API access.

      I have some other services like Shopify, who I don’t really trust but who are frequently the only adopted sale point for many merchants, who themselves are ethically sound or, subjectively, the ‘best’ source. Who better to host a throwaway email account for services I reluctantly connect with than Google, aha.

      What I’m saying is, I’m finding total deGoogling a challenge, and I wish you the best of luck. At least there’s alternatives to the Play Store; Aurora, F-droid, and ApkMirror||ApkPure

        fun part is, I just don’t care. if I can’t use a banking app… what ever. I’ll use the website or good into the bank. I’ll take time off work. I refuse to comply.

          Mad props. I can do that to a degree, but there are some things I’m not willing to sacrifice yet. 100% upholding your principles – respect

      I would but apparently I’m not allowed to do that until I pay the phone off completely.
