From a privacy-focused perspective, #MicroG clearly has the advantage. While Google #PlayServices even when sandboxed, are still designed to collect certain telemetry and diagnostics, MicroG deliberately avoids collecting or transmitting such data.

MicroG is intentionally designed to replicate only the essential APIs required for app compatibility. It excludes the broader telemetry and analytics components that are deeply embedded in the official Google Play Services.

If you have a spare phone, you might want to try out a #MicroG-based OS like #CalyxOS. I can't guarantee that it'd work better, but it's a nice middle ground between no google services and "sandboxed" google services, because it's a FOSS re-implementation of the google services.

The other option would maybe be putting sandboxed google play and just the troublesome apps in a work profile, so you can turn that all off and on as you need it and contain the badness?

There once was a website where you could see if a smartphone app would run with MicroG or in general without play services.

If I ever am lucky enough to switch to a Fairphone with different OS fork, it would be nice if I could check beforehand if my banking TAN app would work on it.

But I can't seem to find the site anymore. 🤔

Erledigt:

Man muss sich nicht nur in der App Lounge anmelden. Eine Anmeldung in der #microG App ist ebenfalls notwendig.

Wenn man's weiß...🙄

Das #murena OS ist soweit ganz prickelnd und ich schätze daran, wieder größere Hoheit über meine Daten zu haben, aber die Doku könnte ein bissken dicker sein.

Jetzt muss ich nur noch herausfinden, warum unified push bei #Moshidon und #FediLab nicht funktioniert.

Hei #Allheimen. Som me alle veit, er #tekno-nerdar overrepresenterte her. Har nokon av dykk eit godt svar på korleis ein sølle amatør skal kunna bruke til dømes Vips (ja, eg nektar å skrive det med to p-ar) på ein avgoogla telefon? DNB gjer det i alle fall såpass vanskeleg at eg ikkje får det til, så eg reknar eigentleg med at svaret er «gløym det og gå tilbake til google, din teknonisse». #microg #lineageos

#Neostumbler collects the data in the first place. While databases like #MLS (Backups), #OpenCellID and also Apples exist and are easily available, #BeaconDB only uses newly gathered data.

Neostumbler takes the real GPS location together with nearby Wifis, Cell Towers and Bluetooth beacons. These datasets get uploaded, and shortly after, clients like #geoclue or #microG that use BeaconDB, can find a location there.

Neostumbler shows an overlay map for existing data

@fanta Eu non teño Fairphone. Merquei un motorola de segunda man por 40€. Fixate si estaba como novo que inda tiña o plastiquito orixinal da pantalla (aparte de caixa e cargador orixinal). Soamente tivem que cambiar o sistema operativo a #LineageOS con #MicroG (e dicir, sin ningunha das apps de google) para ter un movil actuliazado e con bateria para dous dias mirando series. #consumoResponsable

Honestly, I don't really get the point of NFC-enabled FIDO2 tokens / hardware #Passkeys: Obviously, their NFC support is meant for phones, but to actually use the key, your phone's operating system must support #FIDO2 in the first place.

Instead of connecting your #NFC token, you could just as well use your phone's internal FIDO2 storage (usually biometrically secured). NFC is not even useful for ungoogled devices, as #MicroG also has internal FIDO2 support (which I use all the time).
