  • Hacker News
  • Is it too late to rename to "MindTheGapp"?
  • I dont get why some apps depend on Google Play functionality. Why can't I download Telegram on /e/OS
  • I use it on LineageOS, works a charm
  • It's too bad you have to rely on signature spoofing to be able to use this as an alternative (but obviously I understand why). The spoofing looks narrowly scoped on LineageOS, but in general I imagine it creates some risk.
  • Why do the most recent commits all say "Merge commit from fork" without any description of what the changes do or what the fork is?
  • I guess this is submitted because of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50154624 ?
  • MicroG is possible to run on GrapheneOS but isn't recommended since GOS has a sandboxing solution for running Google Play apps:

    https://grapheneos.org/features#sandboxed-google-play

  • I have never understood why people using MicroG can use apps like SNCF-Connect, while I cannot.

    SNCF-connect is the largest online marchant in France. Since june, I cannot click the "pay" button anymore. It coincides with the new feature of Pay with Google.

    So : is it because MicroG allows calls to Google services on e/OS devices, while my LineageOS refuses ? Or because MicroG implemented a try catch around this call, without any call to Google's servers ?
