I don't use apps from official software installation sources. I will boycott any site or service that asks me for unnecessary information.

    Until you can't because they will deploy this absolutely everywhere to "protect the children" from whatever real or imaginary threat.

    It will be banking that is used as the wedge for this. You'll have to use an approved device / OS / App to get access to the banking system. To protect the children.

    I use the bank web site, with a hardware TAN generator. If no bank offers that option you can use a dedicated device that is used just for that. My bank's app works on Graphene OS though.

    We can always self-host. We're using such a resource right now. Of course they can start blocking and persecuting, like they're doing in Russia right now. At which point you should start learning about fpv drones as a hobby, particularly the fiber-optic kind.
