Google is just a colorful façade. The insides of this bloated monstrosity is filled with ads and sellable user data. It needs to be put out of its misery.

Europeans will be able to take advantage of the DMA early next year. Google will have to allow us to install competing app stores without extra steps. No special security warnings or restrictions. I expect some solid competition soon.

Mine is worse: oftentimes it's just filled with ads for an online loan servicesand I feel like most of those are just scams. It's disgusting how they allow this.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/XPGgTy5YJ-g

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

This is the exact same thing I thought a couple of days ago. What the fuck is wrong with the product managers of the Playstore?

[–] LordShrek@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

i'm still just pissed that they renamed it to "play store"

Dont know if you'll like what you will see if you decide to try it again, as another users famous comment stated, "enshittification spares no one" is at full play in two dots also. Although the devs do pump up updates regularly and add more and more levels. Just be prepared for an experience different from how it was a few years ago, if you are returning after a long interval!
