      I’m sorry, but in that case, it wasn’t worth running the app to begin with. You can either find a third-party app that lets you access the same content, such as Newpipe and YouTube, or you can use it from a web browser, such as your bank, and if you can’t do either of those, then just don’t fucking use that service.

      I was willing to totally switch banks because my previous bank required me to use a mobile app and I did not want to do so. If I must go through some annoyance to use something that works properly, I will.

      For me at least, running as much open source as I can possibly do is worth more than the inconvenience caused by not being able to use these shit services.

          If your work requires you to use specific software, make them purchase you a device to run that software on and leave it at work.

          Edit: nvm, i see that was brought up already

        I agree. Not having access on my terms is absolutely a deal breaker for me and could cause me to stop doing business with a company.

      cool, any dev who requires that is acting in bad faith against my privacy and doesn’t deserve my support.
