    Harmony Os exists because of the US trade embargoes, they would put Google Play Services on their phone if they could. I don’t know if Lemmy is blocked in China (I guess it is), so if you could write that comment it means you are not even the target audience.

      Thing is, not that many apps use Google Play Services. In fact, afaik F-droid explicitly forbids the use of gsm. I’d understand blocking sideloading of the apps that do use it, but if they are going block every single one, that seems a bit draconian and spiteful. Like I understand why they would be displeased with the harsh treatment they received from the US, but I don’t think revenge is a good reason to hamper the user experience.
