graphene can have the play service, but in a sandbox. anything other than that uses microg so its emulated. probably needs some time to get up to speed. if not, just use the desktop site instead of mobile. i dont really see this as much of a threat to any of us.
Desktop site is going to require QR scan.
I don’t know what they are going to do about “I don’t have a phone” / “I only have a dumb phone” population.
I suspect that sometime soon I’ll have to buy a stay-at-home Google certified device, to bridge the locked down features and services.
They don’t give a shit about that part of the population, maybe they can even force some of that part of the population to finally cave in and get a smartphone.
Pretty sure their solution would be mandatory carrying of approved devices. It will be the only way to provide identification and payments, essentially all the stuff religious nuts say about the mark of the beast minus the weird parts like demons or the invisible counter mark and shit like that.
Most 2FA solutions on commercial websites (bank, online payment, electricity/water/gas providers) require a phone here instead of using open standard solutions or using physical tokens. They are doing everything they can to force us in to a Google/Apple lock in.

It is true that it’s impossible to buy things or identify yourself online right now, so I can see why they’re doing it.
