I thought graphene os has sandbox for google play services? Couldn’t you use that with a qr code scanner and whatever else you need to bypass their attempts at locking down the ecosystem entirely, at least on GOS?

This. There have been some times where I wanted to say something, but was afraid or going against the hive mind. I get that it’s easy (just type and post), but I didn’t want to be hounded over it.
