My broter wiped my moto g clean, open source android, #googleless.

Coz it lacks play store (and play services, the surveillance thingy behind most products), I had to find apks at http://www.apkmonk.com ... kinda creepy, coz without big corps acting as curators, we have... what?

for now 4 apps can't open coz depend deeply on google play services. I'm trying to find substitutes.

Turns out I can’t be #googleless until I find a good contact replacement.

Google only works with google play. And Mac contacts only work on Mac computers.

What’s the alternative?

@ajeremias yeah, my brother was all about nextcloud coz of adding, but then went back to FileRun, easier for files.

Maybe we should rethink.
