Nothing, if you want. You can disable network permissions on play services. Google DDG first to make sure that won’t break the game. Depends on what the game uses play services for… if it’s some local functionality it will be fine, if it’s remote functionality then it will break.
Ironically, GrapheneOS is pretty much that (minus the hardware) unless you want to get an iPhone or Windows phone. You’ll have to have Play Services to play the games you want to play; may as well use the only sandboxed version afaik. The reason the Pixel line was chosen is because it’s essentially what iPhone is for Apple… There will be no vendor add-ons or modifications, just stock android which can be modified into things like GrapheneOS. But it’s more for security and privacy than it sounds like you need. Just keep in mind whatever you choose, cracked apps have a much higher chance of containing malware unless you learn to crack them yourself, but then you’d have no time to game.

Since the Play services apps are simply regular apps on GrapheneOS, you install them within a specific user or work profile and they’re only available within that profile. Only apps within the same profile can use it and they need to explicitly choose to use it. It works the same way as any other app and has no special capabilities. As with any other app, it can’t access data of other apps and requires explicit user consent to gain access to profile data or the standard permissions. Apps within the same profile can communicate with mutual consent and it’s no different for sandboxed Play services.
ETA: It looks like there is a modified open source Play Services client called MicroG, which is basically a rewrite of Play Services that allows things to work, but things requiring payments or payments via NFC etc may not work.
I think you just want to play games without play services, not actually learn apk reverse engineering (which is a very complex skill), so MicroG is probably what you want. https://microg.org/
GeapheneOS (Pixel only) has sandboxed play services by default, with controls over location data, etc. Not sure if that’s what you’re after but I thought I’d mention it.
You’ll need port forwarding for private torrent sites so people can download from you better.
I’d almost put money on it being AV. But I’d also think the installer wouldn’t just crash on locked file. That was my first thought too though since I don’t believe the qbt executable is signed.
Stealths.net. Pay with BTC or XMR.
That’s my fault, I messed up and said ebook a few times while meaning audiobooks.
See my other comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/7069535
You’re making disingenuous assumptions when you say I listened to other audiobooks. I have only listened to this series. purchased 3, and listened to 2 of the free (premium) books. I did not listen to any other books. There were a couple times it skipped a chapter with an accidental scroll, and I had to scroll back, but I didn’t actually listen so it shouldn’t count.
I wasn’t aware of the 15 hour limit but of course I am now as it’s been pointed out many times in this thread. I didn’t even know they had audiobooks until they started showing up on the opening screen of Spotify. I got hooked listening to the Steven Fry narrated OG book and then went to buy the next 3 and the last book in the series was also included in premium so I listened without buying. Still, 13 hours (which makes up for any skipping) is not 15 hours, so there’s either a bug or they intentionally count unlistened to skipped chapters as being listened to.
I’m getting Libby setup today with my library card.
Let’s be gracious and round up. That’s 13 hours. Not 15.
You can only do so many chargebacks before you’re banned from using that payment network, which considering it’s Spotify they likely use one of the largest payment networks. I save chargebacks for when I got royally fscked, not just irritated inconvenience.
I don’t have time to sit down and read books. I have the disease of modernity. Will you read to me when I call?
I already use ReadEra for all my documents needs. Does it save progress well with audiobooks?
Does it let you have a folder of books and keep your place when you pause the book or exit the app? Many don’t seem to keep the progress very well.
High gymnast? It’s ok my ex-wife is a tard and she’s a pilot now.

If you prevent search engines from crawling your site via robots.txt and use cloudflare free and a DMCA-ignored host (just search it) you’ll be fine. Don’t use a .com domain, use .ph .md .is .today, stick with the domains archive.today uses and you’ll be good. If you ever get kicked off of cloudflare, just point your DNS back towards your host.
Probably to generate discussion about what the “and more” could be, just like it’s doing. Proper ad camp, Bic.
You can get assault and battery charges on a corpse? Why wouldn’t they just go after murder 1 in that case?
I’d call it a property crime, but my brain hasn’t been fully cooked quite yet.
Mullvad or IVPN. Some VPNs like Perfect Privacy do leak your IP via DHT and other torrent features, even when full lockdown mode is on. You can search ‘torrent leak test’ to verify yours doesn’t. I found out with a 2nd DMCA warning from my ISP.
