  • Yes, you can always install all apps from play store but if you want to minimize data sent to Google this should be the last resort.

    As said I would try and install the Aurora store and then install the app from there.

    And if that does not work setup a private space with Google services and play store.

    I’m running the pixel 10 but pixel version shouldn’t matter in most cases as far as I understand.


  • Hej hej,

    I’m in the same boat currently doing the same transition so perhaps someone with more experience should answer… But if you can stand an answer from one of those forbandede svenskere, here goes nothing.

    I’m guessing MittID is similar to Swedish BankID used for all kinds of authentication, like for banks and taxes n stuff.

    Currently BankID does not have a GitHub or similar release page so obtainium is out. I want to minimize the use of Google play as much as possible which leads me to install this via the Aurora store. So thats what I would try if I where you.

    If I want to install an app I try these methods In order:

    1. Graphene is native app store (basically nothing here)
    2. Accrescent (up and coming but not much here either)
    3. Obtanium (find the GitHub page and add it in this app. Risky if the developers GitHub account is compromised… Less oversight than the stores but who knows how thoroughly they look through the apps)
    4. Aurora store. (Mirror of Google without needing a Google account. Gets a bit of flack from security people but what are you supposed to do when this is the only non-google way the app is made available?)
    5. Aurora store in a private space… puke with Google services installed. (The apps that ended up here are those dependent on Google Maps integration, Bolt Uber and the likes. Would be keen to here if there is another way to do these apps without Google maps)

    Good luck on your journey!



  • “Sweden’s overall positive experience is not as a result of snus [packaged tobacco] or nicotine pouches,”

    Perhaps not… But it sure fucking helped out.

    / A Swedish smoker turned snuser, turned totally tobacco&nicotine free for 10 years+. (Not saying it was easy… even with snus)

    What if I relapse? Start smoking again(FML)? With my cigarettes next to your dinner experience? Or above your baby stroller at the bus stop? Fuck that.

    Reducing harmful and addictive substances in the Union is of great importance. Is snus akin to quit-smoking-patches? No. Is snus worse than cigarettes and should be banned before them? Absolutely fucking Not!



  • Sweden reactivated our conscription duty in 2017 and then, since the law should be gender neutral, women were then also required to muster and serve if they where deemed needed by the armed forces.

    For those looking in horror at Sweden for forcing young men and women into the military: In reality if you really don’t want to serve, then you will probably preform a lot worse than a person highly motivated to serve their country. Thus you will not be called upon by the armed forces to do conscription.

    However with the troubling times we are in the Swedish armed forces require a lot more people to uphold the deterrence and that results in the bar for who gets called upon gets lowered.
