No like they literally break on their own. Ive had multiple “glass” protectors just crack in my pocket or just by pressing too hard on it with my finger. Never using such screen protectors again, back to plastic/film like protectors for me.
You’re correct but you can still use it without ever attaching an account to it, which is preferrable.
Don’t ditch your pixel, as you can replace the Stock Android on your phone with GrapheneOS instead. It’s still android but more secure. Google Auth is probably one of the easiest to ditch. For something like Authy or Authenticator Pro, although you won’t have to do that. Google’s authenticator is good enough really, even from the privacy side of things. Maps and YouTube though? Those are indeed tough to leave behind.
Noone. Why would you be rude to anyone and spend your energy on making their day miserable which by extension effects your mood too?
Morale: don’t be rude for the sake of being rude, that’s just… rude. And you ain’t no saint for gloating about it either.
