60 million apps keep getting pushed on us, and everyone wants their own… Every restaurant, gorcery store, etc.

Would it not be feasible to install all of those Kroger, Gas Stations, bloat, bloat, bloat apps on an app Server that we just have a remote access to them like a thin client from our phone in a singular app of shortcuts (look like a folder, directory) So all the apps stay installed and don’t use resources on the phone. Which keeps storage requirements down on the local device and means when you go into another device you can just log in and have access to all the apps already signed in and how you left them.

Does anyone know if there is already such a setup?

It wouldn’t work well with things like streaming services, but it could still cover a lot of day to day apps I don’t really want to have to have on my device.

    Yeah, the location data wouldn’t function right as you said. They wouldn’t know you were at the store on 5th Street if the app is running on a machine at home I suppose. Could always manually search it.

    Not your fault we are in that situation. Hope your life comes into many a cheap watermelon.

      Part of the reason for all this bullshit is people will just do it instead of going to a different place that doesn’t require bullshit but maybe costs a little more. 🤷‍♂️

      This seems like your bed? If you’re not willing to go to a place that doesn’t do this to you, I guess you just gotta lie in it.
