If they end up blocking f-droid I’m bombing them
How can that be legal?
Because Apple does it
Fuck.
So Android is pointless now?
No, really. If I’m gonna be dragged kicking and screaming into the walled garden, why would I go with Google’s joke of an ecosystem instead of much nicer and better integrated Apple garden?I might as well start carrying one of those weird branded ultra-tiny laptops from AliExpress and some used, older iPhone for the 2 apps I need.
Fuck it. Throw out the baby, the bathwater, the bathtub, the whole damn thing. Fuuuuck it.Time for a hard fork.
The android dream is over. It was fun while it lasted. My next phone will be linux
They can’t even handle the apps on their store…
I thought the EU said that Google and apple have to permit other app stores? If that is the case they’d have to allow side loading in effect.
I heard that they’re probably going to be using the Google Play store and probably similar modules to play protect to enforce this. So the question becomes will disabling the Google Play store bypass this? It outright kills play protect dialogue as well as its app disabling capability as a whole since play protect is part of Google Play store.
Can we have mainstream Linux phones now. Fairphone is nice
Use alternative ROMs while that’s still an option.
My phone is not an airport. It’s a garbage collection machine found in a trash, with a battery so it looks portable. I don’t need an ID to use it, nobody will ever need.
any good replacement phone OSes out there?
So say you want to move to one of these other OS’s graphene or whatever. Do those work with modern banking apps? Pretty much the only reason they haven’t done The switch so far is because Bank of America would tell me to fuck right off as far as I know
This a massive overreach and so stupid when nowadays apple even relaxed their limitations a little, I heard that iOS users don’t need to jailbreak anymore to use outside apps. What will be the point of android?
