@Tutanota@mastodon.social Google seems to be shooting itself in the foot with a canon by doing this. I can see a lot of people at least considering the move to iPhones if not before Android makes the change, or shortly there after.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social #Jolla #sailfishos Seems such a shame that Google is locking down Android even more. However, life goes on and I am looking forward to delivery of my Jolla 2026 phone running Sailfish OS (which is full Linux and not just a de-googled Android). Bye bye Google.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social F-Droid (advised by @techlore@social.lol) is still available on my Android. What F-Droid needs is more developers involved. The index is still quite empty.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social You can still buy a Chinese Android phone variant, they only have Communist China’s spyware at the system level required by the Chinese government. Your choice.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Is it possible use software virtualization to run apps inside another app, and get that app verified? This will not only allow for an isolated environment for other apps, but may also be needed for running older apps on 64bit-only devices, so would function as a backward compatibility system also. If Google thinks this nonsense will stop scam apps from mimicking banking apps, then they'll be shocked when they discover what a PWA is. Idiots. It can also be bypassed using ADB, LOL!

@Tutanota@mastodon.social I already use a flip phone. The previous mobile device is just a glorified tablet now. It's been gutted as far as I can gut it and is basically a glorified pocket computer. I'll use my flip phone as a hotspot when it's a requirement. Let Google shrink into oblivion.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social What #Google plans is unacceptable. Keep pushing back. ⭐ But: although they plan to add additional speed bumps, current plans will NOT prevent side loading outright. (And given the political climate they don't dare invite additional regulatory scrutiny by barring side loading. They are evil ... but not completely clueless.) Definitely push push push back -- but also, please research the planned changes -- confirm side loading is not going away. ❌ Do not take our word for it. 📚 Research this for yourselves. #CriticalThinking #BigTech #oligopoly #FOSS #law

@Tutanota@mastodon.social this will probably get some DMA gatekeeper or antitust from the OEM pov type of treatment hopefully it will result in some concrete action being taken. Most OEM chose android back in the day because it was open and they didn't have to respond to anyone
