    So, I guess this means that f-droid can only be installed via Google Play. /s

    I’m getting flashbacks to using Internet Explorer to install Firefox.

    edit: made sarcasm more obvious.

    Time to finally move to GrapheneOS. Hope they finish polishing it, including things like automated backups. I’m going to donate to them. They have consistently proved themselves to be a legitimate project.

    Partly because of this, I moved to graphene.

    Fuck google, simply. And I did like them 15-20 years ago. How far have they fallen…

    This is only fuel on the EU open source initiatives.

    But I’m pretty sure Google wont get away with locking down EU customers anyway, as this is clearly a breach of the DMA.

      They could clam a web app is the “alternative” I guess.

      They’ll shut that down too. Somehow. For “security” I’m sure, even as the Play Store is infested with scam apps.

        They mandate 3rd party app stores. I think we are passed that.

        Google is just power grapping what they can towards everyone else to make up for lost profit.
