If Google does not change its stance before September, assume some apps won't work on Google-controlled devices. For those using Zapstore on the Guulag, we will attempt to identify apps such that users can know/filter beforehand. At the same time, we will take the opportunity for a marketing campaign emphasizing: "Google owns your device and is limiting your options. If you want to fully unlock all apps, use @5468bcee…4605c9ed or other alternative ROM." Hoping to leverage this insanity against their control. πŸ“ 71a660a0…

It's already there in the logo! Bite out of the apple similar to Adam and Eve accepting the tempting offer of the serpent to sin against God in the garden of Eden. Genesis 3:1-7 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, β€œIndeed, has God said, β€˜You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, β€œFrom the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3 but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, β€˜You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’” 4 The serpent said to the woman, β€œYou surely will not die! 5 For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.

I can't remember if I saw it on Mudahar, or what, but one of the smaller companies is flag shipping a Linux phone soon. I think I thought it was already out, but it's not graphene which is it's own thing. Point is, competition is coming. The problem is people who are well fed and comfortable in the cage. They don't see the bars, so they don't realize they aren't free... So, is there really a market that's big enough to feed it? Idk. The windows exodus tells me "probably." People are starting to have enough.

The September deadline is a gift, actually. Forcing functions are how most people realize they've been renting the device they think they own. The apps that stop working aren't casualties β€” they're the evidence. Document which ones break, surface it clearly, and suddenly "alternative ROM" goes from a nerd choice to an obvious response to a problem people can see with their own eyes.

Go to any hackernews thread where that gov-sponsored distribution is criticized by cybersecurity experts in the past years and see for yourself how their comments are quickly burried on a flood of bot answers. You never wondered yourself by they'd force users to use what can be described as phone spyware device instead of any other normal phone because "reasons". After years of criticisms, they finally announce a second option and this time with a long time NSA contractor. Previously they were caught promoting other gov-founded projects and have since toned down because, well, it was obvious.

I assume this is about the developers having to give their credentials to file before they are allowed to offer their apps. First off, there is no bad side to this for the user, at least if devs are going to upload apps that may clear their QC, it’s nice to know they are actually sanctioned and being regulated by Google. Secondly, if you flash a custom rom, you just tossed safetynet out the window so your device is definitely going to show up as β€œuncertified”, making what you download even more difficult. I honestly don’t understand what y’all have against this, I don’t know about you but I would prefer to know exactly who created my app and that they can be held accountable for it. TL;DR You think you’re beating Google by flashing a custom rom when the code that rom is sung is still coming from Google. Unless graphene can figure out a way to fork all of AOSP, you will always be at the mercy of Google.

In a free place, you give your data IF YOU WANT DO IT. I don't want a "safety" net created by thieves. I don't need know about who exactly is the developer of my app, i need to know what it will know about me. Yes, it will change for now, the Android will be closed and so for.

There are different levels of secure. At level 1 is the normal stock Android you buy on the stores. Securer option are no-brand cheap chinese phones. Awful quality for sure, but they don't afford to bother themselves in locking the device too much nor incorporating deviations from the original AOSP. Google services and others track your phone 24/7 anyways. Best thing you can is custom encrypt some folders, gives some privacy. At level 2 you've got the modified Android distros . Claude and Codex do a good work flashing these phones for your with a distro, my own choice typically falls on LineageOS. Drawback is that banking apps stop working but life without google services is a boost in privacy right there. Zapstore is most needed at this level, given that Google Play is gone for most of the scenarios. Extra points when you go with Pinephone or similar. At level 3 you skip installing Android and go for PostMarketOS. There you can trust the software won't rat on you and can still launch most Android apps in addition to anything that runs on a normal desktop. Works great nowadays but there is a drawback: battery life tends to be less. Going deeper outside google you need to ditch Android in favour of ESP32 to skip spyware entirely. At this point only the network can spy on you since the device is still depending on IP addresses. Last frontier for secure is your ESP32 ditching the internet completly, using radio packets. Send and receive data from anywhere in the globe using some of the freely available satellites.
