Google is marching ahead in locking down Android, via its developer registration mandate.
I am hopeful that we will find a way - through regulatory intervention or otherwise - to preserve software freedom on Android, including for apps available via @fdroidorg , but I am not overly optimistic.
(Sure, it doesn't affect non-Google Android, but that is irrelevant to many, many Android users.)

#Google's new requirement: starting September 2026, every #Android app developer must register centrally with Google before their software can be installed on any device. Not just Play Store apps: all apps. This includes apps shared between friends, distributed through @fdroidorg from to hobbyists for personal use. Independent developers, church and community groups, and hobbyists alike will all be frozen out of being able to develop and distribute their own software.

Need a Nova Launcher replacement. Android making Google search bar not removable is unacceptable. Setting up replacement phone. Nova enshittified what I've been using for years now.

Howdy folks, as some of y'all are aware, I carry an Android phone - specifically a Oneplus 11 on Lineage.
This whole 'Android dev lockdown / verification' situation irks me. I don't like the play store, I see it as a den of malware and villainy, only meant to peddle corporate spyware, invasive Ai agents, tracking systems and ads into our lives.
So I am faced with a dilemma, but as a millennial, I remember Y2K. The world didn't end just because it suddenly went from 1999 to 2000, and so the world won't end just because September is coming, then August, and so forth.
There will be holdouts, there will be devs who 'dgaf', who continue putting out apks for 'unverified' Android. Hell, you'll likely have two years of boredom and tossing it about in your mind before you actually have to do anything about it to function in society.
So, where do I sit? I'm in the holdout camp in the short term. I have a plan for the bigger picture that will basically treat a post-2026 cellphone like a piece of radioactive material that's only purpose is to beam a tetherable wifi connection, and only be used for calls and ordering pizza whenever it's rarely let out of its Faraday bag or vaccum-sealed lead box.
Thanks to Google, Apple and Microslop, We live in a caustic world that hates and despises us, but that's all well and good.
So do they.

🌐 Many companies now block older browser versions from accessing their websites!
This follows many #browser makers ending updates 4 older operating systems, leaving legacy devices unable to use #web services without an #OS upgrade.
This kinda reminds me of the Java #website block by browsers a few years ago, just in reverse. (Revenge? ;)
Old #Android versions are also increasingly blocked from accessing the #Google #appstore.
Truly about security or perhaps Planned Obsolescence?

🚨 Say that I were to give a talk to EU policy makers and OSS communities at a very big conference tomorrow...
...and that I want to spend half of my talk on how Google is locking down #Android through:
1. Device attestation
2. Developer registration
3. Age verification
What should I absolutely include? 👀
Input is welcome, sorry for the short notice. Plain language and realistic calls to action pls.

Are Android apps fairly painless to install and use on PostmarketOS and mobile linux?
I am thinking of taking the plunge, but there are still a number of Android apps I depend on.

Posting this to #mastodon because this is the kind of thing most of us here seem to care about by virtue of being here:
Google's Android Developer Verification program requires government ID, signing key evidence, and a fee for any developer who wants their software installable on Android. The EFF calls app gatekeeping "a pathway to censorship." over 67 organizations have signed an open letter opposing it. @keepandroidopen #KeepAndroidOpen https://keepandroidopen.org

RE: https://mastodon.social/@pojntfx/116656788335334406
holders of #TMobile #Samsung #LG #android phones in #USA and #Canada need to pay attention. Samsung’s Knox is a #backdoor using remote attestation.
Samsung first sold Knox as work #spyware for businesses and governments. their largest USGOV contracts were DoD.
then Trump happened.
Knox is now used to remote control all Samsung/LG devices in USA/CA but neither Samsung nor TMobile will tell you who is the administrator (aka users 0 & 1)
if you arent user 0 & 1 you don't own your phone.
duh.
“Meta and Google get data from the app your boss uses to track you https://www.theverge.com/policy/935299/bossware-employer-surveillance
if the app is from the Google app store, Google uses it to track you.
if the app has a Google or Facebook login, Meta & Google use it to track you.
if the app is on an #android #TMobile phone purchased in USA or Canada, Meta, Google and Amazon use it to track you.
that’s why Google wants to kill #sideloading. they want to monopolize #stalkerware
Analysis of Google I/O: Overdue honesty
Google's message is crystal clear, between the lines: the next decade of AI must answer the question of payment, comments Malte Kirchner in Mountain View.
