Just got a reminder by #Obtainium concerning #Android #freedom.
The core of what it is about ist the following: "In August 2025, #Google announced [ -> https://developer.android.com/developer-verification ] that starting next year, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first #registering centrally with Google."
I think I need to remind about that too:

Google’s latest move could spell the end of what made Android truly open and free. As privacy-conscious developers fight back, the tech giant is pushing changes that may lock down your digital rights even more.
The Android community was built on the idea of choice — choice in apps, updates, and services. But now, that freedom is under threat.
