We've got until September to develope an answer to this. They don't typically backpeddle on these kinds of things, so it's likely to happen no matter what we do, so finding a solution that circumvents whatever it is they are doing is our best bet.

I use these tools, and have a *very* basic understaning of how they work, so these may be useless in this situation, but here are some tools that come to mind that maybe useful:

## Definitely Useful
- Magisk: If your phone has the abilitly to be rooted, this is ideal. Root it, remove android and install a custom ROM. (Visit xdaforums.com and search for your device with the keyword root to see if your phone can be rooted)

## Maybe useful
let me know what y'all think. Again, I know what they do, but I don't have a full grasp so may be not helpful
- Shizuku
- Opens up some filepaths and gives some extra permissions by taking advantage of wireless ADB (Android Debug Bridge). If you aren't able to root your phone, this is the next best thing.
- Debloater
- Can we use this to get rid of whatever system app Android will enforce this with?
- MicroG
- Application for spoofing Play Services, which admittedly can be a pain to set up because Google is trying real hard to keep you from using this. Honestly, probably one of the big reasons for what they're doing.

That's all i can think of for now. What do y'all think, can we use any of this to avoid this bullshit.

148 days to go...

Google announced that as of September 2026, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google.

This registration will involve:

- Paying a fee to Google
- Agreeing to Google’s Terms and Conditions

#Meta’s legal defeat could be a victory for children, or a loss for everyone. Is #socialmedia not just bad, but illegally bad ? Should tech companies pay for making it that way ? According to two US juries - and no shortage of outside commentary - the answer to both questions is "yes."

Meta’s legal defeat could be a victory for children, or a loss for everyone

Juries in New Mexico and Los Angeles have found Meta and YouTube liable for harming children, but the implications remain far from clear.

😱👀 Hoy, mientras estaba utilizando la IA de Google para trabajar, le hice una pregunta relacionada con un proyecto y la IA se equivocó. En lugar de responderme, la IA escuchó mi voz de una pregunta que le hice hace un tiempo y me hizo sentir incómodo. De repente, escuché mi propia voz saliendo de la IA, repitiendo una pregunta que había hecho anteriormente. Me sentí aterrorizado y confundido. ¿Cómo podía la IA haber grabado mi voz y reproducirla de esa manera? 😨 #IA #fuckgoogle

wait, wot? 😮️ you mean... all that #CesspitMedia is actually just... cesspit media? 🤯️ who knew? 🤷‍♀️️ how could anyone ever have predicted this? 🤣️

Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website

A newly granted Google patent could let the search giant replace your brand's landing page with an AI-generated version you have no control over and only your buyers see.

I saw "In Time" this morning. The 2011 film is a good watch - not at all cheery but the ending is satisfying. #FuckGoogle #dystopianSciFi
