Amazing how fast Linux went from being the first and last name in digital counterculture to now being full of compliance bros seeking online clout.

This guy and his one-man mission to implement bad faith age verification at all costs is a warning for the open computing community.

Google mag Gebühren und Ausweise von den Leuten, die dazu beitrugen, dass wir das System nutzen und dem Konzern dafür Daten überlassen und es mag uns bevormunden.

Schrittweise #DIDit und #dutgemacht durchspielen ist natürlich noch viel besser als den Konzern überreden nicht doof zu sein. ;)

@tkissing The issue is not with what is in the flow the issue is with where the flow is placed...

The bypass is delivered via Google Play Services not the OS. That is a problem because
- Without Google Play Services you will no longer be able to install apps at all on non-rooted devices.
- Google can remove this "feature" silently, any time, on any device, without an update. Today it exists only as a blog post.

The lock is permanent. The key is revocable.

Keep Android Open

Befürwortung von Android als kostenlose und offene Plattform für jeden, um Apps zu entwickeln.

@terminaltilt its about to get WAY WORSE! #KEEPANDROIDOPEN

Hey all,

If you haven't seen this yet, Google is planning to require mandatory developer
identity verification for all Android apps, including apps distributed outside
the Play Store, taking effect September 2026. This affects every independent
and open source Android developer directly.

The community has been fighting back at keepandroidopen.org.

The more projects
that speak up the harder it is for Google to ignore.

If it hadn't been for #keepandroidopen , my plan had now been to make acrylic paintings with QR code on water and juice bottles at a large Juice press.

Can't be done now ;/

I am now looking for someone who will create an icon theme for Linux with me and release new versions.

And then I can do that with the juice press.

Let's see how long this takes me to find someone.
