Hi everyone today I want to share a problem that is going around regarding android which is about to become a locked platform just like iOS We must act before Google takes complete control #privacy #fuckyougoogle #degoogle @keepandroidopen

Here's what can happen in September!

A new era for choice and openness

News and insights on the Android platform, developer tools, and events.

Power users, sideloading. All that says is, normal or day to day users will not be allowed to sideload, install from other sources. Needing internet access to verify. Bunch of crap. If you want to rule, just plain open state it, and ask everyone to bow down to you. That will be more fitting to your nonsense of silently making things worse for users. #boycottgoogle #fuckyougoogle #android #sideloading #mydevicemywish #foogle #google

Google What the actual fuck

Why do I need to use a 3rd party app to track down what applications are launching to show FULL SCREEN ADVERTISEMENTS

Like what the actual fuck are you doing?

To be VERY clear here

Avast
AVG
Malwarebytes

None of them detected these.

Google Play Protect? Yeah you're all good 👌

Oh!

And remember the days when you could search for {foo} and scroll through the first couple pages and they'd be useless, so you'd go down to the bottom where pages 1 through TEN would be listed and you could click on "8" just to get past it and that would take you to 8 through 18 and you could skip ahead some more??

😭😭😭 I miss that!!

Now just current page and fucking arrows for the next and previous.

I CAN'T "Next" 100 TIMES!!

I just saw an article from the NYT talking about how Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, is trying to guilt-trip Google Gemini employees into sacrificing their work-life balance to chase after his infinite growth delusion (he claims it is to “turbocharge” the company’s efforts to “win” the “artificial general intelligence” race… but let’s be real here…)

@cmsdengl @democratsabroad

I just did it, so at least in Canada it's not turned off...

Yet?

Also, yet another reminder that open source solutions > proprietary bullshit too.

Now I’m just sitting here asking myself… do I really wanna spend XYZ amount of time trying to read thru the replies in that forum post to figure out whatever might have happened to that functionality within the ~2 or so years I hadn’t been logging into the app?

I swear man, that scale & the functionalities on the Fitbit app/website like the Guest weigh-ins & the ability to re-assign them was so good ‘til Google acquired Fitbit 🙄
