wtf. we really don't own our devices anymore: Google just released what you will have to go trough to install apps from developers not wanted by them: This is Censorship. This is closing android, this is ripping the last bit of control we had from our hands.

And all this talk of "sideloading" no, i'm just installing normal apps, you make it so that has to be all hacky and seem risky.

@Julian_1_2_3_4_5 Aren't there other, #FOSS phone operating systems we can use? I'm using one atm even though I'm not an expert (there are good tutorials online), and it works very well!

@leamusi @Julian_1_2_3_4_5 I was an android user and fan for years, but moved to Apple. I know, not much better, but I think they did take privacy more seriously than Google. As my iPhone battery neared the end of its life, I switched to a @WeAreFairphone 6 running @murena e/os. Definitely recommend for anyone slightly techy, but e/os is probably not quite ready for your friends/family that are not good with tech.

@solarmunk @Julian_1_2_3_4_5 @WeAreFairphone @murena Yeah, I also have a Fairphone running lineageOS. Installed it some years ago on the recommendation of a more techy friend, but maybe I should read up on whether it's till a good option now :)
