Google Unveils New Process for Installing Unverified Android Apps

https://hackaday.com/2026/03/20/google-unveils-new-process-for-installing-unverified-android-apps/

🚨 Less than 168 days remain before Android becomes a locked down platform!

Google intends to force all software developers to register with a centralized Google service before their apps can run on the biggest mobile operating system on the planet, regardless of whether those apps are distributed via Google Play.

Find @keepandroidopen’s website at https://keepandroidopen.org for more information about this, why it’s a problem, and how you can make your voice heard.

As supporters of open platforms we have consistently encouraged developers and alternative app stores to refuse to participate in this program, and to spread this message throughout the Android community.

Bonjour le Fediverse ! Ce matin, je vous présente un coffret pour dés de jeux de rôle dans l'univers de H.P Lovecraft : "Cthulhu" 🐙

Je me suis régalée sur ce projet en creusant et sculptant un coffret dans la masse d'un très beau morceau de noyer normand provenant d'un vieux stock d'un ébéniste !

C'était une commande sur mesure et l'univers n'est pas de moi (mais ça vous le savez déjà !).

Bonne journée
