@reichenstein @b800 I am also an Android and Dropbox user (and MacOS too), this is disappointing. Will Android subscriptions decrease to reflect the lack of new features and continuous development then? If I move to a new device will I still be able to install it?
@streetcoder there is a way to install widevine drm on Chromium for Raspberry Pi OS and with it Spotify on browser works. there is even a separate chromium browser install that supports widevine from the get go.
@reichenstein this is great for Samsung users, my (budget) phone comes with Meta and Microsoft software that you can disable but not uninstall.
@joannastern here people who have some cash in their savings account are either buying a cheap phone just to have their banking apps installed (and they keep it at home exclusively) or instead of passing down an older phone they keep it for this purpose. Banks are having to contend with it too. My bank has a "street mode" if I'm not connected to home WiFi it imposes limits and asks for facial recognition for anything above a x$ (it uses the photo ID you submitted when you opened the account).

@joannastern This report from the BBC explains it. Desktop YouTube will translate the official subtitles provided by the BBC to English.

And this has some shots of how the criminals act (but no subs). They will break your car window if isn't open and grab it from the dashboard if you're using it for gps (or texting and driving). They get it on metro stations as the doors are closing and they get it on the street on bikes etc.

@joannastern here in Brazil they do this to everyone, Android too, but they hold you at gunpoint and make you tell them your pin. Or, they just snag it out of your hands while you're distracted texting by the sidewalk and keep the phone unlocked while they work on it, without knowing your pin, they just use SMS and Gmail to reset passwords. Then they take advantage of the instant payments all Brazilian banks must offer and transfer large sums out of people's accounts.
