    ⚠️ خطر حقيقي يهدد انفتاح نظام أندرويد: جوجل تخطط لمنع تثبيت أي تطبيق بدون موافقتها المسبقة ابتداءً من سبتمبر 2026

    في خطوة وصفتها حملة Keep Android Open بأنها "احتكارية" و"تهدد حرية المستخدمين والمطورين"، أعلنت جوجل أنه اعتباراً من سبتمبر 2026، لن يكون من الممكن تطوير أو تثبيت أي تطبيق على أجهزة أندرويد دون التسجيل المسبق والمركزي لدى جوجل. هذا التسجيل يتضمن دفع رسوم، وتقديم هوية حكومية، والموافقة على شروط جوجل.

    🔐 ماذا يعني هذا بالنسبة لك؟

    • للمستخدم: سيتم دفع تحديث لنظامك يمنعك من تثبيت أي تطبيق من خارج متجر جوجل بلاي، مما يلغي الوعد الأساسي الذي جعل أندرويد منصة مفتوحة.
    • للمطور: لن تتمكن من مشاركة تطبيقك مع أصدقائك أو عائلتك دون الحصول على موافقة جوجل أولاً.
    • للدولة: تفقد سيادتها الرقمية لصالح شركة خاصة قد تمتثل لطلبات الأنظمة القمعية بحذف تطبيقات قانونية.

    📌 هل هناك "حل" من جوجل؟ الجواب: لا

    جوجل قدمت ما يسمى بـ "التدفق المتقدم" للمستخدمين المحترفين، ولكنه:

    1. يتطلب أكثر من 10 خطوات مع شاشات تخويف وتأمين لمدة 24 ساعة.
    2. يتم تسليمه عبر Google Play Services (وليس نظام أندرويد)، مما يعني أن جوجل يمكنها تعديله أو إزالته في أي وقت دون علمك أو موافقتك.
    3. لم يظهر حتى الآن في أي نسخة تجريبية من أندرويد، وهو مجرد "منشور مدونة" حتى الآن.

    🚨 المصادر والمراجع الهامة (للاستزادة)

    💡 كيف يمكنك المساعدة الآن؟

    1. قم بتثبيت F-Droid (بديل لمتجر جوجل بلاي): f-droid.org
    2. قدم ملاحظاتك مباشرة لجوجل عبر استبيانهم: Android developer verification requirements survey (ابحث عن رابط الاستبيان داخل المقال)
    3. وقع على العريضة على Change.org: Sign this change.org petition (ابحث عن "Keep Android Open" داخل الموقع)
    4. تواصل مع الهيئات التنظيمية في بلدك (القائمة الكاملة موجودة في الرابط الأصلي وتشمل دولاً عربية وأجنبية).
    5. انشر الوعي على وسائل التواصل باستخدام الهاشتاج #KeepAndroidOpen ورابط الموقع: https://keepandroidopen.org/

    خلاصة: هذه ليست مجرد تحديثات أمنية، بل هي تحول جذري في فلسفة أندرويد من منصة مفتوحة إلى نظام مغلق يشبه نظام آيفون، مما يمنح جوجل سلطة مطلقة على البرامج التي يمكنك تثبيتها على هاتفك. الوقت المتبقي حتى سبتمبر 2026 هو فرصة للضغط والتغيير.

    Welches #Linux passt zu mir? 🐧️ (#CC2tv Folge 423)

    Dieses Video beleuchtet die aktuelle Linux-Landschaft und schafft Orientierung innerhalb der Vielzahl verfügbarer #Distributionen.

    Es analysiert, welche Systeme derzeit relevant sind, welche charakteristischen Eigenschaften sie aufweisen und für welche Anwenderprofile sie sich eignen.

    Der Fokus liegt auf benutzerfreundlichen Distributionen sowie auf Lösungen, die einen strukturierten Umstieg für Anwender ermöglichen.

    Damit richtet sich das Video auch an Nutzer, deren bestehende #Hardware kein Upgrade auf #Windows 11 unterstützt.

    Im Jahr 2026 existieren vielerorts organisierte Initiativen, die Privatpersonen beim Umstieg unterstützen, bestehende Rechner umrüsten und die Installation freier Software begleiten.

    Iode Android devices

    Latest version

    One Plus 13 with iode OS

    I have to carefully check alternatives in OS for Android devices and hardware, which are promised and delivered by third parties. Reading back the sentence I can see that I also am influenced negatively by Alphabet

    • third parties are good competitors of Alphabet on Android
    • Android has a few good competitors to google in the form of:
    • Fair Phone { which has slow hardware but is much easier to upgrade and maintain for YEARS}
    • Graphene OS which is solid, robust but only supports Pixel phones due to it's safety standards in hardware## Graphene OS has partnered with Motorola who will produce high quality Androids so we'll have solid FAST alternative hard and software for Android
    • I need new G4 Android phones URGENTLY which means the following

    No new Graphene powered Android by Motorola

    Retro Tech [REDACTED] Android due to fantasticly low price x1

    Retro Tech [REDACTED] mid range Android because of very good price x1

    • low price android has just 2GB ram and is used as a healthy yes / no GSM
    • good priced low mid range android has 4GB ram and is used as a full device
    • I only read of the iOde OS OnePlus 13 combo after I purchased the two above Androids
    • OnePlus 13 phone is not easy to find new with vanilla Android!
    • I can easily find OnePlus 15
    • Even second hand OnePlus 13 costs too much in relation to my low budget
    • The OnePlus top level series don't use microSD cards and have no analog audio output [a crime against all audio engineers like me]
    • I move music by copying it to microSD cards for the phones since that is the fastest using my SBC Pi5 computing systems
    • So I'm SOL after september with my phones too

    however

    • momentum forced me to get the simple alternatives
    • no androids means no internet. ISP0 forces the sim cards with internet in a phone
    • ISP0 gives way more internet bandwidth per EUR though

    isp0 actively blocks portable and home routers with sim card capability

    isp1 allows your own sim capable routers but gives way less bandwidth per EUR and is thus less atractive

    both isp's blocked g2 devices in november 2K25

    This meant the following

    • replace all G2 devices in network
    • cheapest available device G4 GSM is a whopping USD 40 until the [REDACTED] Androids were sold for USD 25
    • significant ammount of G2 devices need to be replaced
    • first two Androids were replaced because the power buttons along with the corresponding IC's needed replacement
    • I detest surface mount soldering work {I have large hands due to my massively tall posture}
    • I love only multilayered through the board soldering
    • the parts for the two old androids are not in stock in my country
    • the phones are too old to fix [three years]
    • th parts and labour will cost to much since one phone is not even receiving security updates (thank you samsung, you arseholes)

    Only options were the ones I chose

    Note:

    One Plus 13 may even be out of production, that means you can't buy it new anymore the year of manufacturing is 2024

    Google will completely lock down Android starting September 2026: no app development or installation without pre-registration, fees, and government ID. Their "advanced flow" takes 24 hours, is complex, and fully controlled by Google.

    ⚠️ This kills Android's core promise of openness.

    ⏳ Only months left to push back.

    Many here do stay in the know but in case you're not aware, Google plans to lock down what you can put on your #Android #CellPhone. You can read why this is an issue over at keepandroidopen.org

    Personnellement j'adhère à la #dégooglelisation car je souhaite m'écarter du cartel des #bigtech qui cirent les pompes de Trump et lui assure l'impunité de ses actions. Entre outre, Google va bientôt fermer son propre #GoogleOS et appliquer un #racket en bonne et due forme pour ceux, moins avertis, qui n'ont pas les connaissances pour trouver une alternative

    Im August 2025 hat Google angekündigt, dass es ab September 2026 nicht mehr möglich sein wird, Anwendungen für die Android-Plattform zu entwickeln, ohne sich zuvor bei Google registriert zu haben.

    Ein Riesenmist für unabhängige App-Stores.

    Android has always benefited from openness - allowing users, developers, and communities to build and share freely.

    The @keepandroidopen initiative highlights why openness matters for innovation, privacy, and user choice.

    If you care about the future of an open Android ecosystem, it’s worth reading and supporting:

    The only proof we need that our security and privacy tools work is the push for age verification and registered developers. The push for these laws and policies are nothing more than blatant attempts to turn every single hoster, developer, moderator, etc... into criminals for not making users easy to spy on by states or have data harvested from by corporations. It is also an attempt to deflect liability away from abuses on corporate platforms.
    But the assholes pushing this shit forget something, the same people they are targeting hold up the entire internet. Go ahead and keep calling your politicians, but I think it is time to go further.
    Sabotage.
    Your labour and projects are yours. Your skills and abilities are yours. The same people threatening you rely on your projects. I propose we threaten back. Not only refuse to comply, but threaten to sabotage projects to prevent the people threatening you from using them.
    The FLOSS world belongs to the people not the politicians or capitalists. They have no right to tell us what we shall must do. When they forget this we remind them with fire. This is a call for a #CyberRiot to remind them. Start with injecting warnings that they are forced to see, but have actions ready.

    linux isn't systemd; we have openrc, runit, and many more
    android isn't motorola/google/samsung; we have graphene, lineage, f-droid, and more

    the people pushing #DeveloperRegistration and #AgeVerification want you to believe there are no alternatives available
    that's NOT true, there are solutions out there right now:

    Google rudert ein Stück beim "Sideloading" zurück

    Googles Ansinnen, nur verifizierte Apps zum "Sideloading" - aka Installation von Apps - zuzulassen, schlug heftige Wellen und löste einen Proteststurm (Keep Android Open!) aus. Inzwischen schwächte Google die ursprünglichen Pläne ab und möchte das Installieren nicht verifizierter Apps für PoweUser:innen mit einigen "Sicherheitsvorkehrungen" ermöglichen.
