#aurorastore — Public Fediverse posts

It seem that Google has too much time on their hands, so they are recently fucking with Aurora Store again. Huge pitty that EU has ever allowed such an unrestricted monopoly power to develop. Forcing everyone to use Google Play Store only through their app and targeting every alternative should be illegal. And that all was even before https://keepandroidopen.org/

#AuroraStore #Google #EU #KeepAndroidOpen #PhoneIsJustAComputer

I have to say, though, that the complete lack of communication from the people working on #AuroraStore about what was going on and what, if anything, they were doing has made me lose confidence in them. I couldn't find a single statement from them anywhere. I don't think there was anything they COULD do, but a simple acknowledgment that it was happening would have been reassuring. As it was, random users just had to look to other users for help

It seems #Google has stopped (for the moment) limiting apps being installed or updated through the #AuroraStore. It lasted about a week. Was that a shot over the bow? I can't imagine Google deciding to peacefully co-exist alongside open source Android use, beyond the control of Google. I'm afraid this was just a taste of things to come. #AuroraStoreApocalypse

Z lekkim opóźnieniem, ale #grapheneos zainstalowany na #pixel9a 👍

Instalacja błyskawiczna, a teraz zabawa z konfiguracją aplikacji.

Sam szukałem tych informacji, więc dla następnych szukających:
1. W Private Space z usługami Google:
- IKO działa, płatności BLIK też,
- Erste działa, płatności nie działają - podobno problemem jest właśnie Private Space
- mObywatel działa
- McDonald - nie działa :D (ale to tylko na plus)

2. Na głównym profilu głównie #openSource z #obtainium ewentualnie dla mniej istotnych aplikacji #fdroid i #aurorastore - ale te dwa ostatnie będę chciał docelowo zlikwidować

Quick #tut:

only wired step:
5min web install #grapheneOS over stock #android

wirlessly from here forward:

get #fDroid
&use to get #obtainium,
#shelter,
and #auroraStore;

use shelter to clone aurora to #sandboxed work profile

use sandboxed aurora to #anonymously downolad&keep #google #playStore apps sandboxed

any trusted #foss apps can be gotten via f-droid on main profile like #riseUpVPN #moshidon and #clock

at any time sandboxed work profile apps can all be paused ( #disabled )with one click
