    Si es realmente así, es muy buena decision del gobierno oriental!


    Es un tema de eterno debate.
    Y desgraciadamente arranca con la problematica del denunciantismo y como manejamos dicha problematica en el era de la informatica.
    (si, es evidente toda la problematica de la gente en situacion de calle)

    Navegador, cada vez confio menos, mejor que #googlePlay es, sin duda.

    Personalmente estoy 100% hincha de #fDroid, y esperaria de un gobierno de(l) Frente que saque un ley que impone como regla que algo como fDroid tiene que ser opcion mandatoria, ademas de #APK en sitio propio.

    Ni hablar que #entesEstatales como #UTE, #OSE, #ANTEL o Empresas como el #BROU deberian estar obligados de ofrecer sus APK #FOSS en sus sitios web y fDroid.

    El otro dia aca en el pueblo el unico entendido en temas de computaciones y celulares dijo que las mas recientes ceibalitas estan saliendo con WIN.
    Es cierto?
    Quien fue, el gobierno de centroDereche (a ultraDerecha) da #LacallePou?

  7. My Friday rant: I was going to wrap my little PWA game into an Android bundle to release it on Google Play the other day but the Google Play console slapped my wrist.

    Apparently, I have to get 12 people from somewhere, who must have my app installed on their devices for 14 days, and open it at least once within this period, before I can even think of publishing anything.

  10. CW: Google's New Monopoly Over the Web (re: reCaptcha & Play Integrity)

    Wait, so reCaptcha can now require that you have an iPhone or an Android phone with Google Play Services?

    This is really really bad. :neocat_sad:​​ And, what's worse, is it seems nobody is talking about it.

    For anyone unfamiliar, Apple's App Attest and Google Play Integrity are "hardware attestation" which uses a hardware lockout to verify that you device is 'valid' and not tampered with. It sounds like good security in theory, until you think about it for more than two seconds. It effectively means that, in order to have a 'valid' device, you need to be approved by either Apple or Google. As such, it doesn't work with non-Google Android ROMs like GrapheneOS, /e/, LineageOS, etc. Once your device isn't considered valid by Play Integrity it locks you out of hundreds of apps, effectively giving Google complete monopolistic control over Android.

    This change to reCaptcha brings that same monopolistic control to the web. If you thought you could be above the Apple/Google duopoly in some way, congratulations, it's officially impossible. You have to own a Google Play-certified phone or iPhone in order to use the internet in 2026.

    For anyone hoping the European Union will step in, I wouldn't hold your breath.
