O Google bloqueou a capacidade de reCaptcha sem usar Google Play Services, o que cria um problema pra quem não pertence ao ecossistema deles. Sistemas operacionais que não o usam, como GrapheneOS ou LineageOS, ficarão em uma situação de desgraça.

KeepAndroidOpen

FediLab just came out Swinging on one of my Androids. I opened it for the first time after a patch, the program flashed a warning

Android is becoming a closed platform

Then it points people to

@keepandroidopen @GrapheneOS Maybe you can include another tip under "defend yourself", namely to "write to the manufacturers of the iot devices", who all bring an android app, which can then probably no longer be used under grapheneos, for example.

2 days with my #Fairphone running #e_os and I can do ALL of my essentials (and more) in life without Google. For the handful of apps trying to send analytics data to Google, it's refreshing to see how the Advanced Privacy is blocking all of those connections.

Folks, it's time to #degoogle Big Tech has exploited us long enough.

#Google "developer verification" is not actually about security.
Here I described why.
https://dev.to/indigotime/proposal-on-play-store-security-measures-alternative-to-googles-mandatory-developer-1b24

TL;DR: I believe that it is not enough just to show opposition to these "security measures", there should also be an alternative proposal offering.

For people that doesn't understand computers & phone devices, what are your plans when #ageverification , and #idverification in #EU gets serious while avoiding #bigtech and #bigcorps even if they try to make the use of #vpn illegal like in #utah? Is there any way to skip all of it at once in all your devices (laptop,phone)?

I'm tired of reading about how bad is the situation. I want to know what we can do, even if its little actions, and so other people can do the same. Thks!

#FDroid, home to thousands of free and #opensource Android apps, calls Google's developer verification an "existential threat." An estimated 85% of F-Droid apps could face distribution issues because their developers signed through F-Droid, not through Google. @keepandroidopen #KeepAndroidOpen https://keepandroidopen.org #argh #google #android #evil #grapheneos

Ab September 2026 müssen sich alle Android-App-Entwickler bei Google zentral registrieren, einen amtlichen Ausweis vorlegen und Signaturschlüssel einreichen. Apps nicht registrierter Entwickler werden auf allen zertifizierten Geräten weltweit blockiert. Dies gefährdet F-Droid, die Open-Source-Distribution und die Autonomie der Nutzer. @keepandroidopen

Developer verification will be enforced on certified devices with Google Play Services installed, which is the majority of Android devices. There are options to bypass the restriction:

The OpenStreetMap Foundation has signed the open letter to Google to Keep Android Open.

#OpenStreetMap #OSM #OSMF #Android #KeepAndroidOpen #Google

Just in case anyone missed it:

In September 2026 #Google will lock down #android to prevent you from installing apps from alternative stores like #fdroid or even #sideload them.

They did *not* back down.

They say it's for #security but it not.

It's to control your #phone, your #apps, your #freedom.. and by extension.. *you*.

Help prevent this insanity.

See https://keepandroidopen.org/ for what you can do. Boost this message for extra reach.
