Well it says next year. And a lot could happen between then and now. Some comments think they will run into anti trust issues trying this.

tomyhaw@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play Store291·17 days agoWow thanks for posting this. I read the whole thing but what I’m not getting is the fact that their started concern is apks “side loaded”. This is aimed directly at the foss community as normal people already won’t I stall anything outside of the play store. No non tech enthusiasts go straight to git hub …
Well I think we are such a small percentage of users that care that it probably does not matter in the grand scheme. I just got on android in 24’ when rcs started working because my large family network was always worried they would lose communication with me. Because you know the little green text bubble things don’t get pictures and stuff from non iOS… People have no clue and don’t care as long as the phone works to swipe on sorry videos
Thanks for the explanation. So essentially custom roms with Google play services removed will actually be needed to download to he good apps like new pipe and the like
Makes sense. Is Google play store just apk files as well? I thought there was some other special sauce with it as well besides just running spyware in the background. This all sounds like a good way to get full names for YouTube add less app makers…
I’m not really understanding. I buy a phone. Peter codes and app with foss tools and emails it to me. No copyright or anything bad like a to do app. I want to use said app on my purchased phone. Now Peter will have to show his license and stuff? I guess developers are criminals.
tomyhaw@lemmy.worldto Android@lemdro.id•Google wants to make sideloading Android apps safer by verifying developers’ identitiesEnglish51·17 days agoOh I see someone already made a post. I can’t see how this is enforceable except for highly modifying the OS. It would have to be enforced at the device level correct,?
tomyhaw@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Open Source devs say AI crawlers dominate traffic, forcing blocks on entire countriesEnglish24·6 months agoI put a rate limit on my nginx docker container. No clue if it worked but my customers are able to use the website now. I get a Alton of automated probing and SQL injection requests. Pretty horrible considering I built my app for very minimal traffic and use session data in places rather than pulling from DB and the ddos basically attacks corrupt sessions
So I’m still on stock android on a pixel and there is no option for just pin? Maybe I have to remove fingerprint from the phone first but there is basically a serious backdoor built in. How many people will be able to turn there phone off under duress?
Good to know. Thankyou! I was so upset a ubuntu update bricked my old MacBook and I bought a new laptop instead of dealing with it.
Hi I just checked it out looks awesome. Unfortunately going down the rabbit hole again is looking less appealing. That’s what I liked about regolith, maybe I’m happy with gnome after reading the hyprland wiki 😅
Don’t you have to download a file manager search application etc? In addition to just the tiler
Well your not wrong a lot of privacy developers get more years than pedos
