Google and his Darth Vader move
(lemmy.ml)
Peace be with you, F-Droid Community. 🌹
As many probably know, Google will block Android starting 2027.
Here is my hope: Google has shot itself in the foot with this Darth Vader move, because many People who loves privacy will now switch to de-googled systems, because ( Since to my knowledge), the blockade won't affect those systems.
So this is just my Openion and my HOPE.
What's your take on this?
And I kindly say to all developers: Please don't register in Google.
There are so many people using de-googled systems now, including myself. Please keep going for us, and four you too. Please
Best wishes from Germany 🌹
well for one, you don't even need play services for all apps downloaded from the play store. and for another, even for the ones that do need it, play services run as an unprivileged sandboxed app, the same as any. so it can't enforce anything google wants because it has zero control over anything.
Phew, thanks for the explanation
