Thank you for the info, sadly the present situation is not very satisfactory.

On Top EU is allowing autocratic action from Von der Leyen. Bowing to google and cancelling fines so yet again the law is an ass, our rights and privacy worth nothing

#Google has been up to no good for a long time, but now they want to get really #evil!

take a look please: keepandroidopen.org/en/

Starting September 2026, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over #government ID.

duh.

“Meta and Google get data from the app your boss uses to track you theverge.com/policy/935299/bos…

if the app is from the Google app store, Google uses it to track you.

if the app has a Google or Facebook login, Meta & Google use it to track you.

if the app is on an #android #TMobile phone purchased in USA or Canada, Meta, Google and Amazon use it to track you.

that’s why Google wants to kill #sideloading. they want to monopolize #stalkerware

A new study on workplace monitoring tools found that all nine examined shared worker data with third parties.

Since I’ve had a degoogled phone, I’ve been happy to share my experiences with those who are also looking for a solution. I’ve summarized my experience in this post.

You’ll find out what options I considered and tried, as well as what inconveniences are worth keeping in mind. I also provide an example of how to collect what’s important for you when choosing a device for degoogling.

Google's new reCAPTCHA requires Google Play Services on Android. Users running privacy-focused custom ROMs like GrapheneOS now automatically fail verification.

iOS users don't face this requirement to prove they're human. Gating web access behind proprietary software isn't about security, it's about ecosystem lock-in.

Google Broke reCAPTCHA for De-Googled Android Users

The company that decides whether you're a bot now also requires you run its software to prove otherwise.

^{Rick Findlay (Reclaim the Net)}

sounds like the web is about to get a lot more annoying to use for #grapheneos users and others using #android devices with """compromised integrity""", people without smartphones, people using smartphones with other operating systems, etc.: support.google.com/recaptcha/a…

google's new "mobile reCAPTCHA verification" will require you to scan a QR code from either an iOS device with the reCAPTCHA app or an android device with up-to-date google play services.

EDIT: this is part of google's new "fraud defense" system, and is (seemingly) intended to be used for more "important" things like purchases rather than just e.g. comment sections. however, there's nothing stopping site owners from using this thing everywhere

It’s one of the most exciting devices of the year, and rightfully deserves the recognition it’s receiving.

I’m not going to be hunting one down to buy. If you’re into mobile photography, I hope you disagree with me.

You will need a Google pixel phone, for Graphene OS.

High end Android phones are out of my reach. I spend money on cycling parts

Any phone above 200 USD is out of reach of most people where the salaries are 50 USD or less.

Pixel phones are 700 USD or more

The Motorola phones which will work with Graphene OS have not even been put into production yet

The Android division of Google needs to be split up into parts like the Bell phone company for this treason
