Dein Smartphone wird bald nicht mehr Dir gehören. Im September 2026 wird Google alle Android-Apps sperren, deren Entwickler sich nicht bei Google registriert haben.keepandroidopen.org
Android va devenir une plateforme fermée
En août 2025, Google a annoncé que, à partir de septembre 2026, il ne sera plus possible de développer des applications pour la plateforme Android sans s’être préalablement enregistré auprès de Google. Cet enregistrement impliquera:
- Paiement de frais à Google
- Acceptation des conditions d’utilisation de Google
- Fourniture d’une pièce d’identité officielle
- Téléchargement de la preuve de la clé de signature privée du développeur
- Liste de tous les identifiants d’application actuels et futurs

Stop Google from limiting APK file usage
Google is attempting to block the use of side loaders and APK files to download apps outside of their play store by requiring developers to submit their IDs and addresses.Brian Wahl (Change.org)

≪ Hummel zwischen Krokusblüten ≫
Das #Google #Pixel 7 Pro kam, wie auch angekündigt, bereits heute.
Auspacken – in die Hand nehmen – passt. Ganz anders als beim #Samsung #Galaxy S21 Ultra, mit dem ich gleich von Anfang an überhaupt nicht warm werden konnte – von den offensichtlichen Defiziten im Bereich Fotografie einmal ganz abgesehen.
Nachdem ich es eingerichtet hatte, und auch schon die #Android - Version auf 16 aktualisiert hatte, bin ich eine kleine Runde mit dem Rad gefahren und habe einige Schnappschüsse gemacht. Auch damit konnte ich mich sofort anfreunden.
Morgen zur Moorkatzenrundtour nehme ich deshalb auch nur das Pixel mit.

The #FDroid website has a new banner on top to remind visitors that #Google did not change course and #Android will be locked-down in under 200 days.
If you care about the freedom to control your devices and care about the privacy of you data, please contact your representative and make your voice heard.
https://keepandroidopen.org/ (thanks @marcprux) has the resources to guide you.
We know users will rarely visit the site so the Client(s) will get a banner soon too.
Thank you for your support!

We'll be posting about important updates and maintenance for the IzzyOnDroid repo here as well as answer your questions.
Feel free to ping us if you ever need help or have questions, several team members watch this account 😀

Forbes: Google Starts Sharing All Your Text Messages With Your Employer
As reported by Android Authority, “Google is rolling out Android RCS Archival on Pixel (and other Android) phones, allowing employers to intercept and archive RCS chats on work-managed devices. In simpler terms, your employer will now be able to read your RCS chats in Google Messages despite end-to-end encryption.”
#Google trips over its own words, when they sell you #Android it's the best computing device in the world that does everything. After you bought it Google doesn't let you do anything *you* want to.
#Sideload is a made-up term. Putting software on your computer is simply called “installing”, regardless of whether that computer is in your pocket or on your desk.

Why we currently do not recommend the @rodentapp Mastodon client:
- it's not #opensource let alone #FLOSS
- it's only available from Google's Play store
- it contains trackers (Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics)
- it wants access to your ad ID
In short, this app is against the spirit of Mastodon and the Fediverse. There are plenty of Mastodon apps that respect you: @Tusky, Fedilab (@apps), @moshidon …

Kommenden Samstag, 30. November 2024 werden wir von der Berliner Gruppe der @Free Software Foundation Europe zwischen 10:30 und 14:30 Uhr im WerkRaum der Bezirkszentralbibliothek Pablo Neruda (Frankfurter Allee 14A, 10247 Berlin) einen Upcycling Android Workshop anbieten.
Mit Upcycling Android zeigt die Free Software Foundation Europe auf, wie mit Hilfe der Installation Freier Software Betriebssysteme Telefone durch Flashen länger genutzt werden können. Gemeinsam Flashen wir mit Ihnen Beispieltelefone und werden zudem Telefone bereitstellen, an denen das Freie Software Betriebessysteme ausprobiert werden kann. Währenddessen beantworten wir Fragen rund ums Flashen und zeigen mit F-Droid und microG zudem eine Welt voller Freier Software auf.
Alle Informationen zum Workshop sind auch auf berlin.de auf den Seiten der Bezirkszentralbibliothek Pablo Neruda zu finden.
An interesting #android app appeared in F-Droid: whoBIRD, that tries to recognize #bird species by sound. It uses well-known #birdNET model, but contrary to official birdNET app, whoBIRD works offline – a very welcome feature, as internet access in the woods or among bogs usually leaves much to be desired.
I have yet to test it on real #birds, but so far it has properly recognized “human whistle” and ”machinery sounds” ;)
FFS.
So who can recommend a #android #sms app that isn't about to get all the messages fed into an AI and some fucking chatbot piping up like a neoclippy trying to tell me what to think?
Will removing Google's SMS app and installing some other one be enough to stop this?
