Peace be with you, F-Droid Community. ๐น
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 ๐น
Is there a change to an app in Google TOCs that can get folk to get app from F-droid?
For example: "Free features for this app only available on play. New features and enhancements available (paid or) for free through f-droid." Or if you cannot openly advertise in the app, "Visit our website to get enhanced features and updates" with clear documentation on how to install and permit f-droid and get app through there.
That way, big app devs can create moves to f-droid, normalising it and chipping away at googles power. The more apps, the more legimate f-droid seems to normies.
Ideally done as soon before switchover as possible. Even reach out to content creators.
It moves from protest, to protest and solution.
