Both Google and Apple claim that their mobile operating systems (iOS & Android) are the most secure, reliable, and privacy friendly. Who do you believe?
@nixcraft None of them. I want a phone OS where I can control the apps that are running on it. #grapheneos looks great, but it's not easy to install alternative phone OS's.
Installed GrapheneOS on my phone, secure and private OS based on Android.
What an irony, you need a phone from Google to get more privacy and freedom :)
The website “Keep Android Open” is an initiative to protest and advocate against a new policy by Google which bans sideloading apps. The goal is to pressure Google to reverse or modify this policy to protect the open nature of the Android platform and the ability to sideload or use 3rd party app stores without excessive restrictions https://keepandroidopen.org
@nixCraft This is a good idea BUT
Alternatives exist like #lineageos #grapheneos and a bunch of others that will allow you to actually own your device and it's data, that will allow you to sideload apps until your heart is content, that will empower you to screw Google.
If you continue to not be able to sideload because of #Google, use that as motivation to explore these #opensource alternatives. #SetYourselfFree
This is a small personal instance of Bonfire in the Fediverse.
