I am using a couple of android devices that are rooted and pretty well de-googled. I am using F-droid and other repos and pretty much sticking with open source. Will this change hit any of the FOSS stuff? I understand we can still install those apk's as per usual.
Honestly, seeing how Linux has been exploding in growth thanks to the steam deck and copilot, I don't see how this doesn't do anything other than bring about a sort of streisand effect. Normies are gonna stick with their normie shit. They don't want to learn anything different. They likely are already giving up data and privacy. I hate to be this guy but.... fuck em?
It's always been an arms race. To one degree or another. And the so it continues. Just keep fighting.
