Peace be with you, F-Droid Community. ๐ŸŒน

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 ๐ŸŒน

A rounding error that many friends and family rely on for tech advice.

I actually got surprised how quick people around me reacted to remove/avoid the tracker before sharing url links for example.

    This is anecdotal, but yeah. I once mentioned this google thing to my wife. She was due to change her phone and once I explained she was like "I'd like to have what you have" so she is now on a refurbished Pixel with Graphene.
