A couple months ago, I commissioned this absolute heater from the goat @KornArt3 for a compilation thumbnail.
Unfortunately, I ended up going in a different direction, but I don't want it to go to waste because it's too good to not share!
Google's Android developer ID requirement is now live. Apps from unregistered developers are blocked on certified Android devices in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. The rule goes global in 2027.
To register, developers hand Google a government ID, their legal name, address, email, and phone number. They also pay $25. This applies even if the app never touches Google Play.
Google says sideloading isn't going anywhere. F-Droid called that claim "clear, concise, and false." Users who want an unverified app now face ten steps, developer mode, several warning screens, and a 24 hour wait.
Google is clearly putting the squeeze on Android's openness.

It’s time to support open alternatives like @GrapheneOS ✊
