I'm also on Telegram, GitHub, Instagram (drawings), and wherever else under @Sominemo handle (except FA lmao).
Not going to cohost because its UI makes my eyes bleed.
"We're transforming Android from operating system to intelligence system" shut up Google.
At least learn from Microsoft's PR mistake when they said they are evolving Windows into an "agentic OS".
@matt_w_forsythe@AndroidDev Having to wait at all is still bad. Again, a scammer will call back, but how do I remind a curious user to install my FOSS app if they are a first-timer? And why would they bother with it at all if they just wanted to, say, crop an image, and they want it now.
@sumitsahoo@AndroidDev You can still get yourself into a bad situation on iOS. The perceived security of iOS is mostly marketing, there have been slip-ups on App Store too. Instead of giving control to a greedy corporation, explore alternatives. Or at least demand a true neutral party.
@sumitsahoo@AndroidDev As history shows with Google Play, Google is not reliable as a "neutral party" to judge developers. The scammers will adapt, will slip into Google Play, I predict this will not decrease them by much. But this kills competition to Google Play for any genuinely curious users.
@AndroidDev It's like saying iOS is giving you the choice of sideloading because you can self sign apps so they can work a few days. You are increasing friction to the point where the alternative can't compete, this is NOT choice.
@AndroidDev A user needs to install a legitimate app to do something right now, is presented with choice of wither installing an app from Google Play, or having to wait 24h to install a FOSS app. Google Play wins, user choice inhibited.
FOSS apps are likely not gonna be using google certs.
