Peace be with you, F-Droid Community. 🌹

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 🌹

      That’s actually the problem, you will be able to side-load for now, but you have to enable a setting and wait 24 hours. They’re laying the groundwork to remove side-loading.

      That said, it’s unclear if fdroid will still work. They’re gating installs; nothing says they’ll let other apps do installs ungated.
