Google and his Darth Vader move (lemmy.nz)

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 🌹

Doesn't that only support phones made specifically by Google?

[–] SaintNectar@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 hours ago

Yes but you buy a second hand phone so you don't give money to these rats.

Others are coming from what I've heard, but yeah, currently only Pixels have the required hardware. It's still an awesome OS if you can find a decent second hand pixel.
