A one day wait period to install an app on your mobile pocket computer. Fucken bullshit.
Edit: to all the “its one time” defenders, its one time for now. Stop falling for it. It always starts with an inch.
It used to be no time at all. You could just do it. From that perspective they’ve already taken a mile.
They already showed their hand. Doesn’t matter if they’ve backed down. My new phone is going to use GrapheneOS and if this shit trickles down (Graphene is still based on Android) I’m going full Linux phone.
You can’t sideload on Linux
In these scenarios, scammers exploit fear – using threats of financial ruin, legal trouble, or harm to a loved one – to create a sense of extreme urgency. They stay on the phone with victims, coaching them to bypass security warnings and disable security settings before the victim has a chance to think or seek help.
Does this actually happen? Or they just trying to manufacture consent to all this bullshit?

This is not a solution at all. They want to make sick of users who have to wait a whole day ust to install a fucking app. Fuck them.
google doing their best to make me move to a different platform for my next phone.
anybody know of other options?
It feels that it is either Linux phones, or Fairphone, or GrapheneOS. We are somewhat fucked.
I don’t think anything other than degoogled Android is mature enough to recommend. And it looks like degoogled androids might extinct soon.
I’ve preordered my jolla phone a few weeks ago. It will arrive around september. Let’s hope it don’t suck 😉
So now what’s is my motivation to move back to android from iPhone if they are gonna do the same bullshit as apple, hopefully some manufacturers switch to more open android versions like lineage or something
iOS is not any better than Android… We gotta wait for other operating systems to emerge.
