So not only google is trying yo crush fdroid, they’re also trying to crush anything without google services. I really wish the EU moved immediately on this one…

What is supposed to happen with desktops here? If they require a phone to pass the captcha on the desktop that is already a huge issue and many people will complain about that regardless of play services.

Recaptcha has gone to “make sure you’re not a robot” to “make sure you’re not blocking Google’s ad revenue”.

I’ve been on the fence as to what my next phone will be based on the specs, Pixel or Moto, with GrapheneOS. No freakin way is Google getting any of my money. Time to investigate the I2P network and spend less time on the clearweb.

Likely illegal in the EU, somebody should bring this to the attention of applicable authorities when it scales.

So does that lock out not only deGoogled Android devices, but also Huawei smartphones?

All that transhumanism talk (I think it was mainly from Musk and Bezos) wasn't about bettering humankind but about building the perfect slaves.
