@Chickerino@tech.lgbt @Gargron@mastodon.social yes 😅 btw Google is doing exactly what I said: verification of dev certificate on the .APK allowing you to side load authentic apps. Only unverified .APK are blocked https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/08/google-will-block-sideloading-of-unverified-android-apps-starting-next-year/

@denzilferreira@techhub.social Denzil, nope. G****e demands you give them your private app signing keys, breaking any thrust chain this way.

@denzilferreira@techhub.social @Chickerino@tech.lgbt @Gargron@mastodon.social it's still opening a door to censor whomever they decide is not an approved developer for whatever reason. It's still not justifiable to completely lock out users to do what they want with their devices.
