>be me>wake up>check dev news>Google is literally cooking Android>they want to kill the open source project and lock everything behind their walled garden>meanwhile we devs built our careers on this platform>imagine waking up one day and your whole livelihood is gone because some suit decided "not profitable enough">this isn't tinfoil anymore anons, read the changelogs yourself>if we don't say something now there won't be anything left to say later>devs, what do we actually do about this?
>>108921039I quit Android development in 2015 because Google never fixes bugs. Now they have over 500,000 incorrectly closed bug reports spanning at least three issue tracker systems.Android 4 was peak. Fuck everything after that.
>>108921039Actual android devs aren't affected much buy it (unless you develop newpipe and revanced), adb install still works and will work for the foreseeable future unless google wants to revamp the complete build process. Tho worst you'll have to pay for a development license like you do with applel
>>108921039fuck the new pedophile world order
>>108921057>adb install still worksnot telling my mom or my retarded sis to use that.yeah it does matter to give easy access.
>>108921339OP's post was about developers not about sharing your hobby project with others. For thay yeah it's pretty annoying
https://keepandroidopen.org/and yes it's so over
>>108921039>wake up>check dev news>Google is literally cooking Android>they want to kill the open source project and lock everything behind their walled gardensorry to hear about your coma anon, welcome back to the land of the living.
>all this panic>look inside>you can't publish scam or phishing apps anymoreoh no?
>google deleted my account years ago for violating tos>my phone number is forever banned from creating another google account>can't use 90% of pre-installed apps on my android phone>can't use the store on my phoneeven if I want to use my Android(tm) phone the way Google intended, I couldn't do it, without yet again violating tos by using a burner sim
>>108921640You still can.Google hasn't changed their app review process, it's as easy to publish spyware on their store as it was before.Unlike F-Droid, which builds your app, and requires it to be auditable.
>>108921039android peaked in 2014 anyways. and now that most new phones don't have unlockable bootloaders and normalfags don't give a shit, you're going to eat the slop and be happy. man i remember the olden days of the XDA community coming together to bypass the knox efuse being tripped upon rooting the phone on the galaxy note 3. those were the days, so many bright minds together in unison. now that it's a pajeet infested hellscape and the old guard aged out of custom ROMs it will never happen again.
>>108922700>become a second class citizen globally because some shitlib in california decided your opinion against the chosen people in youtube comments was too spicy>>108922711as usual with big tech, they're just punishing the well meaning people wanting to live outside of the walled garden while the crimes inside the garden go unpunished. literally UK: the ecosystem
>>108921039big tech = EEE
>>108921039The future doesn't belong to platforms.The world will fragment again.So there will be work to be done for local projects.It's always the Babel tower dynamic. The world consolidates into these megastructures and then it shatters.It's inevitable this will happen to the big tech too
>>108921039Good news. Phoneniggers need the rude awakening>muh livelihoodSo you contributed to this corporate hellscape ecosystem? You deserve it
>>108921039>I built my entire career to be dependent on a central authority not fucking me over>they fucked me over, how could this happen?many such cases. hopefully you have some programming skills that apply outside of google's walled garden. otherwise you can probably work at fast food, securiry guard, landscaping, uber, etc
>>108921039Well "Mr. Dev", if you're so capable as you say you are, why don't you make your own fork of Android with all your amazing products and put it all on some no-name chink hardware and start selling it yourself?Surely people would buy it, right? Having an open platform is what consumers want, right?I bet it'll be a success and you'll become rich.
>>108922729>use fake sim>get banned>ITS DA LIBRULS
>>108926002being forced to hand over your personal phone number to the jews to be "allowed" to participate in søycieŧy is already too far
>>108921039Aren't they still allowing users to install apks but now you have to wait 24h? I still think it's fucking bad but there is still a way to install your stuff
>>108927888Yes. So the screeching is just /g/ being /g/. It's only a one time wait too. The Devs will have to verify their ID before uploading to the official play store, but this will not affection. F-Driod, Aurora, or Obtanium. Is requiring an ID for selling your jeetware ok the official store bad? I don't think so. It will filter out Raji and the other street shittera from uploading their malware APKs.It's a literal nothing burger
