Please let this be a nightmare…
Great i guess it is time to root my phone, and run a custom rom. I haven’t had to do that in years because android finally got good.
If you use the term “sideloading” you already lost the battle before you finished your sentence
Because of using Shelter, this will make my phone practically unusable.
This is fucking ridiculous
I need an OS for phone which is completely controlled by community.
I think Android on my Samsung 25 Ultra is already blocking Kolab Now for being private. EPSTEIN FILES.
I guess it’s time to buy a linux phone
I honestly wish for the responsible people to die. A natural, painless death, but let it be quick. All of silicon valley is so evil it would be deemed unrealistic for a movie villain. They are selling out our freedoms and planet for what? They are already stinking rich.
Last I checked, unverified software didn’t run the risk of making my phone fly itself into, and bring down, a skyscraper.
The Android ecosystem has been feeling more like an invasive chaotic advertisement machine the past few years. The play store is a cesspool, the weather app switch was poorly executed, Google Podcasts went to the graveyard, and Google pay getting shut down meant I had to switch back to vomits Venmo.
I still have Android gaming handhelds, but why wouldn’t I just get an iPhone the next time I go to replace my phone? I can’t believe I’m even saying that after being so die hard Android so for years.
Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport.
Fucker, if I own the airport, own the planes in the airport, am the only person using my own planes in my own airport, then nobody is asking for my ID.
Our phone, our software choice.

Okay, but what if Google owns the airport, the planes, and thinks it’s entitled to own the people flying on them, to boot?
Our phone, our software choice.
But what if you owned nothing and were happy about it?
There it is, haha.
Gave me a good chuckle as i’m with you here.
I have a similar sentiment when it comes to ads, my device, i pay for the internet and the device is inside my home. I’ll decide if you get to show me ads.
Wtf is this
Well. They will try anyway.
I’d also say, it’s likely rooting your phone would work around this, though I don’t recommend that from a security perspective.
