Is it safe for you to say this? If you say something they don’t like, they could do the same to you, no charge, no trial.

Who is this they you are talking about? It sounds like antisemitism.

And yes its safe for me to say. I think not having ties with Russian state propaganda for living normally is a risk I’m willing to take, as its no effort for me.

All these other speculations you’re pointing to you would have to prove to me first.

I think context as always matters when looking at things. Generalising things at seeking easy truths is when we leave out the nuances and these matter. Let’s focus for example on what I said vs what I didn’t say. I didn’t say a person exercising free speech is a problem, I said the person had ties with Russian state propaganda. Which I even explained with sources. Here are some more:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_(Plattform)

Your next point, after indicating generalizing all Germans are the same, was that I said this person(and all persons) doesn’t deserve human rights, vs what I actually said, they should have an indictment, where they would have a chance to appeal against.

Your ad hominem fallacy tactics are childish.

while I don’t approve of the method, leaving this person basically stranded and without indictment. I want to differentiate that the person in question is not a good person

The person seems heavily bound with Russian desinformation, ties with RT, and foreign letterbox company, to circumvent sanctions. Then got caught in the consequences of the freezing of Russian assets after the Ukraine war.

I doubt this person is as innocent as your meme makes them out to be so let’s differentiate please.

And you have data to prove that?

I get your frustration with recent mozilla actions, but I don’t think this one deserves it. For one your point seems like whataboutism. Secondly If you heard about Cambridge analytica it should be clear how much those algorithms shape our lives. It would be good to know for me if those algorithms are really just boring algorithms or if they are shaped by some political or company agenda.

first time I hear about it, seems to be based on lineageOS?

What’s with the premium tiers? Seems a bit sketchy to be honest.

Agreed. Google just didn’t consent to you getting an app without ads. My hope is maybe we can circumvent it for a while with PWA or browser website bookmarks. Maybe long enough for alternatives to arrive or consumer protection to kick in. I refuse to give up hope even though I might need to abandon android. For now I guess I will just not buy another phone since androids time seems limited. Really hard to find something to recommend to family and friends that just works. My goto grapheneOS also seems more and more cut down with more and more apps refusing to work outside play store downloads or refusing to work on 3rd party OS.

any version of android that’s not vendor or downloaded from the official android website

• like https://lineageos.org/
• https://e.foundation/e-os/
• or the aforementioned GrapheneOS
• calyxos.org (paused)

Done! for the curious, original title, “Cirrus App dev pulling app from certified android devices in '26/'27” new, “Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27”

Yes you’re right. I’ve worded that wrong in the title!

First of all thank you for providing a foss app!

I think it’s a big difference if the platform tolerates you or actively wants to stop you from doing it. You got my fullest sympathy.

Well for this case in particular yes, the dev will continue to develop the app on f-droid, the platform as a whole takes a hit through this though, so who knows how long they will continue out of goodwill.

edit: Play integrity already is problematic on GrapheneOS

The largest medicare provider in germany states legislative reasons they won’t support other 3rd party OS’

Thank you for these links they are fantastic! I was aware of the procedural lock in via play integrity services and also the lockdown on side loading so that didn’t get past me, but I wasn’t aware google also wants to alienate developers now by requiring ID. It seems to me google want to now fully commercialize the platform, transforming it into the ad infested network that web2+3.0 already became. I think their plan, by alienating non commercial devs, is that all apps will run on their ad models and non without them will be left.

since you’re compiling a list, lemme add a forum https://f95zone.to/
