Now, Google wants to kill it.<br/><br/>Under the guise of &#34;security&#34;, Google is forcing devs to register, pay, and surrender control. F-Droid can’t comply without betraying its principles. Thousands of apps could vanish overnight.<br/><br/>Fight back: demand sideloading rights, pressure regulators/Parliament, and defend one of the safe harbors for ethical tech.<br/><br/><a href="https://f-droid.org/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html">https://f-droid.org/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html</a><br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1s3unnaer4uvdmh4nre9z5jcsy75y5apsqdvcnl4a2cgsxx9kt68s37fcs2" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Marc Prud'hommeaux</span> (<span class="italic">npub1s3u…fcs2</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1mtrk3vl7546q9c4lf0k62nkaypanv6t95gyh32f5jp63ffalu98s4mtrt0" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>F-Droid</span> (<span class="italic">npub1mtr…trt0</span>)</a></span> 2025-09-29T18:29:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsts6uuqyw387207wwm3vvrmct92z8ry3jq2svrfae9tld35a8ahpszyzv2g05kv00as8t2h6e08n8aerltzywc3lk68mpx5cpld2wj65ad7gyyjfg Mr. Doctorow&#39;s latest book lays out the AI bubble&#39;s inevitable pop.
