Thanks for your opinion. 😉

Was going to post the following link in new post, but will simply add the additional resource to this post instead:

This is great news for Oklahoma at a time when bad news seems to be the most pervasive.

This takes serious guts. Good for them.

This is horrifying. Poor guy. Poor fam. 😞

Solid ear-to-ear grin for this one. 😁

How likely is that this will happen, unchallenged?

I’ve honestly just been hoping it never happens, because I don’t actually have a plan to deal with it if it does…

I read this from Fdroid (https://f-droid.org/en/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html) and I also looked at the Google announcement here (https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/elevating-android-security.html?m=1)

Things are still murky to me. Google said the following:

To be clear, developers will have the same freedom to distribute their apps directly to users through sideloading or to use any app store they prefer. We believe this is how an open system should work—by preserving choice while enhancing security for everyone. Android continues to show that with the right design and security principles, open and secure can go hand in hand. For more details on the specific requirements, visit our website. We’ll share more information in the coming months.

Is the problem then that developers have to register? I see the downsides to this, but does it actually block side loading and using F-droid?

Always glad to see Israelis stand up to Trump and Netanyahu.

So many sexy, scantily clad rats.

My use of ‘all’ was a generalization, not literal. Historically, many people around the world did view the U.S. as a model and a place to aspire to, even as others rightly criticized its actions. My point is that the MAGA slogan claims to be trying restore (something like) that old image, yet their actions only deepen global resentment.

It would be great to see the US genuinely become a beacon of hope again (and atone for their sins), but I’m not holding my breath. Honestly, I’ve been cheering on other nations to fill that role. I’m not a US nationalist or patriot.
