Starting September 2026, Google will block any Android app whose developer hasn't registered and provided government ID. This affects all apps, not just Play Store apps. F-Droid calls it an "existential threat." @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org

When supporters boasted about how gentle the scrub jays are, pointing out that they will eat peanuts right out of your hand, Hammer scoffed.

“Begging for food isn’t sweet,” Hammer sneered. “It’s lazy and it’s a welfare mentality.”
