The more I watch these videos, the more I know my next phone is a Fairphone. I discovered Fairphone because of /e/OS, as I was looking for something to de-Google and regain some privacy, but the more I hear about the other reasons, the more it makes sense. youtu.be/URfBhT0n888?...

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

You bought an Android phone because Google told you it was open. Google is now retroactively rewriting that deal on hardware you already own. After the update lands, you can only run software that Google has pre-approved. On your phone: your property, that you paid for. keepandroidopen.org/en/
