Google's plan to block unverified apps is a 'rug pull' on the 3 billion people who chose Android for its openness. Don't let them turn your phone into a walled garden. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org

Keep Android Open
Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

I have had to remove a few FB comments from people who demanded to know why Aliya Rahman, the autistic woman who was pulled from her car by ICE in Minneapolis, didn’t “just follow instructions.” These comments, unfortunately, reveal lack of understanding about being autistic. Here is why. 1/

We’re told the economy is fine because GDP keeps rising. But Canada’s growth is powered by rent extraction, not production. With household debt at 150% of GDP, the system expands only by charging more for what already exists. This isn’t a recovery—it’s a managed decline.
