  • Don’t get me wrong. I love Aurora store. I love what they do and I donated a couple all the counts that I no longer use to them. But that does not mean I believe that this move is correct at all in any way.

    Putting aside the extremely slippery slope of forcing Google to allow app stores on their store, You have actually rather significant security issues too because of the catalog.

    This means any app store that is now can now download the apps, patch them with great features or malicious features and serve them as legitimate.

    Security has already been such a massive headache because no matter what you do, you just can’t stop people from shooting themselves in the foot. But Android, that’s their target market and they need to do their best. And this is going to be such a massive issue. Now they did say individual apps can opt out but quite frankly I doubt many are going to unless their applications like banking apps which are almost definitely going to because attestation is extremely important for stuff like that.

    Pardon me if I said anything that doesn’t make sense, I am using Speech to text.


  • I don’t agree with this. Anybody can send a link right to the APK or even a QR code. The Epic Game Store could have a nice button right there that says install it and boom, you’re installed and off to the races. And unless you’re doing that Samsung bullshit, it’ll just work on the vast majority of devices after you click one pop-up box.

    I honestly don’t know anybody who couldn’t do that. Unless it is Samsung because Samsung does have that new bullshit.

    It’s one thing because you have to know about fdroid. You have to go explicitly look for fdroid, someone and so forth. But if you’re epic and you’re trying to push people to your game store, you’re going to have it right on your front page.


  • Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.

    what the fuck. I don’t like google, I run fully Foss, and only recently installed microG, but I don’t agree with this garbage.

    It’s easy enough to install any third party appstore. I don’t agree with this at all.
