I understand the lack of desire to create a ready made ID database for Palantir but y’all need to look at yourselves and get with 2026

    That’s fair, but it’s asking a little much of users to start direct dowloading apks or whatever to get their leftist shitposting app and if I wanted to try that hard for anything but an adblocker it wouldn’t be an Android in the first place.

      you don’t need to be manually downloading apks. get a proper app store, like f-droid, and install jerboa that way.

      I don’t get it though. uploading apps to the play store has already required devs to prove their identity for quite a long time.

        The difference is, they want to remove side loading.

        That means all apps need to go through play store. No more f-droid on certified android devices. You need to be on play store, or your app is not installable.

      I mean, if you’re serious about ideology, you probably won’t mind taking a few extra steps for it. If the status quo pisses you off, why not do something that’s ultimately still free and only takes a little more time?

      OK you’re allowed to just not do that.

      The rest of us who are willing to put some effort in will likely not notice your absence.
