Great real time BBB conversation today about the disturbing cryptic announcement by Google regarding the to the right to load your own packages on devices.
@conservancy's Denver Gingerich hosted and moderated the discussion, & @fdroidorg folks (including @eighthave, @marcprux, @seabass)
In the excitement, I exuberantly volunteered to lead a later session in October or November demoing end-to-end how #SFC procures used devices & installs #LineageOS and #FDroid on them.
Now I have more work. 😊
@bkuhn @conservancy @fdroidorg @eighthave @marcprux @seabass seeing how the EU hit Apple financially for disallowing third-party app stores… I would assume this is just Google testing the waters, and not be too worried about it.
@funkylab @bkuhn @conservancy @fdroidorg @marcprux @seabass perhaps, but Google is not just going to back down without being pushed. We need to get organized and push them back.
