Weirdly no news yet on the rumoured FaceID that was supposedly launching with the 11 series.

This Doomsday Draconian Demise of Android that everyone on Lemmy has been screaming about sure looks like it’s turning out to be one big nothingburger and just another minor annoyance that power users need to step through once in their life.

What will the Graphene pushers move to next? I predict the age verification stuff.

Call me when you’re older than 20 and realise how silly you sound.

the clutches of Google

Please reread the first three words of my previous message.

Respectfully, grow up.

It’s a one-time action, and it’s a necessity because humans are dumb and have allowed scammers to guide them through installing dodgy APKs.

We are globally asking for regulators to regulate big tech and this whole verification thing was Google’s attempt to quell that storm. Obviously the original plans weren’t acceptable but this really doesn’t seem like that big of a deal anymore, now that they’ve compromised.

I really don’t see the issue here that power users need to tap a few buttons and wait 24 hours once for each device. You don’t even need to leave developer options enabled, and you’ve still got ADB installation options if you urgently need an APK installed and you hadn’t previously gone through this flow.

The comparison to bootloaders is also a stretch. People in this Lemmy community are so quick to enflame and enrage themselves, it’s worse than Reddit…
