Este fue un golpe premonitorio...
Está tablet es del 2014 y hoy sigue viva gracias a Resurrection Remix, una ROM libre entre otras tantas que permiten liberar dispositivos de la obsolecencia programada. Se tiró de la mesa al enterarse del movimiento que Google planea para septiembre de este año (👉 keepandroidopen.org/es/ )... Si F-Droid queda bloqueado en ese 95% del mercado, el proyecto pierde masa crítica, financiación, contribuidores... y consecuentemente mantenedores 😡.

Die neueste Folge @rebootpolitics fällt in der Streikwoche etwas kürzer aus. Falls ihr euch gefragt habt, wer eigentlich bei uns so die Nachbearbeitung macht, das könnte im direkten Zusammenhang stehen (neben dem vorgezogenen Aufnahmetermin)^^'

Trotzdem haben wir auch in der neuen Folge wieder einige Themen für euch mitgebracht: #GEAS, die ÖR-Reform, die sächsische Polizeirechtsnovelle, leere Gasspeicher, #OpenAI, #Antrophic und das Pentagon, @keepandroidopen, #AfD-Gutachten und die Rückkehr des Feldhamsters.

My unprovable conspiracy theory about #Google and #KeepAndroidOpen is one word: #YouTube. I feel like the whole effort to lock down #Android is actually part of the campaign against Ad Blockers on YT. Locking down the system allows them to cut off apps like #NewPipe. It could also be that they want to fully go down the iOS / Apple route but something tells me YT money is part of it.

Curious why they included #China on this list of regulators to target #keepandroidopen

Do they not know that #Google #Play is blocked there, and that Chinese users rely on local apps stores and #Apple, which happily complies with any #CCP takedown order)

The only proof we need that our security and privacy tools work is the push for age verification and registered developers. The push for these laws and policies are nothing more than blatant attempts to turn every single hoster, developer, moderator, etc... into criminals for not making users easy to spy on by states or have data harvested from by corporations. It is also an attempt to deflect liability away from abuses on corporate platforms.
But the assholes pushing this shit forget something, the same people they are targeting hold up the entire internet. Go ahead and keep calling your politicians, but I think it is time to go further.
Sabotage.
Your labour and projects are yours. Your skills and abilities are yours. The same people threatening you rely on your projects. I propose we threaten back. Not only refuse to comply, but threaten to sabotage projects to prevent the people threatening you from using them.
The FLOSS world belongs to the people not the politicians or capitalists. They have no right to tell us what we shall must do. When they forget this we remind them with fire. This is a call for a #CyberRiot to remind them. Start with injecting warnings that they are forced to see, but have actions ready.

We need to massively #Degoogle fast! Or many of our beloved #FLOSS applications will stop working on certified #android phones, as many developpers will refuse the new conditions set up by #google , under the pretext of complying with #EU new #regulations for the protection of users. These terms will apply to any apps, even if they are made available on another store than #PlayStore, like @fdroidorg, or not.

Screenshot of NewPipe starting windows with the following message in French (English version below):
Keep Android open
En août 2025, Google a annoncé qu'à compter de septembre 2026, l'installation d'applications nécessiterait une vérification par le développeur pour toutes les applications Andrpid sur les appareils certifiés, y compris celles installées en dehors du Play Store. Les développeurs de NewPipe refusant cette exigence, NewPipe ne fonctionnera plus sur les appareils Android certifiés après cette date.

ENGLISH VERSION:
Google has announced that, starting in 2026/2027, all apps on certified Android devices will require the developer to submit personal identity details directly to Google.

Since the developers of this app do not agree to this requirement, this app will no longer work on certified Android devices after that time.

Also was ich momentan an News zu sehen bekomme, macht mich fassungslos:

🚨 Erst schließt Google Android für Open-Source-Apps, jetzt kontrolliert Microsoft die KI (Anthropic-Klage).

Beide folgen demselben Muster:
1. Plattform öffnen („Wir sind die Guten!“).
2. Nutzer:innen & Entwickler:innen abhängig machen.
3. **Zwang einführen** („Zahlt uns, oder verschwindet“).

Die EU schaut zu. **Wann hört das auf?**

37 Organisationen — darunter CCC, F-Droid, KDE, Nextcloud, Tor Project und EFF — haben Google in einem offenen Brief aufgefordert, die geplante Pflichtregistrierung für Android-Entwickler zurückzunehmen.

Besonders brisant: Punkt 4 des Briefes warnt, dass Google damit die Möglichkeit bekommt, jede App auf allen Android-Geräten weltweit zu sperren — ohne transparente Begründung, ohne Einspruchsmöglichkeit, per Knopfdruck. Eine einzige unkontrollierbare Konzernentscheidung als globaler App-Schalter. 🔴

Der Brief ist CC0 — frei teilbar:

Google sperrt ab September 2026 nicht-verifizierte Apps auf zertifizierten Android-Geräten aus. Das betrifft F-Droid, Sideloading – kurz: unsere Freiheit. ✊

One of the actions recommended by the #KeepAndroidOpen campaign is to;

"Provide feedback directly to Google using their Android developer verification requirements survey"

keepandroidopen.org/

They provide a link to that survey, and I've been meaning to make use of it for a while. Tonight I just used it to very politely tear Alphabet and their subsidiaries a new one. Here's what I wrote;

Wer experimentiert noch, wenn jeder Code-Snippet erst von Mountain View abgesegnet werden muss?
Nutzer verlieren die Kontrolle. Dein Gerät, Googles Regeln.
Das Perfide: Sie verkaufen es als "Sicherheit". Dabei geht es um Macht. Um 30% Provision. Um Zensur. Um die letzte Bastion gegen Apples Walled Garden einzureißen.
Was tun?

✅ Unterschreibt die Petition: keepandroidopen.org

✅ Wechselt zu F-Droid – solange es noch geht.

✅ Macht Druck: Beschwert euch bei Banken, Behörden, der EU (EC-DMA@ec.europa.eu).

✅ Supportet Alternativen wie CalyxOS oder GrapheneOS.
Ich nutze seit 30 Jahren freie Software, weil ich keinem Konzern die Hoheit über meine Tools überlassen will. Wenn Google das durchzieht, ist Android nicht besser als Windows oder iOS: Ein Gefängnis mit hübschen Gittern.

Zu guter Letzt…
Keep Android Open


➤ You, the consumer, purchased your Android device believing in Google’s promise that it was an open computing platform and that you could run whatever software you choose on it. Instead, as of September 2026, they will be non-consensually pushing an update to your operating system that irrevocably blocks this right and leaves you at the mercy of their judgement over what software you are permitted to trust.”
