Questa storia di Google che vuole bloccare lo store di app open source F-Droid mi ricorda quanto sia fragile la libertà digitale

    There we go, part 2 of my «Google is killing the open web» series, still about the proxy war #Google is running by way of demolishing support for the best tech for indipedent, curated human websites. Yes, this is still aobut #XSLT, but it's more than that.Less history this time, but more opportunities to talk about control, and a dream about how browsers could have been designed to avoid this takeover.https://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/google-killing-open-web-2/#openWeb #indieWeb #XML

    In June, President Gabriel Boric announced that Microsoft’s hyperscale data center cluster would generate over 81,000 jobs. In reality: those projects would add only 909 permanent positions during the operational phase, which lasts about 30 years.

    I wonder how the current Epic Games v. Google court case factors in the new sideloading policies Google is signaling intent to enforce.Requiring all Android developers to go through them, including paying a fee, sure sounds like something that fails to comply with this:> the app-store-distribution remedy forbids Google from banning "third-party Android app distribution platforms or stores through the Google Play Store,” so that the same platforms can access Android smartphone users who are currently accustomed to downloading all their apps through the Play Store.I suppose you could argue e.g. F-Droid is not itself available in the Play Store, but the news around sideloading sure seem like Google creating another way to circumvent the court decision's intention to, as it continues, "allow other app stores to compete in this two-sided market by letting them offer the apps and reach the users on the Play Store platform".With the latest news[1], Google's next move should be appealing to the Supreme Court, and given its latest decisions I am not optimistic about that.[1]: https://courthousenews.com/ninth-circuit-upholds-fortnite-makers-antitrust-win-over-google/#Android #FDroid #Google

    Given the current development when it comes to trustworthiness of governments as well as (especially) big companies - how do you all handle the topic technology & privacy?Given you are using a banking app and/or other apps that won't work on a modified phone - which potential "evil” did you choose and why? (iOS, Android, something completely different)#apple #google #privacy #phoneReposts are welcome - thanks!
