    Allow third-party app stores for Android, and let those app stores distribute all the same apps as are available in Google Play (app developers can opt out of this);

    Developers should definitely be able to pick with AppStores their apps are distributed in. This seems strange they can’t opt out.

    Pretty sure Fdroid doesn’t want PlayStore spyware apps.



  • The EU isn’t the US.

    Most countries in Europe have this idea of integration where the foreigner learns and adopts the language and culture of the country. You’ll see lots of discussions of “failed” integration of foreigners, especially in Germany.

    I think this is still a type of colonialism where they think there culture is better and the foreigner must change, rather than the other way around.

    I think the US is a bit better in this regard as there is this idea of a cultural mixing pot and foreigners aren’t expected to “integrate”.


  • At the moment there is no end-to-end encryption as part of RCS. Google created a proprietary add-on for their app. Apple is working with the standards committee to add end-to-end encryption.

    RCS on android has only two supported apps, one by Google and one by Samsung. Google is actively blocking phones with custom Roms from using their RCS app.

    Google also provides/hosts the RCS backend software used by most telecoms. They can host their own implementation, and most did at the start. But now a lot switched to Google to provide their RCS service.

    You can’t get around Big Tech spyware if you want to use RCS.
