The European union is developing an age verification app for EU citizens which relies on Google for verifying the integrity of the app.

This means users who run a custom ROM (e.g #lineageos, #grapheneos) won't access some EU resources.

Read the complete explanation on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/s/yO3njXfX1x

So, now I’m getting treated differently just because I picked #GrapheneOS? In a so-called “free” world, I can’t even choose my own software without people lining up to judge me? That’s pathetic.

If my preferences make you so mad, that’s your problem, not mine. I refuse to let anyone shame me or push me around over my device choices.

Find something better to do than policing what other people use. I’m done listening to this hypocrisy.

А у кого был опыт установки Lineage os? Всё нормально прошло? Какие подводные камни?
#вопрос #lineageos

Mon Oneplus 6 (de 2020) commence à montrer quelques signes de faiblesses. Je vais essayer de le pousser autant que possible mais si d'aventure il me lâche entre les pattes, je me prendrais bien un #Fairphone5 (que je préfère au 6).

Est-ce que l'un·e d'entre vous l'aurait sous #LineageOS sans Google et avec F-Droid ?

I think the so-called "Google Play Integrity API" is (one of) googles move to circumvent the DMA (EU Digigal Markets Act). Google simply tries to make key app developers, eg banks, public app providers, payment services, force users to have google play installed, where the DMA requires them to provide freedom of choice of app store.

GPIA basically deems android devices without google play services unsafe, as in "rooted".

In Denmark, it is rapidly becoming impossible to use banking and payment apps, in fact any app providing payment using credit cards, on android devices without google play.

Contact your parliament and eu representative and make them aware!
And please share!
