Google is tightening control over Android under the guise of ‘security,’ but this crackdown on sideloading is a direct hit to digital sovereignty and FOSS. I’ve written about why this matters for our privacy and the future of open platforms. What do you think—is this the end of Android’s ‘open’ era?
SteamOS and Proton are kind of paving the way. It’ll be interesting to see if Steam Frame can take that further, especially on mobile/ARM, and shake up the usual players.
Well they are paving the way, but on PC’s… I’m talking about mobile phones and android :)
