  mostly for endorsing it with your commentary; your position seems to be “we won, everybody drop your weapons and party, google is good again”

    I don’t know what weird-ass stawman you built, but it’s obviously not from anything I said

    your position seems to be “we won, everybody drop your weapons and party, google is good again”

    No?

    and you follow by bashing linux phones in your subsequent comments…

    “Bashing” Linux phones by saying they’re buggy and won’t be ready soon, which is literally true. Even PostMarketOS says the same thing on their website. I guess you’d prefer I gaslight people by saying Linux phones are awesome, let’s all switch to phones that barely work, lack any phone apps, have a terrible battery life, etc.

      I would’ve ditched Android for good if this went through

      This WILL go through, so here you are either deluded or in bad faith.

      while it sounds like it would be annoying for casual users to enable unverified apps, at least we can still install them.

      More delusion or bad faith, because you don’t even know HOW you’ll be able to do it, assuming you actually will.

      Would you thank god if Google gave you the chance to install any app you want by submitting your ID?

      Here we have more delusion or bad faith, because you DO NOT know HOW this will be implemented and could hypothetically even require users to submit their ID before being allowed to do what they want with their devices.
