Comment on Google settles with Epic Games, drops its Play Store commissions to 20%

they talk about alternative stores as well but fail to do a great reporting on the issue … a alternative appstore that need’s google approve it’s simply not a real alternative.
From keepandroidopen.org In August 2025, Google announced ↗ that as of September 2026, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google. This registration will involve:
- Paying a fee to Google
- Agreeing to Google’s Terms and Conditions
- Providing government identification
- Uploading evidence of the developer’s private signing key
- Listing all current and future application identifiers

Good news is GrapheneOS is planned to be available on Motorola phones. Probably time to leave Google and Microsoft behind.

Ever since Samsung locked my bootloader in a surreptitious update, I’m eager to jump ship.

NGL I was excited to hear the news of official GrapheneOS devices coming, hopefully they won’t just be their flagship devices but the whole product stack.

Thanks so much my bank is supported! I just wish my device was too. I’ll probably get one that supports it because I really want to move away from google
