Comment on From F-Droid to emulators, here's who's hit hardest by Android's new verification rules
mrbutterscotch@feddit.org 1 day agoI also use /e/OS. I’m not to versed in these things, but if I understand correctly from your comment, this decision by Google won’t directly affect us right? Only in the sense that it discourages developers to not support FOSS apps?

Yeah, it won’t affect you really. /e/OS is based off of AOSP and Lineage and the devs can just choose to keep it like it currently is. I haven’t really found a source for it but since theres like no official play store, and the lineage community would just patch out whatever google introduces (If this even reaches AOSP) I don’t think this will ever bother neither of us. The real threat comes from FOSS projects dying bc most Android users still use proprietary android

Alright, thanks for the confirmation! Yeah, hopefully this won’t affect FOSS projects too much…
