       Google has become everything it once pretended to disdain -- an arrogant, sleazy, control-freak monopolist. Its latest anti-user, anti-competition move will shut down the alternative app marketplaces that Google used to show off as "we're not like Apple" evidence. https://thenewstack.io/f-droid-says-googles-android-developer-verification-plan-is-an-existential-threat-to-alternative-app-stores/

       @dangillmor i'd have no problem just using it as a phone. small screens suck in general. pictures would make me buy another camera, which i want anyway.

       @dangillmor We REALLY need phones that use F-droid (and similar), don't cost too much, and are completely de-Googled.

       @dangillmor I have high hopes for the Graphene / Motorola deal. F-Droid will be a key piece to that puzzle.

       @dangillmor so how will this impact people with open source OS that don't even have google play store on their phone at all?
