      @Doune @fdroidorg @marcprux The #Clippy is about buyers actually having ownership rights on things they buy (like e.g. #Android phone in this particular case) and fighting #enshittification and anti-consumer practices. See Right to Repair and https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Clippy_Campaign for details

          Do I understand correctly, that Google free Android is not directly affected by this policy?

          But the majority of the userbase is affected, so an app developer would loose nearly the complete userbase and this would result in many developers giving up, destroying the app market.

          And this in turn will affect Google free Android.

          Please elaborate, if I misunderstood!

              @m2c_n3e @Fynn @fdroidorg @marcprux You can check from https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/banking-apps-on-sailfish-os/18438/235 if your bank is listed. All my banks work, but that of course don't say anything about your bank

              Oh thanks for that link! That was my main concern as well. Glad to see my bank works. Though on the practical side I don't really want a new phone just yet 😞

                    @blackoverflow Yes, if you're tech-savvy you'll figure a good device to flash your favorite custom Android distro that favors user freedom.

                    But the other 3.9 billion stock users... they are at the mercy of Google, if you want to recommend them a good app from #FDroid they are blocked.

                      @fdroidorg @marcprux I hope you can win this, but is the trend. No more civil rights for us. The Fascist consortium is decided to impose Sigstore and such all around.
