Google's proposed workaround for installing unverified apps: 9 steps, a 24-hour wait, delivered through Play Services (which Google can change at any time without consent). It exists only as a blog post. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org

Keep Android Open

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

As a dastardly online leftist it is my duty to remind you that America has always been the villain and that all presidents are evil murderers but Trump is the single vilest piece of shit human we have ever produced.

every day I get up and spend time with my beautiful wife and my adorable kids and my friends and the people who live in my phone and I see so much of the good in humanity and I wish some of it, any of it, would rub off on the people running the world we are so much better than this

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

“Undeterred, Marocco and DOGE threatened a security guard with a lawsuit and told the building’s property manager that they would bring in U.S. Marshals and the Secret Service unless they were given access to USADF. Their threats were unsuccessful.”

JUST IN: The head of the US African Development Foundation is suing Peter Marocco and DOGE — and he is describing in detail the standoff in which he blocked DOGE from entering the agency's offices. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Most Android OEMs have early access as Google partners. Google's security team wanted to get us partner access but their business team vetoed it and has unreasonable, essentially unobtainable requirements for getting it. We need an OEM to work with us and it would help us a lot.

Set up a recurring donation to ProPublica (they don’t do subscriptions), subscribe to FlamingHydra and Defector, and find some independent journalists that cover a beat you care about and subscribe to their newsletter/website/whatever

"One thing I would recommend is if you’re going to cancel your subscription to the Washington Post, don’t entirely remove those dollars from the news space. Take that money and at least invest it in an organization or a publication that you think is aligned with your values."

I'm sure very few people know about this. Inmates in 43 states are charged a per diem cost for "room and board" ranging between $40 to hundreds of dollars. In some states you owe for every day of your original sentence EVEN IF YOU GET OUT EARLY. www.welcometohellworld.com/there-is-no-...

In some cases this can add up to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees, as it did for a woman named Shelby Hoffman. Originally sentenced to seven years, she served only ten months before being released. A couple years later while applying for a job and jumping through the typical hoops that a formerly incarcerated person has to do as a matter of course, she found out she still owed $127,750. "I felt so tricked and so fooled," Hoffman said. "There is no ladder with them. There is nothing that you can do. Apparently. That will ever truly allow you to be a second chance anything. There isn’t. And they make sure of it.” Obviously this is not really about reimbursing the state for your stay in Hotel Hell, it's also, as so many things in this country are, about creating and entrapping people in a permanent underclass from which there is little hope of escape. Saddling people, and yes usually a certain kind of people, who have served their time, with crippling debt so that they'll be forced into accepting worse working conditions forever. Or end up back in prison again where the state can further profit off of their bodies. As an added bonus, those that cannot pay the fees have also not technically completed the terms of their sentence and therefore cannot have their voting rights restored.

This Pennsylvania county stopped charging people 'lodging fees' for the time they spent in jail. Then commissioners voted to forgive over $65 million in these fees. “What a light of hope this has been,” said one woman whose son owed $17,000. boltsmag.org/jail-de...
