Hi, my name is Aury and this is my blog :3

As you read in the title: Android is not open anymore.

The first thing you might think is that the Android is open source because Google is your friend and love the idea of opening the source code of a whole operating system they made to fight with another big corporation. And yes, it is open source, but not because Google is your friend.

Sometimes ago I was reading some articles about Android 17 and most posts I’ve read were saying that Google will block .apk's installed outside Play Store from Google verified Android versions. Plus, you’ll still can download world wide .apk’s but only if the creator of that .apk is also verified by Google.

I think the point here is not security, Play Protect is so far not really secure. There is a lot of malware, spyware and much more occurrences coming from Play Store applications “verified” by the Play Protect. You should really not trust on what Google says to you.

This lack of freedom coming from Android isn’t a new thing, if you try to use AOSP, without GApps or modified versions of it, you will not be able to use your phone normally(at least as a primary device). Bank apps will not work, government craps will not work and a lot of stuffs will not work anymore. And you don’t even need to use a pure or a non-verified version of android to notice that, you just need to activate developer options to see some government apps and bank apps stop working.

Android is day after day more and more closed, more and more burocratic, more and more invasive and less and less private. I really don’t know what I can personally do about this except being sad. I’m really disappointed with what Google is doing with Android.

My honestly fuck you to Google.
