"an experimental initiative that will let companies block users if they are running independent, "de-googled" versions of Android"

lol, that is quite alright... saving me the effort of figuring out what scumbags they are in a less convenient way. I don't want to be doing business with these people anyway.

Behold a party full of creeps and corrupt capitalists. YOU aren't allowed in!

Yeah man, that's why i went out of my way to not go to your stupid party to begin with.

Oh no, punish me by making me go outside and engage in my community. Oh nooooo less brain rot doomscrolling.

I was kinda disappointed that the article didn't offer any suggestions for how to "push back" on attestation being shoved down our throats.

I'm fully ready to push back (heck I don't have a choice, since my devices don't support this shit), however it's troublesome that most of the population doesn't care because pushing back is inconvenient. I think being a corporate & government slave is more inconvenient, but a lot of people can't connect the dots or see where society is going
