Future of free apps written for Android - Google is about to force developers to register and domestisize them.

According to Hans Steiner from F-droid the future path is free hardware with long life spans like Fairphone or Shiftphone and Android compatible OS' like Postmarket OS. Please watch this: https://opensourcesecurity.io/2026/2026-05-fdroid-hans-steiner/
It makes hope but I worry not being able to afford such hardware.

I hope, AAT will still be available without any Google Play Services. I deleted or stopped all Google shit on my Lenovo Tablet. Please do not surrender to Google! THX!

Agree. Google has become a shitshow of abusive and user-hostile practices. Every product of Google, unfortunately including Android. I wish there was a truly open source operating system for mobile phones, but there isn't. Maybe one day the pain inflicted by Google upon us is big enough to lead to such an alternative operating system, and then we take back control. Until then, I suppose AAT will be available on Android.
