O artigo destaca a fatia de 30% que o Google abocanha dos apps da Play Store. O dev paga um aluguel perpétuo pelo "box" dentro da "galeria". OBS: Uber não paga essa taxa e a Epic Games ganhou (na justiça) o direito de seu jogo (Fortnite) ser instalado fora da Play Store.
Pelo que entendi, a tese é a de que essa certificação seria uma forma de arrecadar nas duas pontas (li na documentação que o dev paga 25 dólares para se cadastrar).
No blog de desenvolvedores do Android, temos um "Brazil mentioned":
"In early discussions about this initiative, we've been encouraged by the supportive initial feedback we've received. In Brazil, the Brazilian Federation of Banks (FEBRABAN) sees it as a “significant advancement in protecting users and encouraging accountability.”
Engraçado: regular redes sociais, não querem... Já aquilo que lhes convém...
Já estava bem insatisfeito com o Sistema Android antes do anúncio sobre a "certificação" de apps fora da Play Store. E como acho que o esforço + risco de instalar uma custom ROM não compensam, passei a usar um dumbphone como aparelho primário. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

将谷歌从我的电子生活中踢走的 log 1/n
叠甲 1:如果你有和我不同的意见(大到公司的道德和开源的道德,小到技术细节和替代品是否好用),那你就是对的。我只记录这个过程,不会回应你的任何意见。
叠甲 2:如果你在非大陆生活,这将会是一个极其折腾过程,而且最终的用户体验也不一定会比使用谷歌服务好。如果你不爱折腾开源 App 和服务器之类的,或者无法忍受次等的用户体验,那这个过程大概率不适合你。
为什么:
谷歌将从 2026 年开始要求非 Play Store 的开发者认证身份,不然他们的 app 将无法在装有 Play Services 的 Android 手机上安装 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/08/google-will-block-sideloading-of-unverified-android-apps-starting-next-year/ 这个举措从应用层面上将绝大部分的 Android 设备变成了 iOS 一样的封闭花园。
本来对谷歌这个公司的观感就很差了,这个新闻则成为了压死骆驼的最后一根稻草。作为对于谷歌的抵制,我决定将它从我的电子生活中踢走。
原则:
减少或者消灭作为用户对于谷歌的数据贡献
在服务端,使用支持开放协议的服务
在客户端(特别是 Android),使用开源 App
以上原则均不强求。虽然恨谷歌,但如果折腾的程度影响到了生活,那还是以生活为重(预告:我说的就是 Google Maps)
这一期我替代了什么:
Gmail
替代品:
服务端的 Fastmail(预告:日历和联系人也是 Fastmail)
Android 端的 K-9 Mail
iOS/macOS 端的原生邮件 App
体验:
如果不心疼 Fastmail 的订阅费 + 可以忍受 Android 端的 K-9 Mail 比较古朴的设计,个人看来可以平替。
在服务端,Fastmail 在注册之后会有一个支持 Gmail 的导入向导。导入向导能把所有的历史 Gmail 邮件导入到 Fastmail 账号中(并且能搜索所有的 Gmail 历史邮件),而且能把新来的 Gmail 邮件同步到 Fastmail 账号中(并且以上功能均支持多个 Gmail 账号)。服务端目前唯一的缺陷是,个别服务的验证码邮件从 Gmail 转发到 Fastmail 的速度会慢几个小时,个人的补救措施则是检查 Gmail 网页端 + 短期内定期检查 Gmail 网页端有没有遗漏的新邮件 + 以后注册新服务一律使用 Fastmail(并且使用 1Password 和 Fastmail 联动的 Masked email 功能)
在 Android 端,K-9 Mail 的配置十分方便(通过 Fastmail 的 OAuth 登陆,不用手填邮件服务器的参数),而且 K-9 Mail 是一个在 GitHub 上的开源 App,可以从 GitHub(而不是 Play Store)上直接下载 apk 安装(个人推荐一个叫做 Obtainium 的 App,能很便捷地从 GitHub 上安装和更新开源的 Android App)
iOS/macOS 端的原生邮件 App 就没什么可说的了,配置和使用也十分方便(甚至可以直接下载配置文件安装,不用输入账户密码)
最后供上替代品们的链接:
Fastmail http://fastmail.com
K-9 Mail(之前被 Mozilla 收编变成了 Thunderbird Android) https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android
Obtainium(能从 GitHub 上安装和更新开源的 Android App 的 App,强烈推荐) https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium

Does anyone have good suggestions for cloud storage for photos?
Google Photos and iCloud are common suggestions, but closed-source, and I'd really rather avoid Google.
Would love any help. Thanks!
Great news for the wafrn app !!
As a culmination of the big journey of the past weeks, the Wafrn App is now listed in the official @unifiedpush documentation as one of the apps that support UnifiedPush
