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

Is this still going to happen? What can we do?

    De-Googled devices got screwed over by reCAPTCHA turning completely into DRM by mandating GMS. And this also affects Linux phones and desktops too, if you come across this new reCAPTCHA on desktop, you gotta get you Google Android or iOS device to scan the QR code to authenticate and pass the captcha, on your desktop, and Linux phones I assume are SOL completely.

      What are you talking about? I never see ReCAPTCHA on my degoogled android.

      Probably because my browser has JS disabled. Broken websites are broken websites. Yawn.
