What's the problem? Will work on all custom ROMs. This is an actual service by Google helping people upgrade their OS.
I have upgraded almost anybody in my circle of friends/family to a custom rom. They won't even notice that some changes will impact their means to communicate freely. The others that haven't switched yet know about it. Let's see how much pain they are willing tto take.
This is a general worning. By the way. Systemd Linux (Microsoft in disguise) got called out for a long time already. You need to be ready to ditch the big players like Ubuntu/Debian and Redhat/Fedora or run forks that exclude certain permissioning. Another thing is to only buy new hardware that supports an open source BIOS like Coreboot/Libreboot.

image Test Your Knowledge About Jesus & His Teachings With These 14 Questions: Jesus, peace be upon him, also replied to the devil who was trying to tempt him: Answer in the Bible: "Get thee behind me, Satan; for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shall you serve." Matthew 4:10 Read from the Last Testament (Quran) 4:48 God tells us in His Quran, "I do not forgive shirk (making partners with God in worship) but can Forgive anything less than this, He forgives whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Him in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin"
You just get the warning like every users of the app, no matter you will be affected or not (I mean directly). So this app will still work on your GrapheneOS device using third party store or direct apk install. The problem is not here, the problem is once only users with custom ROM and third party store will continue to use these app, it will come down to a fraction of the users and what will motivate the devs to continue support of these apps ? Many small open source app will die for lack of usage and this is affecting everyone indeed.
So its specifically dated in conjunction with all these age verify laws and you say this is normal? Its not a matter if it will work or not for me. This aint about me. Its about that this is in effect, and fuckers acting like its just fine. Fuck your excuses, fuck your apologetics. You reacting this way makes you part of the problem.
This warning - as it states - won't affect you. It's meant for people that run stock OS and install their apps from Playstore like 95% of the people. This message is for them. Many FOSS apps are creating awareness to shift sentiment. I applaude syncthing for joining the others (e.g. f-droid) before them.
I am not simping for the Feds. I am just stating the the Feds try to disrupt communication for plebs that do not run their own mobile os. It's bad. The answer is education. That's want syncthing is doing here. Later we will also fight for open hardware but we're not there yet.
Ok my apologies for that. Misunderstood ya. And yea its bad. Or is getting to that point. Aa for open hw, I dont see it happening to any scale that would make a difference. lm at about 2 decades in tech fab / manufacturing. The big players fail more than succeed in new products. Little start ups have a Kilamanjaro climb ahead of them. For example, Pine64 been trying hard AF, but they still got the same hw they did 5 yrs ago or so
Its bigget than being able to work around it, or that this may or may not affect me. Its that it happening at all. And what bothers me is those who can circumvent this shit dont care about how this affects those who cant. Nobody free from the #algorithmghetto until we all are free from it.
I do care. That's why I spent hundreds of hours to convince friends & fam to switch to custom os. This is war and this is just one battle that is fought with the right tools, not with your enemy's surveillance tech. The legal system is beyond corrupt. It's not at our service. It's already weaponised against us. That's why we go dark and you assist others do the same. You can not save anybody. Most are to intertwined with their oppressors ideology.
