Damaskox, in You can't uninstall this software without being forced to participate in their survey
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

I feel mostly indifferent about not being able to delete an app without providing feedback to the reason(s).

But to provide feedback to delete an app that was installed for you WITHOUT your knowledge…mate! Not okay!

intensely_human, in Is This Even Legal?

This is the sort of thing the law can’t keep up with. Markets do this better. I bet someone could make a “no ui bullshit” certification and then websites could display a little badge. Like LEED, but for websites and with regard to protecting the user’s sanity and trust.

intensely_human, in Oil draining over the hot exhaust? Sounds good guys, let's sign it off and start production!

Shouldn’t the process be like:

  • Build five
  • Drive them around as your own bikes for a while
  • Keep replacing the ones you’re using with the latest iteration

I mean, a lawyer’s gonna disallow that I’m pretty sure but that’s how we’d be designing new bikes at DaVinci Crater if I were over there. I’ll stay on the low sec roads, I know it needs major design certification before anyone can take it on the nice roads

luthis,

Should be, but prototyping and making one offs is expensive, maybe even 100x the cost of mass production per unit, so they will of course be looking to do the minimal amount possible

I just type in 30 space where it’s possible. Otherwise 30 ps

GrapheneOS is the real answer.

  • (open) play store
  • (tap) your profile picture
  • (open) Manage apps & device
  • (open) Google play protect
  • (tap) settings icon at the top
  • (disable) scan apps with play protect
  • congratulations, google will babysit us less than before
  • install kde connect again

Optional:

  • send a hate email to google support but do not abuse the employee reading it, because he is probably under pressure 25h a day by google

Not only did the same thing happen to me, now that I’ve disabled Play Protect and reinstalled it I’m having trouble getting it to re-pair with my PC. Thanks for fucking up my property, Google. 🖕

Where’s the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act when you need it?

LMAO I guess Graphene’s approach of removing google play’s system app status was a good thing

Why would anyone enable Google Play Protect? You want them combing through your personal data with the ability to delete anything they disagree with?

pedro,

I don’t think they waited on Google Play Protect to comb through your personal data

Google and Amazon need broken up. Change my mind.

CluckN,

If they break up Microsoft will buy them and force them to create Master Chief Funko Pops.

zepheriths,

That’s not all of them… Microsoft, apple, Samsung, Sony, all need it as well

pedro,

Samsung and Sony are not American companies, I don’t know if they have anti-trust laws in South Korea / Japan

zepheriths,

I don’t know the laws of America on that but Europe has sued Amazon for being a trust, there is already international president

Treczoks,

Add Apple, Microsoft, and Disney, and we are OK.

Imagine doing a business if Google one day start to hate you.

No listing on most popular and the only search engine that counts. Most popular browser gives a big red warning for your website. Even with different browser it won’t connect due to Google being the most popular DNS provider. No app on the only widely used app store on Android - the only OS phone manufactures use besides Apple. Your app is automatically uninstalled on >99% Android phones. Your calls gets blocked by Android spam detector. Your e-mails get blocked by Gmail. And besides that, Google would pumps all of your competition up.

That much power over the market is very dangerous and should not be legal.

520, in Chinese games downloaded from the AppGallery show ads at launch

You downloaded a F2P game for chinese audiences. What did you expect, exactly?

Great app!

Hilariously, Google Play Protect is one of the worst tools on Android at detecting malware and triggering false positives, and consistently scores poorly in independent tests like AV-Test and AV-Comparatives. You can find links to these tests on the AMTSO website.
