You can install Google Play Services as a sandboxed app on GrapheneOS. That’s not the issue. I believe the issue is that Google will use hardware attestation to check if the OS you’re running it on is Google-approved.
So, is there any information besides a screenshot?
eww recaptcha,spyware piece of shit.
Sites need to stop using recaptcha. It’s an unnecessary barrier to using a site and I often refuse out of principle.
Most of the time, my phone’s browser is disabled. It keeps me from using my phone too much. I understand not everyone is in a position where they can do that though.
Which websites does this actually affect? I use GrapheneOS and I’ve yet to be affected by this, granted I don’t use many mainstream services.
I doubt OP cares, but I use GrapheneOS with Google Play services. It’s still better than regular Android. Don’t give up because you can’t get 100%
I would imagine that having a full control of the underlaying system would allow a wrapper to be developed for the Play Services, so it would not to be able to spy on you so well. Just feeding some partially spoofed data to it, or even whitelist it to work only with the apps that require it.
That’s exactly what the GraphendOS project did. IF you choose to install Google’s bullshit, which I did to use Maps and such, they run in a wrapper that makes them usable without the level of system access they typically require.
how is ubuntu touch or kde touch going? when i switch to my next phone Android might be a no go
ubuntu touch works well but there’s almost no apps for it. there’s not even firefox
All these captchas just make me evaluate effort vs need. Facebook throws a captcha every time because I log in from a private window. Before it just gave me a warning unrelated to my interests. I mostly use facebook for work, and those sweet lawnmowing videos. If they keep it up I will only log in for work.
I wont visit a website if they require my identity. Other options out there.
Most goonings sites don’t use recaptcha
Need to break up these monopolies. Really the root of all bad about capitalism.
The “root of bad” is capitalism itself, the logic of the system tends to create monopolies over time, as demonstrated in the game ‘Monopoly’
It’s the love of money that’s the root of all evil, according to Jesus, but yeah, that’s the driving force behind capitalism.
Regulations used to exist to break that that behavior. But they were either removed over time or not enforced. It can be done. It used to be. It wasn’t flawless but it wasn’t what we have today either.
Everything is possible. Some things just highly unlikely in the current political climate. I think the mamdani method of doing a shitload of door to door campaigning has been really successful in other parts of the world as well.
It can give a huge boost to leftist parties which then will be able to affect positive change but also change the political landscape. Overton window and all that.
What I’m saying is get the fuck out with your local leftist party/candidate or whatever if you can.
Capitalism is fine small scale, most systems are. Humans are just wired for efficiency and so with every player on the same board the most ruthless player wins.
Ah yes, the mythical small business capitalism we all hear about. I will agree it sounds good on paper and also seems to distribute money in a somewhat efficient manner.
Unfortunately there has never been a government able to regulate and keep capitalism this way. Other people have said it is simply not possible due to the nature of capitalism.
I think there is a worthwhile debate here around systems and culture. Perhaps capitalism could work if people were not inherently so greedy. I tend to believe that culture is the deciding factor which is a little disheartening honestly.
It’s not just culture. Most people value community and the well-being of others above amassing wealth (provided their needs are met). The problem is that capitalism indoctrinates us against those values, and even more that it rewards and empowers those who don’t share them at all.
There’s no small scale capitalism as the Capital needs to expand more and more. Political Economy 101.
Capitalism does not work because companies will always seek to grow more and more and more. It’s the core of capitalism. You need anti-capitalist policies to keep companies small.
Break up the billionaires while you’re at it. Their sickness will boil the seas away to nothing
Google reducing traffic for websites worldwide.
Last bit of traffic they still get from humans instead of AI
This is just ID verification in another guise. The second I see one of these, I’ll stop using the website I see it on.
To anyone not switching because of this-- in my experience this is something I can work around. On most websites my captchas still work. I have had a few that dont work, and I just close the website and move on. It hasn’t happened on any websites that are very important for me to visit. Usually its a store and they really me to install their stupid app. Nope.
I guess many ppl don’t even have an important website
That’s a raid!
Stand your ground.
