  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Ok this sucks, but there is something that seems to be not implied. Wait one day, then confirm with biometrics, then decide if you want this only this time, or 1 week, or forever. You have to only deal with this one time if you choose forever (as long as you don't reinstall, I assume).

This is by no means ideal, but I think I'm ok with this. In a way I believe the rhetoric they are framing, to protect the vulnerable populace (e.g. the elderly) from frauds. For your phone, you can get the hurdle over one time, if you are installing for your parent you can do "don't ask me for a week, or ask me again everytime", so they don't install something malicious as part of a guided "tech support". Not saying that will prevent all and any spams but it will add some barrier. Just my opinion though, I could be off base with this.

I do wish that 1 day waiting was a bit shorter.

This would mean something if the old people google is pretending to give a shit about couldn't already download all sorts of scammy shit from google's official store.

[–] jojowakaki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yes exactly.

The same with "oh we need the app creator/publisher to register so people don't submit random shitty apps". <looks at google's play store populated with bunch of random shitty, scammy apps>

With these steps, you might as well unlock your bootloader. WTF.

Or, just use ADB and be done with it.
