Well, the phone should keep my own needs above everything else, and no app maker should hamstring me on MY OWN phone. Somehow I have the feeling certain phone makers are sitting on the horse backwards.
- josephcsible 2y agoI agree with you. I don't want app developers to stop me from being able to screenshot whatever I want on my own phone. I just don't know what to do about it.
- fsflover 2y agoSwitch to GNU/Linux phones. Works for me.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 2y agoWell, if you're willing to do that, you could just say "don't use such apps then"... which isn't helpful if it's for your bank, or your government...
- fsflover 2y agoMost apps work with Waydroid. If somebody forces you into the duopoly, you should start complaining and switch banks...
- throwaway48540 2y agoWhere do I complain about the EU regulation that caused the banks to implement this requirement? Should I switch continents?
- fsflover 2y agoHow about https://edri.org https://edri.org?
- Dylan16807 2y ago> Most apps work with Waydroid Does that include any of the apps that block screenshots? If not, this again becomes a more complex version of "don't use such apps".
- fsflover 2y agoI never tried them so can't tell.
- josephcsible 2y agoThere are too many apps tied to some real-world thing that only support iOS and Android. Consider banking apps for mobile check deposit, or apps that let you remote start your car. And even if you were willing to go without those conveniences, consider the SeatGeek app. I've been to shows where the only way to get tickets was with that app - there was no paper option and no Web option. And even though emulators like Waydroid exist, a lot of those kinds of apps implement things like SafetyNet or Play Integrity, basically to intentionally refuse to work in any environment not officially blessed by Google.
