Das ich soll.
idk, maybe the app wants to check if it runs on normal phone hardware, not some reverse engineering virtualization? Or something like: if the OS is verified and unrooted, no secrets get out?
Funny thing is I can use banking grapheneOS phone and the main Health insurance app, but not the Health Insurance TeleDoc-App. Personally I think apps that need GSM or at least be officially google boot verified are apps made by lazy morons, but that’s just a guess.
Quite a comfortable way to do this is with grapheneOS. That really gives you a choice. Can’t say much about each and every app, how they run. Although most of my usage hasn’t changed much with grapheneOS as I changed from gsm-free custom ROMs. Works quite good with a nextcloud.
Afaik this is possible, but the banking apps don’t like rooting either. No achievement there.
The butter really has a tray, yes. But in the fridge it sits in the dark even more, for all it sees is the ceramic lid on top.
Still, in our world and with the available knowledge and technical possibilities it’s so easy to manipulate the masses. Blaming individuals for any structural problems and systemic issues is shifting the blame from the real culprits to the comparatively weak individuals whose main fault is looking for an uncomplicated life in a increasingly complex world.
Why not instead blame a system that is fixed on exploiting any and all resources possible (incl. bodily and mental health} to make more money every year (myth of endless growth) or at least greedy companies misusing their influence.
For my part I don’t believe in capitalism, but I think some effective regulation especially of multinational companies might also do the trick, as long as the concentration of money is reduced.
I partly disagree. I think we are already past the point where people were able to change the world by fiscal choices. The answer is already there: the money people own grows slowly if even in some countries, the money circulating altogether grows somewhat steeper thanks to inflation and (war cost) depts, making peoples choice less and less effective and able to change a fuckingthing. I won’t cease trying to find a way though, just to make it a whiney bit more costly to get to me xD Heads up!
Apps check if Google says this device is stock and original. Booting alternative OSes is allowed but frowned upon. And of course doesn’t get a Google approval signature. Something like that. Basically programmers not wanting to make the checking themselves and relying on Google to tell them what devices are “secure”.
