Oh I don't know if mcdonald's specifically does this, I've never used the app, I just used it as an example because that's what the guy above was talking about as well.

Haven't played monster hunter, but the last of us looks great on pc.

Fortunately so far I haven't come across a bank here in the Netherlands that wouldn't work because my phone was rooted or because I'm running grapheneos. Hope it stays that way too.

It's the same system, it's all part of play integrity. And that also applies to this bullshit, why does McDonald's care if I didn't install their app from the play store?

Not a single app on my phone was installed through Google Play, it's all Aurora. Guess if apps really do this i'll just have to stop using them, cause I'm not installing the play store.

Same in the Netherlands, and I pretty much never see stray shopping trolleys anywhere around here. Seems to work really well.

There’s no indication that any of the apps were available through Google Play.

So it's just users installing untrusted apps to their phone?

scour infected phones for text messages, contacts, and all stored images

They also can't do that without the user explicitly giving the app permission to do those things, unless they found an exploit or something, but the article doesn't say that.

Also, why would you have images with passwords in them on your phone anyway?

People really should know better nowadays than to do any of this shit. Every step here is preventable by the user just thinking about what they're really doing.

They did credit Paradox, found the image here:

Which makes it even weirder, it's not even ai generated.

Ngl i think I'd prefer just entering a password once manually over Google doing some magic bullshit to make it work across devides.

I usually put them in /media, so my games drive for example lives in /media/games.

Seems to mostly fit with the usual external media that gets mounted there.

Can you do that yet without your instance just entirely defederating?

Nice, that looks promising! I'll have to look into it a bit more.
