It's finally happening, I'm signing up for a Google Play account. And holy heck it's awful. DUNS numbers, home address, registering the same emails and phone numbers multiple times. Gmail's new UI has more banners and widgets than ever, it's bewildering. Is this what getting old feels like?

It's spooky eh. What's privacy when its so etched in society to rid yourself of it.
privacy died long ago
For a fucking Play account? Lol Bananas.
No. This is what living in a dystopia feels like.
interesting. im more curious about the way. flotilla? coracle? another new app? 👀
why*
Flotilla, gotta enter the matrix to get the normies out
I truly believe that Flotilla could be really good for community builders and creators wishing to move away from Discord.
I like Ed Zitron's recent article. He covers this kind of enshitification in tech UI. It opened my mind quite a bit even though I'd already been noticing it.
Don't do it!
No, that’s what being data-rugged feels like.
No, it's what the slow death of the clearweb looks like.
Stay strong. You’re doing God’s work.
Yikes, didn't know all that. Storing a private key is so simple and worthwhile, let's go!
I tried for 3 or 4 months, every sim I tried didn't work. When it finally worked they added some random spaces at my LLC name and rejected verifying the account
After this I gave up of a play store release.
Apple worked but every day they asked for a new document, bagde, signature and it keeps going until I gave up too
App Store distribution is a nightmare...
