Doesn’t that seem a bit farfetched? You don’t want to support it, fine. You rather trust the whims of Google than these companies, fine. I don’t believe these apps will magically require this and drop the existing support.
The fact is Google could also go out to of their way to require a version of this that will block these apps from running on your OS.
Perhaps it’s time to bury the axe?

It’s obvious to me that GOS is not really about de-googling, but rather to harden the security of Android.
Curve requires google play services. If that is where the GOS is comfortable it’s not an issue to me. However, we still need alternatives w/o GP.
Where I find it a bit discomfortable is the constant accusations that others are scammers/lying.

Do you have recent proof they are collaborating with Russia?
Anything you would like to add to this @npub1xrs…qupw ?

ok, but what about other operating systems such as SailfishOS? https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/unified-attestation/28249/9 Security asside (I get that GOS is more secure).But this may open up payment apps support for alternative systems. Are there other alternatives to UA there?

I still think it’s an issue that google play services is required for this to work. We need an alternative to this.

So what are the alternatives? Sandboxed google? Not having banking apps? Not having alternative payment apps?
The issue is that banks are required to have this attestation by credit card companies.

This reminds me. Where can you buy the 初心者 🔰mark? I should probably tack it on as it will be the first time driving on the opposite side of the road. 😅

Let me get this straight. You're saying AfD should not get banned because it's similar to PiS? You know, the party that spread propaganda on TVP and criminalized abortions. The party that in a near trump-style did not want to admit they lost the Sejm? Yeah, no, PiS is actually better than AfD. But the bar is very low.
AfD is a russian shill supported by social media propaganda.
