There's admittedly some potential in there, like teaching them to analyse statistics and 'teaching critical thinking' whatever that implies.

Conspiracy theory belief however is emotional rather than rational. You cannot 'teach' people to not do it. I worry that they will condition kids to dismiss any news that deviates from official propaganda by just labelling them as conspiracies. And frankly with the UK being the police state that it is, that might just be the end goal.

The Play Integrity API was never meant to detect fraudulent apps, but to make it easy for google to become the arbiter of what's trustworthy and what's not. They knew this of course, but this lawsuit indicates they might have something solid to stand on. Good luck GrapheneOS!

Ladies and gents, this is what you get when an industry stops innovating. Moving search bars up and down, adding endless "summary" pages, obfuscating pages behind others etc

Walter:
You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.

The Dude:
Yeah, but Walter...

Walter:
Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish.

That does sound like a pretty good deal. The thing is, it used to be a fantastic deal. And judging by the way they are acquiring multi billion studios and IPs left and right it's clear as daylight that they want to monopolize the market and keep the subscription model for a long time, which means the deal will get ever worse. So yeah, this pricing change was definitely expected.

Didn't mean to diminish your experience, sorry.
