Google Will Require Developer Verification For Android Apps Outside The Play Store
Google is tightening security measures around Android app distribution, the company announced on Monday. Starting next year, Google will begin to verify the identities of developers distributing their apps on Android devices, not just those who distribute via the Play Store. The changes will affect all certified Android devices once live, though the global rollout will be more gradual.
The tech giant stresses that this does not mean developers can’t distribute outside of the Play Store through other app stores or via sideloading — Android will remain open in that regard. However, developers who appreciated the anonymity of alternative distribution methods will no longer have that option. Google says this will help to cut down on bad actors who hide their identity to distribute malware, commit financial fraud, or steal users’ personal data.
According to its own survey, Google says that more than 50 times more malware came through internet-sideloaded sources compared with Google Play, where it has required developer verification since 2023.
Initially, Google will allow interested developers to sign up for early access starting in October 2025 to test the system and provide feedback. In March 2026, verification will go live for all developers. By September 2026, any app installed on an Android device in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand will have to meet the new requirements. Starting in 2027, the requirements will begin rolling out globally.
Developers will have to provide their legal name, address, email, and phone number, which could push independent developers to register as a business for their own privacy’s sake. Apple implemented a similar change for the EU App Store earlier this year to comply with the Digital Services Act (DSA), a regulation that now requires app developers to provide their “trader status” to submit new apps or app updates for distribution.
Google notes that student and hobbyist developers will be able to use a separate type of Android Developer Console account when this system rolls out, as their needs differ from commercial developers.
The changes could have a significant impact on the Android app ecosystem and app distribution, as Google works to cut down on the security issues and malware that have typically plagued its platform.

⚡️Why Your Word Document Never Migrates Correctly
In a new blog post, they call out Microsoft’s proprietary #OOXML format as bloated and intentionally over-complicated—more than 6,000 pages of specs compared to just 867 for the open document format (#ODF).
Why? To lock users into #Microsoft #Office and make it nearly impossible for open source alternatives to compete.
#LibreOffice says it’s time to break free from Microsoft’s ecosystem and embrace open standards.

Wow - we're actually winning. Google is scared, they're going to attempt to ban 'side-loaded' apps on all Android phones. Unless the developer hands over an ID.

⚡️Should We Pull Water from the Deep Sea?
Water shortages are pushing companies to look not inland—but deep into the sea. 🌊
A new technique called deep-sea desalination is gaining traction, with the first massive plant planned for 2026 off the coast of Norway.
Desalination isn’t new, but it comes with a cost. A 2018 study showed that 16,000 plants worldwide produced 95 million cubic meters of fresh water daily—but also 141 million cubic meters of toxic brine. That brine, filled with heavy metals and pollutants, gets dumped right back into the ocean.
Flotion, the company behind deep-sea desalination, says their approach could reduce these harms. But is this really a solution—or another industrial-scale problem?

⚡ The Hidden Harm of Cellular Radiation
Referencing the book Exposed by Bill Cadwallader, we break down the different types of cellular radiation your body may be absorbing every day—from WiFi and Bluetooth to 3G, 4G, and 5G signals.
Each type interacts with the body in unique ways, and long-term exposure has been linked to issues like inflammation, sleep disruption, fertility problems, and even increased cancer risk.
Understanding the sources is the first step toward protecting yourself.

🙏 Finding an #XMPP Server: The Easy Way
Read the full article on Substack
If you’ve been following the show you know I recommend XMPP as the only true decentralized messaging protocol.
Why?
- Anyone can run their own server
- XMPP is an open protocol, and most XMPP software is open source
- Registering is simple and free
- XMPP comes with great features such as end to end encrypted messaging, encrypted voice & video calls, file sharing, and more
Because XMPP is decentralized, different servers can choose to implement different features. This means picking the right server is important. This used to be difficult, but now a new effort by a team of XMPP community veterans solves this problem.

The XMPP Providers resource is a collaborative effort to collect and categorize XMPP providers based on their features.
