Is Google going to make Android a nightmare? (arachnoid.com)

The discussion I stumbled upon, about this SSH app for Android, is really worrying. Will Google really manage to make it impossible to root your phone?

But there's more to this, it's more complicated. In the Big Picture, Google has every incentive to make these changes — they lead to more security, and they're aligned with Google's corporate goals as well.

When talking to users, Google will emphasize control over hackers.

When talking to stockholders, Google will emphasize control over users.

Edit: I disagree with "they lead to more security". That's not "security", let's not turn words upside-down.

Tell me what module will allow me to pass CTS on a stock ROM, I can't find fuck all - the most I can find is mods to pass basic Attestation, and "disable" CTS - the problem is that SafteyNet, for phones that are known to have a working CTS, will fail if CTS is disabled - to this day I have 2 apps that I can no longer use as they require CTS.

If you can tell me any app, short of a custom ROM that I can use to bypass this behaviour, it will make me incredibly happy.

(google wallet, which Idgaf about, but also this other app that allows me to block companies from checking my credit score)

It should work. Flashed this on more than 10 devices stock/custom and it not working only on shitsung Galaxy a13.

My current setup is lineageos with magisk (magisk delta fork) and microg also installed as module and i pass safetynet without a problem.

edit: fuck g00gle
