What is the future of Google Play Intergrity APIs (and similar concepts)? Do you think we can find a way to bypass these, or is the future of the digital world just authoritarian and dystopian? (sh.itjust.works)

This might be a hot take but the best way to avoid or "bypass" onerous things like the "integrity API" is to opt out of the proprietary world as much as possible. Use exclusively free (Libre) software and technology where you can.

We should not be thinking in terms of how do we get proprietary crapware onto our free systems, because that defeats the purpose of a free system. The idea is to build an alternative to the proprietary world.
