As a retired couple, we are working to reduce our expenses, not increase them. Essential living costs, such as electricity, should not rise simply because of a business decision to expand or improve capabilities. These types of costs should not be passed on to customers, particularly those living on fixed or limited incomes. We respectfully ask that you consider adjusting the rates so they are fair and not punitive to customers.
Michele supported: Audit and refund Duke Energy customers in NC/SCI am voicing my concern about the rate hikes from Duke Energy. I am elderly & on a fixed income, and the recent utility hikes are squeezing my budget to a breaking point. Please do not allow AI centers to function off of the citizens backs and pocketbooks.
Elaine supported: Audit and refund Duke Energy customers in NC/SCAndroid giving users choice has been the staple point of android OS.
Removing choices like sideloading apps is not the move.
I develop apps for myself, I do not want to be "an approved developer" I don't have time nor care for that.
This action also is the beginning of censorship, and monopolization of android OS. Android started as an open operating system, you have simply turned it into a reskinned Apple OS. Your choice to go anti-consumer is going to hurt. You are not "protecting" anyone
Seth supported: Stop Google from limiting APK file usageAs a regular user and a small developer, I find this measure deeply concerning. When I choose to buy an Android phone, it is with the expectation of having control over how I use it, not to face restrictions or censorship.
Tools like Knox and Play Integrity are already frustrating enough, and now it seems that even downloading applications from F-Droid or other nice Stores should be checked ?!
This undermines both user freedom and the open spirit that originally defined Android.
We have ( well we have to take it back) the right to create, modify, and use apps—and to communicate online—without being forced to give up anonymity. It is up to users to educate themselves about potential risks, not for GAFAM to decide on our behalf.
naknak supported: Stop Google from limiting APK file usageAndroid has always been about freedom. I've always loved side loading an app made by a line developer to complete a niche task/feature. My music player and compass app were side loaded from F Droid and I think it's super cool to be able to install custom versions of stock phone apps. I've side loaded a modded version of my camera app that brought Google Pixel's photosphere to my phone. How else would I have been able to do this without side loading?? There's no reason Android has to go this direction, it may just as well be called mock iOS if all the reasons I chose Android are taken away. May customization, freedom of how I use my phone, and innovation reign once again in the heart of Google's Android! PLEASE 🙏
