This is it, what they’ve been wanting all along. You will no longer be able to access vast swathes of the internet unless you have a Google approved device, that is a Google-certified Android device with Google Play Services (aka Google Play Spyware) or an app on iOS. Use GrapheneOS or a Linux phone? No internet for you.

What I’d like to know is, what if you’re already accessing a site from your phone? And what if you genuinely don’t have another device? I’m assuming the answer to the second is you’re SOL.

Finally, repository specific access tokens were added! I was missing this feature from GitHub (fine-grained access tokens) and had resorted to making service accounts that had access to a single repo. Time to clean that up :)

Maybe people don’t care but some do. I am sure I am not alone in caring. I believe every user should have the right to know what is running on their system and where it came from. What they choose to do with that information is up to them.
