> only ask for permissions once you actually need them

Hard on Android, where "did my wifi go away" means asking "can I have access to your phone's internal state including call logs and if you're in a call right now?"

> replace interactive embeds with a dumb replacement

Sucks when you depend on that content or the content has to be interactive under the TOS of the service you're using.

Not at all. In many a corporate network as well as situations where you're paying for transit (e.g. AWS) they still make sense.

> build websites like we used to in the early 2000s

Ah yes with Flash for our interactivity, __Just throw an executable format that has a hard to render, proprietary ISA running unsupervised__, that worked for us then it should work fine today?

I'd say "Let's build more websites like we did in 2010". That's right around when Javascript peaked.

due to their licensing change, a lot of legal departments have banned minio.

But Android itself is also threatened... (Unless maybe if you're running a Google-free version of AOSP ?)

Google is clearly a company that is in dire straits in the EU, both from its business model that relies so much on tracking people across the Internet, and from its ties to the US intelligence agencies.

As for the apps available on Google Play...
