It’s the technical term that defines the process of transferring files not from an external networked device - downloading - or to an external networked device - uploading - but between two local devices - sideloading.
It’s over two decades old, you downloaded an mp3 from napster, and then sideloaded it to your player.

Like "Jaywalking", suddenly, walking is no longer the norm, but the car is preferred. The victims are seen as perpetrators.

And "littering" is the "real" culprit why we all drawn in uneccesey plastic. We should blame consumers not the polluters.
Corporations do it all the time.

Yes, but littering used to be a legitimately big problem to. Like the hole in the ozone, now that it’s “solved”/ the norm for it to be getting better the focus should shift to other things.

For sure. That's why it worked so well. You take a valid problem and abuse it for your corporate gains.
