Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users
gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world 1 week agoThey’re already developing the apps for the 1% of us not just using proprietary apps from the play store. I don’t think this just kills open source app development.

That’s not who we’re talking about. We’re talking about the 0.1% who have custom ROMs.
It won’t kill it completely but it will severely hurt it. Apps like Syncthing have already discontinued development due to Google shenanigans + lack of users. That’ll only get worse as the userbase shrinks.
