Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users
jjlinux@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agoWhen you install a ‘.exe’ file in Windows, you don’t call it ‘sideloading’, you call it ‘downloading and installing’.
This is the exact same thing. I download from sites, F-Droid, Obtainium, etc., and install the software that is the file I downloaded. I’m effectively NOT side-anything.

You might call it that if 99% of software was installed from MS store.

0% of my android software is installed through Google Play. Then what?

I don’t even know what that’s supposed to mean. We’re not talking about you.

Wao, you’re so willingly and intentionally dense.
