Comment on From F-Droid to emulators, here's who's hit hardest by Android's new verification rules
Zedstrian@sopuli.xyz 4 days agoEvery APK installation from outside of the Play Store gives an installation warning. It’s unnecessary and deliberately trying to make such installations seem less secure in comparison.
A more useful warning would be for the many privacy risks in installing apps from the Play Store instead of privacy-respecting alternatives from F-Droid.

Man the custom ROM life just reinforces my idea that stock Android is a fucking nightmare. I use Graphene and it just asks, “Hey, do you want to install this app (+ without network access?” Yes? Neat, it’s on your phone now. The literal only roadblock is enabling installs from non-appstore apps like browser or files, which makes sense. No fear mongering, no developer mode, no wait a day to do it.
