I never realised that f-droid was compiling from source and assumed the app devs were providing compiled binaries and saying “trust me bro”. That was fine to me and I’ll still want a marketplace app that gives me access to foss apps so I hope they can find an acceptable compromise.

It will also kill any incentive to buy an android phone. Seriously fuck those people.

That calls for another question: would Google vet and mod content on other stores joining in? From their logic, installing apps from Epic Store is a sideloading too unless they themselves approve it, no? I hope that this act would be seen as a violation of a current decision, them going for a second round with EG.
