  I don’t give a shit about steps, I can follow steps. Nor do I give a shit about 24 hour cooldown when the flipside is having the phone completely neutered.

  And don’t get me wrong, I’m infuriated that they even considered it. In my opinion side loading is a basic phone feature and not having it is disabling.

  But… they’re not removing it, and they sure as fuck didn’t get away with it. They got immense backlash and now they’re listening to the community, as they should.

  This is an enormous win for the future of sideloading (which, let me remind you, almost just got killed on every Android phone) and I’m happy it’s living to see another day.

  Bro did you want them to ban it? A one-time 24 hour wait is literally nothing compared to having 0 viable phones on the market where you can sideload.

  Am I tripping? How is this not good news?

  I bought an Android specifically because iPhone doesn’t allow sideloading. If Android bans sideloading, there’s no viable options left until Linux phone develops to a usable state.

  The win is that they’re not banning sideloading, obviously. Personally I don’t gaf if I gotta wait 24 hours as long as you can do it.
