Francisco TolmaskyI really hate the term “side-loading.” We shouldn’t need a word for the normal way we’ve been installing apps for the past 40 years. If tomorrow Apple decided they were going to start only letting you visit web pages they approved of, we wouldn’t call some sort of alternating system that let you see *the rest of the fucking internet* “side-paging”. We’d instead call the whole thing bullshit.
rclyne02It is what it is.
Side loading is just installing apps without going through Google Play, or in this case I guess Apple.
I don't think the term existed in 1984 though, unless the 40 year thing is just sarcasm.
I feel you though. It is just an install, app store or not.
Just like I hate the term analog when referring to Tech before Digital. Like, it was not called that before? If it was I stand corrected. Sorry
