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.
Christmas Tree@tolmasky I've always understood the term "sideloading" to mean "transferring from computer to phone". Specifically in contrast to uploading/downloading which involve the Internet.
Ironically Apple's new "alternate app stores" policy STILL don't allow sideloading! So I'm still not using the term.
