zaire the bored genderfucka reminder that the language you use matters and "sideloading" is a term made up by the enemy
it's called installing software

90s Install the Computer Program
00s Install the Application
10s Install the App
20s Get the App
"They simplified the terms to accommodate their corporate ideals"
"They made up words to separate their "good" from our "bad""
- "Advanced development features" such as "sideloading" unverified external software.
1. It's not an "Advanced feature", we have been able to install software on devices since the beginning of the computers. We are doing it every day.
2. Sideloading: There is no "side", you make it sound like there is a side of "good" and "bad" apps. Also it's not "loading" we are installing them just like any other app.
3. "Unverified": Who cares whatever you "verify" or not. Software is software. When you try to run uncertified software on Windows or Mac it runs without a problem. Why should this be any different?
4. "External": External to what? To you? To the phone? You are not my phone, you are not my friend, you are a multimillion dollar company. You don't get to decide what I put on my phone.
Li ~ Crystal System@soop @meluzzy @tauon on windows the answer is the CA store, which you can actually add your own stuff into or remove anything, its convoluted but possible, these days; that option is seemingly missing and im expected to trust whatever appointed ""authority figure"" they give me, on what softeare i can run in general,
authorities not be abusive challenge ! (impossible)

This is why #IRC & #XMPP outlived #ICQ & #Skype and why #Mumble & #JitsiMeet will outlive #discord & #GoogleMeet!
Jupiter Rowland@Kevin Karhan :verified: Anything will outlive Google products that have nothing to do with search, mail, maps, Android and advertisement. (Google+? Picasa? Google Talk? Google Reader? Google Hangouts?) Even Gmail and Google Maps only survive because they've become so ubiquitous that people think e-mail and online maps are Google products.

@jupiter_rowland granted both #GMail and #GoogleMaps make profit via commercial offerings (#GoogleWorkspace & paywalled #API access respectably)…
heredosI made my sibling use organinc/comaps, and slowly but steadily, our entire friend group started using it.
First because they wanted to save data, then because it listed all the nearby benches, water taps and public toilets.
But in the end, i am confident in making the degoogle their lives
pruning the apples will be a lot harder but i have time.
