Sideloading… known as “installing” in places that aren’t corporate hellscapes.
@aral Yeah I hate that fucking term. It makes the gatekeeping “normal” and user freedom to install what you want on your devices as a weird or niche thing
@aral
Wouldn't have to do sideloading if multiple stores were supported

@aral

well I refuse to sideload any google product or app!

@aral Maybe we just need to revert to "Installing" for a normal standalone Apps/Programs with no trackers/leaks and use "Shitloading" for MS, Google, Apple and anything else that leaks your data.... 🙂
@aral @TheOneDoc well, to be honest I kinda give them credit for having to rescue noob users from themselves and their noobish decisions.
@alexantemachina @aral stop protecting idiots from the consequences of their actions. That's why the world is such a shit hole. Because dumb fucks think there opinions are facts and there actions have no consequences.
@aral me when i sideload home-cooked burritos into my belly instead of buying ones from taco bell
