TutaWe did it everyone! We forced Google not to be evil. 💪 🎉
Side-loading will be cumbersome, but it will remain possible.
Thanks everyone for speaking up against Google's plans! 🙏 ❤️

No, that's not "win"...

Guy Incognito@starvaldD @Tutanota There's a good video from @josh about this "win" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSUW3y4v_w4
It's great that there's a work around, but the steps to get the ability to install software are stupid.

NobleCookie@Tutanota we haven't won anything yet....
leberschnitzel@Tutanota that's bullshit. Going two steps back one step forward still makes you go backwards.
This has been a tactic for some time now: make outrageous changes, people complain, changes get rolled back to something that's still outrageous but less, and the complainers see it as a win.
We're incredibly past acceptable because of this.

Violet MadderThat's the whole game. The ratchet effect.
Viacheslav A@Tutanota not a win at all. It fails to achieve stated goal - scammer apps in appstore keep popping up, and this measure does not change it. It has very different intent.
Imagine you do add-apt-repository, and your machine screams that you might be in mortal danger and now you're on your own, then asks you to wait for 24h. That is what they did to android.

@Tutanota I don't feel we won. I will be able to install things on my phone, but it will make harder for me to recommend apps to people who are less tech-savvy. And please, stop using "sideloading", it is and always has been installing. Sideloading aims to suggest you're doing something you shouldn't be doing.
Gaming Against ViolenceOur violence-prevention games were removed by Google Play years ago.*
It's great to know folks will still be able to sideload these free award-winning games. 🧡Adolescents around the world will be helped by this.
*Google claimed these games about #consent and #HealthyRelationships were mis-classified as educational.
Synnef 🤍💙💛@Tutanota an alternative way to continue sideloading is not a win, the developer verification infrastructure will make it easier for google to try killing it off again in the future which is obviously their long term plan
we haven't won yet, keep your voices up 👀
William B Peckham@Tutanota That is not Google not being evil. That is just Google being evil less obviously. It still seriously stinks and I am not happy. And since I live in the USA, I still can't buy a Norwegian non-Android phone.
Christopher@William B Peckham I've been seriously eyeballing the FLX1s.
