Everything on my grapheneOs is sideloaded,

As someone who replaces “core” apps with FOSS alternatives, the 24 hour wait is quite a punishment.

“Sideloading” is anti-property-rights loaded language.

The correct term for installing something by means other than the Google-approved method is “installing normally.”

It is the act of capitulating to Google’s control, due to the incorrect belief that you need its permission to use your own property how you want, that needs a new term. So far all I’ve been able to come up with is “cuckloading,” though I’m not happy with how sexism-adjacent it is and am open to suggestions.

Awww… Uncle Google just wants what’s best for me! So what’s the harm in getting into his van? What’s the worst that could happen?

Sideload deez nuts

Patrick you should go fuck yourself, you are not different from that low life systemd age field PR asshole

I can get behind a delay to enable side loading and the warning screens are nothing to me since I can just click past them. Though the delay should be more like 30-60 minutes at the most.

The real problem is requiring devs (even outside of the play store) to identify themselves. That is ridiculous and does absolutely nothing to secure the device for the user. (It only secures it under Google for their interests)

Indian accent: “Alright mam, when you install this app, I will contact you tomorrow and we can proceed with the transfer. For security reasons, don’t tell anyone you received this call.”

What kind of apps are there that “typically” need to be installed “urgently”? Sure I can work around the delay most of the time (and be at worst annoyed out of my brain by it) but that’s not how a user experience is meant to be designed, is it?
