You mean "installing normally." "Sideloading" is fucking anti-property-rights loaded language.
Good point. Wild how these ghouls have normalized their bullshit language.
Do you have a better, simple word for what they're banning?
What do you call installing an application on a computer?
I say "I
apt-getit"installing?
downloading and installing programs.
But they're not banning downloading and installing programs. What are they blocking, specifically?
regular installs of apps by unverified or suspended developers
they can still be installed by
adbwhenever I point this out to the drama queens here, they get hissy
They're banning programs from being installed unless the installation has their consent
Isn’t there somebody you forgot to ask?
They're banning non google-drmed app installs
Loading non-playstore apps?
"Ownership."
