That's no guardrails but jail bars.

    sideloading is not a thing. it is Just a word to make you feel guilty about installing software from other sources than the proprietary store. I wish journalists wouldn't use this term anymore

    Correct, it’s just another install. On the hardware that YOU bought that the GoogleNazis now say you don’t actually own

  • No, it's not "just another install"

    It specifically means installing software from a safe source, like fdroid.

    Otherwise, you'd be getting it from some unsafe place like Google Play Store, which is loaded with spyware (which isn't allowed when you install from safer sources like fdroid)

    What is this a joke my family has been scammed on play store infinitely more times than on F-Droid or by my own personal apps

    And I am that much closer to moving to a phone running Nura

    I have already been looking up what apps I can replace things with and teaching myself to use command line Monero wallets so that I can continue using Monero even with no graphical wallet available yet.

    If I get a new device in 2027 or 2028, then I will have abandoned Android after running it for something like 14 or 15 years.
