“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.
Nah cuckloading is perfect. The best way to make an insult like that not effectively belong to the sexists is just to use it in non-sexist contexts. The intrinsic meaning of cuck is perfect for this. Fuck the extrinsic meaning. We can change that.
Might be easier to come up with a specific name for installing something from Google. “Google loading” maybe.
The we just go back to “installing”.
Everything on my grapheneOs is sideloaded,
Everything on my GrapheneOS is installed normally, by which I mean “however the fuck I want”.
Fuck allowing the act of exercising your rights as the owner to be demonized with bullshit loaded language!
Sideload deez nuts
Patrick you should go fuck yourself, you are not different from that low life systemd age field PR asshole
As someone who replaces “core” apps with FOSS alternatives, the 24 hour wait is quite a punishment.
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?
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.”
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)
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?
Anything I want right now that Google is blocking me from is urgent.
How long am I supposed to beg to use my own device?
Patrick Campanale, you’re a spineless corporate shill and I hope one day, you will pay for that spinelessness
The comments on that article seem to agree with you.
