"sideloading" - otherwise known as "installing apps on your fucking phone that you bought with your own money"

The only reason i need android is for gaming. Decided i didnt need to game on my phone so i ditched android. Iphone allows me to do my entire job efficiently through my phone and shit post on 4chan at the same time lol. I also knew that androids freedom wasnt going to last forever. Android is also buggy as fuck.

This shit is so overblown. All they did was add extra guardrails and a mandatory wait period before allowing sideloading to make it harder for your nan to get scammed on the phone by a jeet asking her to install malware.

>>108995203
lmao what the fuck, how does that even make any sense? There needs to be a bypass for people who arent fucking retarded. There is a bypass which does not require 24 hours right?

I've been finding myself gravitating toward switching to iOS more and more recently. As someone who wants to get into filmmaking, I've been seeing people make short films with the camera on the iPhone 17 Pro with the ProRes codec and I'm astonished that level of quality is even possible on a phone camera.

>Iphone allows me to do my entire job efficiently through my phone
what is that job samir

Why doesn't google just give the FOSS nerds an Android version that works (or stop messing and breaking the AOSP version), and then give 90% of the population a curated Android with guardrails?

Most people who are avoiding the Play Store are probably like 1% of Android users, so it can't be about the money.

>>108995022
>So is Android going to become like iOS now?
at least not yet. adb still works (which includes adb over tcp own your own device), it would be pretty funny tho if googlel would start charging developers to be allowed to build apps like applel does where a developer license is required to hit the build button in xcode

>Most people who are avoiding the Play Store are probably like 1% of Android users, so it can't be about the money.
apps like revanced got popular enough that it got noticeable on their revenue, there's no other reason for the restrictions

>>108995230
the "bypass" is called adb, but just click the checkbox

>>108995022
This question doesn't mean much, Android and iOS have been merging into the exact same design for 20 years, and especially the last 8.

>>108995294
The whole point of Android is an open mobile system. if it becomes like iOS it losses most of its meaning.

But I downloaded and installed radiodroid two days ago

>tfw no FM radio app with no ads or tracking anywhere
I'm fairly sure my phone even supports it. I would even pay those few bucks come on.

>EU set clear goals on what is and isn't allowed
>Apple lobbied them to basically cuck users as much as possible while it's technically possible to add other app stores, but their devs still have to register in the Apple jail and pay fees
>Google now wants to do the same because Apple did it successfully

>>108995301
there is nothing open about phone devices

>>108995022
I thank Epic for suing them and making the courts rule they should allow appstores and nothing about allowing to download random installers from the internet and installing them with a simple click.
So now, since they're not forced to allow you to install random apks from a random dev, they're just slowly destroying sideloading to fit within what's legally required and not a single thing more.

The 24 hour wait IS the bypass. They want to go full Apple and lock it down entirely. You rike?

>>108996008
lmao making android devices be more like iphone before google got to it.

>>108996181
it sounds like adb works but thats retarded just for basic use. >>108996008
this shit is a great idea but the os screws up payment apps and gooner games, you have to install a bunch of shit to hide and bypass for anything that has google checks.

>>108995203
I don't support these extra guardrails but a while back euro politicans were saying they wanted to force google to remove the existing guardrail in the settings, which is utter fucking insanity for exactly the reason you mentioned

The fact that Android and IOS even hint at controlling this shit is why you should fully embrace any and all alternate mobile operating systems. Nowhere in the US can make them without built-in judaism but they can do so in China and Russia. USE THEM when they become available. Hype them up. Develop for them. Do your part you lazy faggot.

>>108995022
I kinda get why though.
Normal fags cannot be trusted to download shit.

Then educate them.
This was never an issue in the past. If people got infected with malware, they learned better. If they were beyond teaching, they just had to deal with the consequences, hopefully eventually they'd get sick of paying the stupid tax and do better.

>>108995301
>The whole point of Android is an open mobile system

no, the point of android is to serve google purposes. do you know how much money Samsung is paying google every years just for android? billions.

Good. I think makers of phone OS' should be making it abundantly clear that their devices aren't actually meant to be real replacements for proper PCs that don't have to deal with these restrictions because for some reason retards out there still haven't gotten the memo.

>>108997040
I don't care about any of those

NTA but banks around here are closing their service locations rapidly while only having open like 3 hours in the middle of the workday in which you have to queue if you can't use their apps (restrictions apply to what you can do if you use their website instead). Also, the methods of logging in are limited to BankID and they are phasing out card reader types of login. If you can't use their app and get a new phone you have to get to a bank office and request leave from work to make a new login license with a passport.

The few ways you can jump through hoops to get anything done for your finances besides apps are closing fast and will not be seen as freedom from bank spyware once they are gone. You'll simply be shit out of luck instead.

I'm not saying this is good but living without government and banking apps will be impossible around here soon.
Oh and cash is basically considered tainted currency so don't imagine you can use that instead.

ok, hear me out: second dumb phone - a phone that is smart, but low price but good enough for the task of using those shits - you will only use it a form of a digital tocken for banks and governments. as it has the task of running 2 apps, it can have low requriments - like so what if it has 2 gb of ram and 32 gb of memory and a processor that even an incel celeron can beat - can it load a bank app? yes? then even if it is second hand, 5 years old model, with brokne screen it still can be used.

you also get to mainstain a main phone.

>checkbox
Apparently it's going to be a thing in developer options, you click it, click through several dire warnings, wait 24 hours, click through several more dire warnings, and then you're finally permitted to turn it on.

Checkbox is fine, a warning when checking it is fine, but this is a little bit excessive.

What apps? My bank, PayPal, Cashapp, the banks of everybody I know, all don't care about developer options being on, and also don't seem to care about lack of strong integrity. My phone has basic integrity and everything just seems to work.
