Technology@lemmy.world•Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they worked hard for it(including waiting 24 hours)English
12·6 days agoI don’t give a shit about steps, I can follow steps. Nor do I give a shit about 24 hour cooldown when the flipside is having the phone completely neutered.
And don’t get me wrong, I’m infuriated that they even considered it. In my opinion side loading is a basic phone feature and not having it is disabling.
But… they’re not removing it, and they sure as fuck didn’t get away with it. They got immense backlash and now they’re listening to the community, as they should.
This is an enormous win for the future of sideloading (which, let me remind you, almost just got killed on every Android phone) and I’m happy it’s living to see another day.

03·6 days agoBro did you want them to ban it? A one-time 24 hour wait is literally nothing compared to having 0 viable phones on the market where you can sideload.
Am I tripping? How is this not good news?

1·6 days agoI bought an Android specifically because iPhone doesn’t allow sideloading. If Android bans sideloading, there’s no viable options left until Linux phone develops to a usable state.
The win is that they’re not banning sideloading, obviously. Personally I don’t gaf if I gotta wait 24 hours as long as you can do it.
