@hardpenguin13 tbh that's way simpler than I expected! The wait a day is pretty annoying though.

Those feel like actual security measures, not spying, for once.

@mdiluz the binary toggle that is in place right now is already too much if you ask me

[mdiluz@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@hardpenguin13 For you, yeah, but think of the average person and how they barely know how to computer :D

@hardpenguin13 it's a one step process. You do it once and you can side load apps forever after.
Seems acceptable to me.

@SamLeLuxo @hardpenguin13 Until it becomes 2 steps. Then none, because it is no longer an option.

I don't want a generic computing device, like a smartphone, that doesn't do what I, the owner, tell it to do.

@hardpenguin13 bloody hell. Next step is promising Google my first born I guess.

I am heavily wondering why they are locking down their ecosystem. A fortune is probably at stake in Android.

@hardpenguin13 To hell with #Google

@RandySimons @SamLeLuxo @hardpenguin13 That's never really been Android though. It's always hidden parts of your filesyatem from you. If you can 'jailbreak' or 'root' it, then it's not really yours in the first place.

@hardpenguin13 This is some shit that Apple and Microsoft would have been sued to Oblivion for 15 years ago.
