@lumi@snug.moe @grote@chaos.social Also, what if someone is guiding them, like say... a family member that is more familiar with technology?
It's deliberately misleading.

Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps:
* enable developer options
* confirm that you are not tricked
* restart phone and re-authenticate
* wait one day
* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
* confirm that you accept the risks
* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this@grote how good that more than year ago i installed ubuntu on my phone. lol.

@grote I suppose you forgot, that you have to do this only during full moon?

It should just be a toggle in developer options. Anyone who might "accidentally sideload their phone to death" isn't going to know where to look. -

@grote confirm with biometrics...?

@nazokiyoubinbou @grote However scary the whole new Google process is for the non-expert user, installing a new OS on your daily driver phone is a hundred times scarier.
@FifiSch @nazokiyoubinbou @grote graphene might have a chance with their partnership with motorola, run from start, and people won't even know about thim simply no google by default in it.

Per the screenshot, biometrics are not necessary. The device PIN will also suffice.
For what it's worth.
IMHO...for now. The PIN will suffice...for now.
I sincerely believe this is just one step G😈😈gle is taking towards a more "our way or the highway" goal.
Remember, boiling frogs.

If we DO go through all this bullshit to sideload or get F-droid installed... so now our phone is in developer mode. Are there going to be any authorized Google store apps that detect developer mode and go "nuh-uh"? And if that's the case, and I disable developer mode (presumeably borking our F-droid/sideload apps?), will I have to wait 24 hrs to RE-enable dev mode?
@tezoatlipoca @grote at that point i'm already surpsised they did not make sideloading a paid feature ...

You will own nothing....

@grote one year later we've updated our policies
* wait extra day
* enable accelerometer
* wank the phone for 10 minutes
* wait another day -

@FifiSch @grote I don't really understand that. The instructions are so simple and detailed and the "new OS" is basically exactly the same thing right down to having the same basic startup configuration and etc. The only difference is the Google connections are optional and one can decide for themselves how far they want to go.
It's pretty much just tapping a few things, then copying and pasting two lines or so. Once it's booted you wouldn't tell it apart from stock other than its cleanliness. It's easier than installing Linux on a PC and that's actually a lot easier and less scary than people have been convinced.
I bet if people didn't let Google, Apple, and etc convince them that they are so scared of installing third party options we never would have reached this point.

@lexinova @FifiSch @grote I expect that to be helpful, but it's too limited. They're not going to expand out too much because the Graphene author is very very adamant that things must be just so (especially hardware features.)
I also worry they'll pull a OnePlus. They became too commercial and stopped being the open thing they were pretending to be once all the money came in.
What we truly need is a truly open initiative of some sort. But smartphones and tablets have a very particular ecosystem that would be incredibly hard to ever open up at this point. Proprietary, locked down components locked behind NDAs are the norm for even the cheapest devices. It didn't have to be that way, but here we are now.

If the installation fails for some reason, and leaves your phone in an unbootable state, is there some way to recover it?
You can always recover a PC with a bricked operating system by booting from USB. Boot from USB is implemented in ROM, so no matter how horribly wrong things go, there's always a fail-safe.
I was under the impression that the equivalent to that ROM on phones is in writable storage and can be bricked along with the rest of the OS.

@nazokiyoubinbou @FifiSch @grote and people in store will never see their post nor comunicate with them, so if preinstall it's a non issue.

Nothing to be sorry about here. Everyone that participated in the development of these tools has to apologise.

Perché l'embargo a Cuba è illegale? Perché è una punizione collettiva.
La punizione collettiva è rigorosamente vietata dal diritto internazionale umanitario, in particolare dalle Convenzioni di Ginevra del 1949. Nessuna persona può essere punita per un'infrazione non commessa personalmente. Il divieto include non solo rappresaglie ma anche assedi ed embarghi che privano la popolazione di beni essenziali (cibo, acqua, medicine).

Terzo motivo per cui è illegale l'embargo a Cuba
3. Divieto di punizione collettiva
L’uso dell’embargo per creare carestie, crisi energetiche e limitare l’accesso a beni essenziali configura una forma di punizione collettiva della popolazione civile, vietata dal diritto internazionale umanitario e dai trattati sui diritti economici, sociali e culturali. https://www.studiocataldi.it/articoli/48013-l-embargo-a-cuba-il-collasso-energetico.asp

Perché l'embargo a Cuba è illegale. Altra norma violata
2. Principio di non ingerenza e autodeterminazione
È considerato una misura coercitiva unilaterale che forza l’ordine interno e politico cubano, in contrasto con l’Art. 2 della Carta delle Nazioni Unite e con il principio di autodeterminazione dei popoli, denunciata come strumento di pressione politica illegittima.

Tre punti brevi sulle principali norme internazionali violate dall’embargo statunitense contro Cuba.
1. Diritto del commercio internazionale (GATT/OMC)
L’embargo viola le regole del libero scambio e delle libertà commerciali, in particolare i principi del GATT e dell’OMC, perché impone restrizioni generalizzate sulle importazioni ed esportazioni con Cuba, limitando contratti e accordi commerciali legittimi tra Stati terzi e l’isola.
