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 what the fuck. none of this is at all acceptable
let people install whatever apps they want, without any fearmongering
it's supposed to be their device

> the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with thisI look at it this way:
One market of SoCs that support a single bodged together Linux kernel fork. Two separate but related app ecosystems. The people that are fine with Google Play Android are subsidizing the cost of my hardware.

For what it's worth.

@terminaltilt yeah, i don't like that. i don't even give my phone my fingerprints in the first place.
@old_angry_queer @terminaltilt @grote the screenshot literally says "or device PIN"

.. "no one is guiding me" is broad enough it would consider an app developer telling you "this is the bullshit hoops you have to go through now to use our application" .. or following a tutorial on how to enable this .. bruh

Tbh, considering that border agents also sideload their spyware and then wipe it off when you have to hand them your phone unlocked and they vanish with it for a few minutes this is probably a good thing though.
Also you've only to go through it once.
The only question I have is if they'll allow Apps to query this, if they do then that'll be the bigger issue as then almost all anti-cheat, anti-tamper, and "root detection" frameworks will add it instantly...

I want to use my phone and install in it whatever I want. Google has nothing to say about that.

@grote i want to stop using inoperative systems like android or ios, that's it
@oatrapado @grote Europeans might come to the rescue in the coming years with creations like FairPhone and Jolla Phone. Maybe if the donations start flooding in, Pine64 might be convinced to put more effort into the PinePhone.

@grote the argument is nice:
"57% of surveyed adults experienced a scam in the past year, resulting in a global consumer loss of $442 billion"
But the real question then is: How much scam and loss is due to malicious side loaded apps?
Does it matter? This is *my* phone. I shouldn't be punished for other people's irresponsible behavior.

funnily at the moment it isn't. There have been some leaks as in some instances they "forget" to wipe it after use.
Edit: But yea, they'd probably get it signed through governmental pressure in the end either way...

it's supposed to be their device @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.

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).

A Candle-Powered Game Boy For Post-Apocalyptic Tetris
We’re not exactly worried about Armageddon here at Hackaday, but should we end up facing the end of the world as we know it, having something to pass the time would be nice. That’s why we were intrigued by [Janus Cycle]’s latest video where he both plays and powers a Game Boy by candlelight.
You’ve probably figured out the trick already: he’s using a Peltier module as a thermoelectric generator. Candles, after all, release a lot more energy as heat than light, and all that high-quality heat is just begging to be put to use somehow. It’s hardly a new idea; [Janus] references space-age radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) in the video, but back in the day the Soviets had a thermoelectric collar that fit around a kerosene lantern to power their tube radios.
In [Janus]’s case, he’s using a commercial module sandwiched between two heatsinks with the rather-questionable choice of a cardboard box reinforced with wooden skewers to hold it over the candle. Sure, as long as the flame doesn’t touch the cardboard, it should be fine, but you will not be at all surprised to see the contraption catch fire in the video’s intro. For all that, he doesn’t get enough power for the Game Boy — one module gets him only 2 V with tea light, but he has a second module and a second candle.
Doubling the energy more than doubles the fun, since a working Game Boy is way more than twice as fun as an un-powered one. But one candle should be more than enough power, so [Janus] goes back and optimizes his single-Peltier setup with a tall candle and actual thermal grease, and gets the Game Boy going again. Any fire marshals in the audience should look away, though, as he never gives up on keeping a candle in a cardboard box.
The “power something with a Peltier module” project is probably a right of passage for electronics enthusiasts, but most are more likely to play with the irony of candle-powered LEDs, or fans to cool the cold-side heatsink. We did see a phone charger one time, and that didn’t even involve open flames, which seems much safer than this. Remember — no matter how much you want to game after the end of the world, it’s not worth burning down your fallout shelter.

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
