⚡ Google is killing Android freedom by stopping you from side-loading apps. What's your reaction?
Option 1: Stop call it side-loading: Google wants to stop us from INSTALLING apps on our OWN phones.
Option 2: Awesome, now I can hate Google and Apple equally for destroying freedom.
Option 3: I don't care as I'm using a different OS anyway (please comment which one!)

in reply to Tuta • • •I am another using GrapheneOS.
I also have a tablet that I use predominantly for gaming, I will move over to a third party ROM when one becomes available, or I won't update.
I use F-droid and multiple apps not available on the play store.

in reply to Tuta • • •I'm using two phones. One phone (Pixel 8) with #grapheneos and the other phone (OnePlus 6T) with Linux #postmarketos.
Btw: the Tuta app on the Linux phone was last updated on April 2019!

in reply to Tuta • • •I chose "I'm using a different OS" because I don't have a cellphone.😜
However, I would have chosen "Stop call it side-loading" if I did own one!

in reply to Tuta • • •I'm confused. I sideload 3 apps on my Pixel phone already. There's no problem.
It never stopped me. It just wants me to clarify that I understand the danger, and I need to give permission.
Loading apps outside the store can be dangerous, and many people don't know it, unfortunately. So, it seems to point it out, but allow it.
I'm not seeing the issue.

in reply to Tuta • • •Linux mobile is the only long term solution. I'm using #postmarketOS on a #Librem5 and all important things work for me.
#Furiphone #FLX1 and #JollaC2 can also be decent options for most people as they have Android app compatibility set up out of the box.

in reply to Tuta • • •i hope that this pushes the devs of android roms to maybe switch and contribute to #mobilelinux for more freedom.
