I find it interesting that these companies are taking something that was once normal… loading your choice of software onto your thousand plus dollar computer… and pretending that its something new and evil.
I’d prefer honesty. They want cash and this undermines thier platform near-monopolies.
yup,just even the word “sideloading” seems like its been custom created to sound shifty and sidewise when all it means is installing something. People would look at you weirdly if told them “sideloading” Photoshop on to your PC was dangerous, but somehow its accepted for phones.

As much as I hate them for it, they’ve done an excellent job vilifying ownership of one’s own devices.
Same shitbags who successfully convinced a generation that it’s okay to download programs with ads built-in.
No wonder they think they can get away with anything. It’s like herding sheep at this point.
