Can someone please tell Pichai that I can do whatever I want with my phone that I paid for. (Also tell him to fuck off and that he can suck ma balls)
Yeah and it feels like there’s a “study” coming out every other month how many hundreds or thousands of apps on the playstore are filled with spy- and malware, I’d think that can also “really compromise your safety, very significantly.” So 🤷♀️
Be Pichai.
Tell people not to sideload apps fOr SaFeTy.
Find out [Insert Malware App] has been on the play store for months and tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people have downloaded it.
Could you imagine Laptop manufacturers saying “do NOT download apps from other websites. ONLY download from the Windows App Store”
Like, fuck off Pichai, you’re insane
Are phones the only devices out there that receive such scrutiny in the tech world?? My laptop can literally do the exact same thing but better
People should do that though
It’s good security practice to use your package manager and if you have to download off the internet then you should build it yourself
You usually can add more repo/source to your package manager though.
You over estimate the average user if you trust them for that
Not really planning on sacrificing privacy and safety from monopolies by doing that thanks. Not everybody’s threat model is that ridiculous.
I advise him to stfu
To late already formatted and installed lineageOS and f-droid
I agree with him. If you don’t know what you are doing and just blindly install something off the Internet, it’s a security concern. I would not recommend that most users side-load apps, either. You have to remember that this crowd is not representative of the average user.
Just don’t take the option away from those of us who do know what they are doing.
I’ll keep sideloading if they don’t allow F-Droid, NewPipe and LibreTube on the Play Store.
Well, not all the apps I want are on your store, so 🤷♀️.
If we’re not careful there will be a new generation of users who have no concept of “apps” at all, and will conflate sideloading (or anything ‘not authorized’) with an illegal process.
Oh well, I guess I’ll return the Pixel 8 I just ordered.
Nah, I’ll just install Calyx, and invite Sundar to suck my dick.
Proper attitude! Getting tiring of these tech daddies trying to dictate what I will do my devices.
These creeps really think they own the devices but I guess why wouldn’t they when normies take it and even say thank you.
Yeah I’d advise that too if that was a source of income
