    Okay, I understand your position. Android’s play store has market dominance, so the a term to distinguish between 99% of play store installs vs others, makes sense.

    Now, that is a tangent to the main issue, just arguing semantics. The issue is control versus openness, not about the term sideloading.

    Is Google’s plan to restrict app sideloading a good thing in your eyes, or no?

      A tangent someone else made. Many others really.

      just arguing semantics

      Absolutely not. I will no longer recommend Android to anyone. It’s cooked, as far as I’m concerned.

        Nice, I could tell you’re a smart dude, so at least we all can agree that Android is no longer to be trusted.

        Funny how words and language become the focus of this thread, and then the main issues get pushed to the side. I was arguing against you as if we didn’t agree on the main problem 😅

          Words and language are very important sometimes. I just disagree that this is one of those times.
