    Wait, am I to understand they’re intending on making it that you cannot just install any apk you choose because it’s your phone and your business? Is that going to be no longer possible?

      If you were to read the article you’d find that sideloaded apps will have restricted permissions that the user will have to un-restrict one by one.

        Ewww. Such fucking useless imposition of restrictions that should be the user’s decision. Like almost everything else in technology nowadays where control is being taken away from the user.

        I’m only ever going to use devices that I can put whatever custom ROM I want on or that natively supports the options I want.

        As long as the general public just bends over and accepts this shit, they’ll keep doing stuff like this.
