"sideloading" is a stupid made up term invented to delegitimize installing software.
Heres a bunch of other things I'm doing while "sidestepping" some supposed central authority:
- sideshopping (buying stuff from a store that isn't amazon)
- sidedining (eating or making food that isn't from mcdonalds)
- sidethinking (using my own brain instead of asking chatgpt)
- sidelistening (to my own music instead of on spotify)
- sidechatting (irl instead of online)
Le Big Tech o grandi aziende tecnologiche come #Meta, #Google, #Microsoft, #Amazon e #Apple influenzano il nostro modo di accedere e interagire su Internet. Controllano settori chiave come la ricerca, i social media, il #cloud computing, l'e-commerce e i sistemi di produzione di telefonia mobile. L'accesso a questi servizi è quasi altrettanto importante per i nostri diritti e il nostro sostentamento quanto servizi di pubblica utilità come acqua ed elettricità.

Ohhh. I missed this so far.
I think this makes sense: browsers are one of the most fundamental digital public goods at this point. (Right after a mobile OS.)
I'd have preferred if they had picked #Firefox or #Verso, but hey, poking #Google gets my vote too 🙂
(Is #Ecosia the best host? Probably not; I'd see this as a @sovtechfund
@nlnet et al project.)
