#Google trips over its own words, when they sell you #Android it's the best computing device in the world that does everything. After you bought it Google doesn't let you do anything *you* want to.
#Sideload is a made-up term. Putting software on your computer is simply called “installing”, regardless of whether that computer is in your pocket or on your desk.
What Do You Talk About When You Talk About Sideloading?
What does Google?
Here's #FDroid: https://f-droid.org/2025/10/28/sideloading.html
Our nonprofit group's award winning, prosocial, non-violent video games were removed by #Google.
🤥 They claimed that we had misled them by classifying them as #educational. Google purported to know more about our work than we do.
🎮 Our free games about #consent and #healthyrelationships were unilaterally removed from Google Play, making it much tougher for us to reach and help young people.
🧡 The ubiquity of smartphones make game marketplaces a necessary channel for us to reach #adolescents directly.

My State Banned Vaccine Mandates. Here’s How I Covered It as an Idaho Journalist.
---
The Idaho Medical Freedom Act, which makes it illegal to require almost anyone to take a vaccine, test or other “medical intervention,” comes amid a national measles outbreak larger than the U.S. has seen in decades.

In case you missed it: We found that the FDA allowed 20+ foreign factories to continue to send certain medications to the U.S. even after those facilities were banned because of concerns about contamination and other breaches.
The agency kept the practice largely hidden from the public and Congress.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza, H5N1, is currently spiking in wild bird populations. Will this be the year it becomes readily transmissible p2p? That would be a perfect storm, with US monitoring and mitigation at an all time low thanks to RFKs gutting of the US public health system.
Meanwhile, a children's petting farm in Canada has asked all visitors to get tested, after detecting H5N1 in their poultry.

"The WRAP is the subject of a growing number of federal lawsuits likening incorrect usage of the device to punishment and even torture, whether used in a jail or by immigration authorities during international flights. Among advocates’ concerns is that ICE is not tracking the WRAP’s use as required by federal law when officers use force."

Hello la team, c'est quoi vos hashtag sciôntifik préférés ?
Mes centres d'intérêts se portent plus précisément sur la santé, la santé publique, l'économie, la socio, mais tout m'intéresse. Si vous avez des comptes de chercheureuses (francophones ou non) à recommander, je prends aussi.
Le repouet alimente mon intérêt pour les sciences même si j'ai arrêté les études.
Merci d'avance
