»Sideloading - F-Droid wirft Google Falschaussage vor
Die Macher von F-Droid teilen weiter gegen Google wegen der kommenden Entwicklerregistrierung aus: Google verbreite Falschaussagen.«
Ich halte mich mit meinen Kommentaren mal raus, denn Rechtlich habe ich so gut wie keine Ahnung aber ich stehe auch 101% hinter @fdroidorg und hoffe dass das positiv für sie entwickelt.

While you CAN apparently sideload apps on Amazon's new Fire TV Stick 4K Select with Vega OS, it's a cumbersome process that's probably not worth doing... especially since the experience is buggy and the hardware is underpowered. #AmazonFireTVStick4KSelect #VegaOS #Sideloading #FireTV https://www.aftvnews.com/sideloading-is-truly-dead-on-the-fire-tv-stick-4k-select-with-vega-os/
If Google is killing sideloading, then Android is just iOS with ads and spyware. Why the hell would anyone choose that?

"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)

tl;dr: We need better OSes for hardware available out there
