So you’re arguing that systemd shouldn’t have reverted that pointless PR because it’s not actually enforced? Sorry, I’m probably not understanding your comment

… unless someone merges a PR making it required, which is the discussion of this thread.

Add stremio to this. (+ the torrentio extension)

Everything belongs to the working class brother

I go around installing solutions on my friends and family’s phones and TVs (ad-free YouTube clients, stremio, etc) and I fucking hate it when they use the official ones out of habit. Like I didn’t just do this for your convenience, this is mainly anti-advertisement activism. I fucking hate ads

In what way is installing from the play store fundamentally different? Just because it was preloaded on your phone? What if F droid was preloaded on your phone instead? Is it still sideloading? Google’s logic breaks down pretty quickly when you think about it

What would you get instead? I think if Google actually follows through with this, I’ll switch to LineageOS, which is still Android. Obviously, iOS is much worse on this front.

Every major Chinese achievement from their mass transit system to their big corporations to their economic growth to them pulling ahead technologically to so many more, all come with big asterisks attached that make them much more questionable.

Could you give one or two as examples?
