@mikebabcock So you're saying 3.9 billion #Android users should not be allowed to install verified/reproducible #FLOSS apps because... ?

@fdroidorg how about you do some responsible journalism and read the part where Google won't stop you from side-loading whatever you want so long as you jump through a couple hoops to make sure you're not being coerced by a third party?
Are you being purposely ignorant or do you have an angle here?
Google has *very clearly* stated they won't prevent you from doing these things with a little hand-holding.

@fdroidorg 😂 what hyperbole.
First is the falsehood that #Google had ever claimed #Android devices are the "best computing device[s] in the world that [do] everything."
Second, the fallacy that this definition would preclude a protected ecosystem like they propose. Apple? Most people prefer the safety it offers them.
Side-loading? Valid. Silly argument.
The new changes protect *most* users from themselves.
Best? Power users aren't being stopped at all. Its an inconvenience at best.
