In this post, I hope to clarify and expand on some of the points and rebut some of the counter-messaging that we have witnessed.

If android blocks direct-installing “sideloading”, I will move to Apple and never look the fuck back. This is pure greed and hubris that Google thinks they have the market cornered. They all can go cuck themselves.
I’ve got some bad news…
I mean, obviously apple was like that since the first iphone, but if it’s all walled gardens, nothing matters anymore. Well, maybe I’d try a linux phone first.
What about those Xiaomi and other “versions” of android?
Best thing to do is just stop buying new phones. Play Services and apps will still work and receive updates for years. Swap that old battery and keep chugging for a few years.
Starving all the tech brah corpos of money is the only message we plebs have the power to send. Bouncing to their competitor in a duopoly isn’t actually “showing them” anything.
If they start doing X I will go somewhere where they have been doing X for a long time! That’ll show them!
My logic is that if no one allows direct install of apps, I might as well move to a more secure walled garden than the dogshit security posture Android has.
