You may hate Android’s new 24-hour sideloading rule, but I love it

androidauthority.comYou may hate Android’s new 24-hour sideloading rule, but I love itA one-day delay that cannot be bypassed on-device is a really clever way to solve several problems at once.

I don't want to say the only thing keeping me on Android is the fact I don't have to deal with Apple's walled garden of an ecosystem but uh It mostly is lol

The article has a poll to vote it makes Android less open (which seems to be the strongest negative response the poll allows?).

Im just pointing out a poll exists! I am ambivalent about telling people to give them traffic for this article, but I encourage people that do visit the page to vote the: "it makes Android less open" option. #NoKings #NoWalledGardens #MundusSineCaesaribus

Ohh! I gotcha! I would actually suggest people go here and let Google know how they feel. This is a form linked on the developer site for feedback on the developer verification which presumably means advanced flow opinions can go here too: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Did you mean to reply to me? I don't understand what you're asking of me.

Ok, in full disclosure, I had decided to put that reply somewhere before I saw your #WalledGarden comment, but it was the best thread I found for my reply :) But yes, it was deliberate, and if you or anyone visits the article I think they should vote for the "it makes Android less open" option.
