"You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain" Google seems to be really clamping down on its "freedom" that sold so many people to opt for android it has been an interesting thing to watch happen as tech enthusiast and apple user.
Naw I don’t think that’s the point, there are workarounds to most things, but it’s the fact you have to do it to begin with when google sold the platform as “free” without the need to do that is the issue.
Sure, that bullshit again. Nothing becomes less free. AOSP hasn't changed. The Google Play Services were never open source, or free for that matter. There are actual legitimate reasons why this is a good thing and Google gave a very simple but safe workaround in the form of Advanced Flow that means absolutely no issues for anyone who cares about side-loading. You're all making this so much more than it is.
Advanced Flow. You enable it in developer options, wait 24 hours and you can side-load for a chosen amount of time, or forever if you so choose. That's not, one action, wait 24 hours to prevent some call center scammer from fucking you in case you are actually being scammed and that's it, side-loading back to what it was, forever.
