I do believe you’re the one playing dumb cunt, but maybe it’s not an act.

“They” is a pronoun. Hope that helps clear things up.

Sideload wasn’t loaded language before Android OS and still isn’t: it’s a bogus, overreactive claim.

The term “sideload” was coined by i-drive, a bunk dot-com contributor who applied to trademark the term because they were corporate ghouls. Their version of sideloading involved giving them a link to a file on the internet, and they would store it for you, so you didn’t have to download it yourself. The idea behind sideloading is just transferring a fucking file. It’s loaded language, despite whatever freedom or restrictions an implementation provides. Call it what it is, a file transfer.

Clear use cases for casual users exist for

What about the clear use case for a FOSS developer who doesn’t want to go through the Google authority for validation? What happens when Google thinks an app is dangerous when it shows no clear malicious behavior? What happens when Google enforces the idea that blocking ads is malicious?

(even as Google turns out to be a shitty authority)

In my opinion, what a massive understatement.

Edit: Put the documentation where your mouth is. Show me the “clear documentation that power users can still install any package they want,” because F-Droid would like to have a word with you. While you’re reading that, do take care to note that Google already has a service to protect against malicious applications. They don’t need to limit application installs based on developer registration. They need to make a profit for their shareholders. They’re corporate ghouls.

I believe you’ve got the political spectrum confused. I’m not sure, as you’re going on about the woes of unregulated social media while actively posting memes as a form of discussion on a social media and then going on to complain about guns being removed from posters, so I’m not too entirely sure what you’re on about. I think I can understand that you’ve got things mixed up, however. The NSDAP, despite their name, was extremely far-right.

Furthermore the idea that publicly traded companies have some kind of obligation to make as much money as quickly as possible is a reddit-born myth.

Shareholder primacy wasn’t born on reddit, it was actually Milton Friedman who theorized of it, the Michigan Supreme Court who wrote it into precedence, and now American citizens who have to live under the consequences of publicly traded corporations having a distinct legal obligation (against the belief of some legal academics who argue otherwise, in bad faith nonetheless) to provide a profit for shareholders. This also applies to PE, who take this notion of a, once again, distinct legal obligation to provide profits for shareholders above all else, as what you would call a “Get out of jail free card,” i.e. fraud and thievery is completely fine if you’ve got shareholders to feed.

But a CEO acting in good faith has no other obligation than to fulfill the tasks asked of them by shareholders.

Shareholders: “We demand more profits, please start acting in bad faith so I may purchase another boat this afternoon”
CEO: “ok”

Alternatively:

Shareholders: “Profits, please”
CEO: “no”
Michigan Supreme Court: “The death sentence is on the table”

This is how this has played out since 1919, Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. Wax poetic about theory, in reality people are starving over the sheer necessity that the shareholders want another buck.

It is a fairly loaded word, implying it’s an alternative method of loading data to the primary, more actively vendor-supported method. Those methods you previously mentioned are actively subverting the primary application install methods (Google Play) and are 1 minor software update from being completely axed. Name-calling an opposing “they” is not quite productive.

You know, I was just thinking how awfully ironic it is that the guy who least wants his head chopped off is going to the people known for chopping heads off, giving them a reason to chop his head off.

It’s so funny how Charlie Kirk’s “legacy” is being absolutely whitewashed. He was not a man who you simply disagreed with. He was a vile, hateful man, who spread his white supremacist rhetoric to college students around the nation. He along with his supporters would frequently harass transgender and students of color before speaking at universities. Hell, I doubt he’s even read the Bible, but supposedly he would’ve been a disciple of Jesus Christ if you listen to this shit.
