A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Not to defend Google, but they have said they will leave a way for people to sideload. Still sucks that they feel justified in making it more annoying https://www.androidauthority.com/google-android-17-sideloading-interview-sameer-samat-3647478/
Well no. They said "technically there might be a way to sideload, but only if you jump through incredible hoops like doing it all by USB on your computer or some ridiculous thing, and you definitely won't be using F-Droid, hell no you won't."
Someone should make an iTunes like interface for F-Droid that runs on your computer and syncs when plugged in to your phone.
Fer anyone reading: that is false.
