Does anyone here actually support Google's Developer Verification?

I don’t. I’ve put a warning about it in my repo because I’m against policies like sideloading restrictions, forced ID verification.

Curious what other devs here think. Is Play Store still worth the hassle?

Given that your first article says nothing about 80% I'm not continuing to click your links.

I was being generous when I said 90%.

Because people do not know what apps are and that they can be installed via sideloading, faked appstores and more, they are vulnerable.

If I ask a "normal" person if the ever drunk di-hydrogen-monoxid they would say no, because they have no idea this is water

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Okay either you're trolling or clueless. Because you just made my argument for me. How exactly are people who don't know what an app is going to enable side loading and then do it? That makes no sense whatsoever.

How does somebody give his bank account creds to a scammer?

I am 100% serious. Maybe you should look up what social engineering is and how it works.

People install TeamViewer and other stuff on their desktop, the execute commands in their terminal without nowing what it is.

ou have clearly 0 qualifications to talk about it security

Goalposts keep moving. 80% will install an apk, now it's if coerced.

Anyone who makes the claim that 80% of people installs apks is an idiot who cannot be taken seriously. Of fucking course they don't.

[-] vapeloki@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

What? "Will install" not "have installed". Maybe "would" is a better word, English is not my first language and I have a bad day, but there is no moving goal post.

English is not my first language and I have a bad day

Uh, so then why confidently correct others who do speak English as a first language? You haven't made much of an attempt to do anything here other than say "I'm right everyone else is wrong"

[-] vapeloki@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Maybe look at other threads here where I debate the actual issue. An actual debate.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Lol still with the "I'm right" stance. Very helpful. If I'm being generous here you accidentally introduced a misunderstanding, did nothing to clear it up, and then blamed others for it. If I'm not, you're just a troll.

Final try, this is the official new workflow from Google.

Did you know this existed? Are you aware while not very convenient or restores the full sideloading functionality once you went through this process?

What the fuck are we even debating about if facts, provable fucking facts, are ignored

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

You are debating literally anything that comes to mind. I was debating a ridiculous bullshit stat you puked up. Bye
