The only third party store that should be allowed is fdroid (or fios ig), everything else that is sideloaded is either malware or pirated apps
oh woes.
~~This community encourages such incredible depth and discourse. Keep it up, folks!~~
Edit: whoops, posted this on the wrong community. Yay, piracy!
You don't like free stuff? Piracy is the only way. Ahoy!! 🏴☠️🦜
Ofc i do, i won't have jackshit in my jellyfin without it. But apps, nah..cracked apps are full of shit
Yea, because with cydia zebra and sileo, you can only install malware /s
thats not what i meant, i meant that it just opens the door for malware. And even with android, how many people actually install apks? Not many, bcs everything is there on the play store.
Have a read of this: https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/19/all-the-changes-coming-to-google-play-and-sideloading-following-700m-settlement/
Sideloading is a lot harder on Android than it should be.
You just have to open the apk and click install, how is thay hard?
