T-Thanks, Google...
jewgleeeeeeeee
>>108408764>firmly on the way to remove the one feature left that keeps most people from switching to iOSit's like they want Android to fail
>the ritualof humiliation
for what?are people getting held at gunpoint to allow unsigned apps?or just testing how far they can push their bullshit
>it's OK bro you can still do it you just have to jump through these hoops and do the macarena and yell MCDONALDS andMany many fags will defend it and they should get swirlied
they are extremely butthurt by apks
>>108408803google is super mad at apps like youtube vanced and this is their solution to make it harder for normies.
>99% of Android users don't even know what sideloading is. they still watch youtube with ads like the good goyim cattle they are.Google shitting on <1% of their userbase won't change anything for them. Honestly I'm surprised they haven't done this sooner. Still, isn't this still kind of acceptable? A one time 24h humiliation ritual and you can still install apks? Yes, Fdroid might be dead, but sideloading isn't.
Scammer-kun:>yeah just scroll past all those warnings and click accept. i'll call you back in 24 hours so we can continue with the installation of your hacked roblox apk
>>108408803most people get malware on their phones by installing random apks. it's a real issue. the humiliation ritual should be enough of a deterrent for such people.
i can't fucking wait for actual unjeetified linux armi'm not buying anything that can't be easily rooted or isn't rooted by default with all the firmware blobs released
>>108408824security updates are supposed to stop malware. thats the whole point behind the monthly update ritual.
>>108408824I've heard that it's a huge problem in southeast asia in particular for some reason
>>108408812>it's just a 24 hour waiting period>it's just a 7 day waiting period>it's just a ID check>it's just a foreskin verification check
>>108408833lots of whales in gacha and you can defraud them by making them download third party apks pretending to be legit or cheats.
how often was anyone coerced into installing an unverified apk?
>>10840880499% of the "people" defending it are unironic paid shills. The other 1% are actual NPCs repeating what their favorite paid shills said.>>108408826Reminder that in order to install an apk you must:1. Enable developer options2. Enable installation from unknown sources3. Authorize the app downloading the apk to install apks4. Accept the Google Play Protection warning telling you that the apk is unknown, a warning where you can only see a button telling you to cancel the installation because "install anyway" is hidden under "other options."So no, I'm not buying this "malware" excuse for a second. Most malware are apps that people got from Google Play.
>>108408764lol
>>108408845if you use any of the 4chan apps it asks you to confirm your pin or fingerprint to install because its not a verified app
>>108408796I wonder if Android devs even use Android phones or if it's like Microsoft where everyone uses Macs because they know their product is trash.
>Please lock the cuckcage to proceed
Time to switch to chink phones and OS I guess...
>>108408866>if it's like Microsoft where everyone uses Macs they all use windows unless its adobe related
>>108408846if anything someone that had the knowhow and aptitude for rooting their phone is significantly less likely to poz their phone with malware than a normie who can't even use an adblocker
Can someone actually do arm Linux that is a mobile is so I don't have to bend the knee to Google or Apple?
>os based on linux>every year they remove more and more freedom from the user>both linus and the linux foundation are completely okay with this
>>108408845idk but now they're going to be detained for an extra 24 hours while this counts down
>>108408855you seem to think this will do something. why?
>>108408764I don't believe this. Don't believe every pic it's posted on 4chan guys
>>108408903Just reverse-engineer all the binary blobs on Android with an LLM and then relicense it under GPL+NIGGER as Gaydroid.
>>108408932>Just draw the rest of the fucking owl>How? idk use AI lol
>>108408909don't worry before 24 hours pass google will have managed to pinpoint the perpetrator's exact location and profile so they can sell him ads for large garbage bags and quicklime
>>108408914It's literally the package responsible for verifying the signature. Samsung also has its own implementation, called Auto Blocker. Once disabled, it just allows any installations to occur.
so is lineageos okay or shoud I switch to postmarketos?
>>108408764I'm just not updating.Haha, yes I know, I know.
>>108408945This is unironically the latest meta with AI. Binary blobs will be next. https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/327
>>108408764this shithole World is a living nightmare
>google making installing apps from outside the store more cumbersome than apple does for iOSmy sides are GONE
>>108408812>sideloadingInstalling. It's called installing.
>>108409049i think it's important to say thati didn't do it.
>>108408764I wonder if this will need an active internet connection or if it can be done offline.
>>108408997custom roms dont have to deal with this. this is only for stock android and oem derivatives (samsung oneui)
>>108408905android is a fork of linux. linux is a kernel. the kernel creates the user space and handles syscalls. that's about it.
>>108408764>wait 24 hourskek wtfA fucking waiting period? Like you're trying to buy a gun? What in the hell
>>108408872hot
>>108408879There are tons people at Microsoft who use Macs. Source: I used to work there.
>>108409277the intention is probably that indian phone scammers can't get your grandma to install a RAT with a sense of urgency before someone can intervenebut the mistake was you not giving grandma an iphone in the first place
>>108408824My dad got malware from a google play weather app. Preventing sideloading is meaningless when google can't even ensure the shit on the store isn't malware
>>108409825right. because this isn't about malware. it's about ad revenue and sales cuts.
>>108408777>Jewgel
Holy humiliation ritualMy poco phones won't have this problem
>>108409929If you buy another it will
>>108409934Thought chink phones were exempt from this?
>>108408905You do know that there's no limits on how you use Linux or basically any open source software?They release the source for the shit they have to, and that's all Google needs to do.This is like blaming Linux and the Linux foundation for the armed drones from whatever country you dislike right now.You can simply fork Android and remove this shit, which is what GrapheneOS and LineageOS do.The only hurdle is these fucking banking apps that don't want to run on anything but stock android the way it came from your device's carrier.
>>108409949Manufacturer, not carrier. Mixed that up, but you get the point.
>>108408764I hate this jewish world
>>108408846This.
GOOD NEWSBuild files for AOSP on Sony Xperia 10 VII landed yesterdayhttps://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-pdx257This may be your last chance to own a phone with:a microsd card slota 3.5 mm headphone jackno hole punch or notchand run AOSP that you built from source yourself. No sideload blocks. No age check bullshit.
>>108409929>My poco phones won't have this problemWhy? Don't Poco run Android?
>>108408879Pretty much all big tech companies in the US use macs and have for a number of years. Windows just isn't very serious at all any more.It just adds to that gay corpo feeling you get when you see them if you've ever worked at one.
>>108409939All phones running official android will have it
>>108410018I've solved this problem by not owning a phone at all. I'm not going to fight with you just to use your product, that's fucking retarded.
>>108410040That's not fighting. That's everything I want in a phone. I would love a replacable battery too, but I can live without it.
>>108408824>yes saar the 24h is needful, we must do verifications on server side now and do paperwork, we will contact you again tomorrow to complete your process okay
>>108410044Everything past Android 5 requires fighting to do basic things any normal computer could do since the 90s.
>>108408824You're a fucking retard this is just about control. There's already like 50 warning when you try to install random APKs from the internet.Google wants total control over what runs on your phone just like apple
>>108408764I don't use a smartphone
>>108408764Remember when Microsoft got almost broken up for putting the Internet Explorer icon on Windows 98's desktop ? In 2027 we'll have to do "rituals" to install a third-party app now.
>>108410093uhhmmmm sweatie it's not a monopoly you have a choice when it comes to which boot you want to lick ok?
>>108408764Great, now I'll have a 24 hour delay when setting up a new phone. Google just can't help but fuck shit up these days. Retards will parrot the muh safety bullshit when in reality google is making it as painful as they can. Then later they'll remove this option using the excuse no one used it except scammers.
>>108410028>>108409393what are they doing on mac that isn't adobe related?
>>108410112This is just boiling the frog to make the future more palatableIt's 24 hours one time now, then 24 hours every time you want to instal any APK because grandma Gertrudis keeps getting scammed by Jonathan the IRS agent with a thick indian accent, then it's why would you want to install an APK are you a criminal?
>>108408797This. Fucking cuck shit. Can I disable network/ntp and manually change the clock at least?
>>108409929LMFAO Xiaomi was one of the earliest ones to come up with time gated unlocking bullshit an entire decade ago
>>108410028>that gay corpo feelinggetting force fed updates that make your system worse has to be the pinnacle of corpo gayness
>>108410117NTA but they have office on Mac. There are probably several dozen battalions worth of stinky street shitters using Macs for that. Most stuff around windows UI can easily be done on a mac and run on a VM (bootcamp they used to call it iirc?). And I doubt Azure runs on windows, so there's no reason for anyone working on that to use windows. I can't imagine anyone but Windows devs working on core windows stuff interfacing with actual metal needs a windows workstation.
>>108408764Ive used android for years. What the fuck is sideloading? Sounds like some shady bullshit to me. Good they are locking out.
>>108408826You can buy a phone and install SailfishOS or PostmarketOS on it RIGHT NOW anon. I'm waiting for mine to arrive as I write this.
>>108408905Linus is OK with TiVoization, if Stallman had been able to predict it before GPL2 we might not live in shitty phone hell.
>>108408764Tbh if they allow this and won't jew us after a while by banning sideloading altogether (the same they're trying to do with adblockers) It might be a good thing for tards like boomer and children. You can't imagine the amount of compromised android devices that are used for residential proxies and DDOS, if not hacked and blackmailed. It's better to let daddy google filter all the jeets and scammers.Last time I tried to install a cracked version of minecraft from a shady store I remembered using as a child for a kid I know, then it demanded all the permissions possible. I deleted it in that moment, and installed luanti from fdroid (an opensource MC clone).Still, if you want a walled garden, apple is better.
>>108410126no
>>108408997Lineage is fine, it shouldn't be affected by this in particular. Note that Google can and has made it harder for the Lineage devs so you may still want a backup strategy prepared for the next time Goolag does some bullshit.
>>108410117>what are they doing on mac that isn't adobe related?sshing to a machine that corpIT doesn't control so they can try and actually do work.
>>108410247It's a typo, they mean installing apps. Don't know how they keep getting those mixed up, silly Google should probably know how their OS works.
>>108408824>the humiliation ritual should be enough of a deterrentwhen has a humiliation ritual been effective as a deterrentif it was about normies they would make it an iq test
>>108410479>>108408824There's a frat down the road from here that hazes new members by shutting their testicles in a window. Some people desire abuse. Some people even think that's all socialization is.
>>108410247It's for installing unverified applications. No one cares about that except scammers and china.
>>108408764Will unironically switch to crapple if this gets implemented. If I have to stick with a locked goyphone I'll pick one with social status attached. Fuck niggers
>>108408824Windows RT failed for a reason.
>>108408764Humiliation ritual, but at least there's still a way to do it.Still going with Lineage or Graphene when it'll work on my phone.
I didn't read the thread but I was under the impression that I can just install GrapheneOS on my Pixel 9a and then continue to sideload as normal. Has that changed?
>>108410018I sold my shitty Xperia in 2015 cause it was fucking shit, the plastic screen was weird, and after having a HTC one m8 it felt cheap and cheerful
>>108409631>intentionit has the convenient side effect of discouraging a big chunk of people from benign sideloading too
>>108409631Yeah corporations just want you to be safeMaking money and locking people into an ecosystem? They don't even think about that bro
This is gonna backfire so hard because scammers will find ways to get verified and that will make google liable for their crap, class action ensues.
>>108413644this shit has already happened countless times, not to mention those cockroaches that take projects that are already free and modify them with trackers and ads then put them on google play
>>108408764Can somebody point to a single real case of a problem that could have been prevented like this? I bet the glowies can still get into your device. People don't just sideload apps if thry don't know what they are doing. It just seems like it's about control.Like making it difficult to install tampermonkey on chrome. They just want to make it difficult to run code they havem't approved.
>>108408840>ywn penis inspection days like you did in elementary school againWhy even live.
>>108408764We need gnu phone now: https://librephone.fsf.org/
>>108409825So if google enforces ID verification of developers on google play, it'll be fine no? Because they do exactly that.
>>108414032every app on the play store already has to be "verified"the verification process was never about app screening
>>108413867It probably is about control, yes. The cases they're touting for this is to prevent people from getting scammed. Scammers often attempt to instill some sense of urgency in the person they're trying to scam (this is true enough) so the victim doesn't have time to think about things or to ask for help from somebody else. They're saying this process is intended to disrupt scammers attempting to make the victim install shit like remote access apps or straight-up malware.I guess it does look like it would be somewhat effective for that, but I still think that's just a good excuse and the truth is they would really love to have a walled garden rather than an open platform.
