not just about this app but about the tightening grip of authoritative plutocracy in general
>>108554474>the developers do not agree to this requirementfind the developers and convince them that signing apps with a certificate is not scary and they'll survive this humiliation
Make a developer account yourself and sign the apk for your own use?What's the actual downside?
get rid of your closed goyphone. or do you have to answer to your master?
This change will affect two types of apps:1) malware apps2) modded service piracy appsPeople who this will not affect:1) Normies2) Power usersYou can enable installation of unsigned apps, you may have to jump through some hoops, but it will still be allowed. You can still freeload and get get ReVanced so you can consume YouTube Premium features to view your slop without paying, but it will massively cut down on malware apps installed by grandmas on the phone with Indian scammers.If you can't figure out how to enable unsigned apps without being on the phone with someone guiding you into installing malware, or someone viewing your screen remotely, you have no business doing so.If you don't want to wait for the cool off period to install unsigned apps, you can use adb. If you can't figure that out, then again— you shouldn't be installing unsigned apps.
>>108554744>you may have to jump through some hoops, but it will still be allowedI don't want to jump through some hoops. It should do an IQ test on first boot and set defaults based on the score.
>>108554759>IQ testYou've never met someone with a high IQ that was mystified by technology? I've known doctors who were great doctors, very smart people, who were older and struggled with their iPhone.The process to allow unsigned apps is basically the IQ test.
>>108554784Not an IQ test, whatever. Some tech aptitude test. Can check if your IP frequents /g/. I want to prove that I'm not a retard once, and then never deal with coexisting with retarded grandmas in my digital ecosystem.
>>108554801That's how it works. If you're on a custom ROM it won't be an issue. If you constantly reset your phone or switch phones every month it might be annoying, but when you do the process it's done.
>>108554744don't listen to shit like this more than is needed. go to android's documentation for what this actuallly changes. thats' all needed to be said. google addresed this, stop talking about it
>>108554816>That's how it worksGoogle decided how it works, and now you have to jump through the hoops like a good dog to exercise your god-given right to install programs. And there's more and more hoops every year.
>>108554533tpbpAlso, phones aren't that great nowadays, right now they have far more downsides than benefits. It would be better to have only one for whatsapp or whatever normie msg apps your friends and family use, get rid of social media, and, for anything fancy or more sovereign, use a laptop or desktop with Linux or BSD. You don't need more, and you don't need to ask permission. Ameriogre cannon fodder will try to convince you otherwise, distrust them and their handlers at all costs.

No such issues on my Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max.
