kys apple shill
>>
>>109061873
I doubt that will ever happen. One, because Apple still hasn't done it, and they obviously would have if they thought they could. Two, computer programmers only care about themselves, and this would actually affect them, so they'd likely not comply. Seriously, once you realize computer programmers only care about themselves, all software makes way more sense.

what does sideloading mean i dont use android
>>
>>109064666
it means installing an application.
>>
>>109064669
If it meant installing an application why would op say sideloading?
>>
>>109064666
it's called jailbreaking by appletards
installing an app not from the official store
>>
>>109064701
Because that's what the image and marketing says. The corporations and legislators say "sideloading" because if they don't use vague euphemisms it would immediately be apparent that what they're doing is reprehensible.
>>
>>109064718
>it's called jailbreaking by appletards
No, it's not. That's equivalent to getting root on your Android phone.
>>
>>109061873
On what desktop?
You aren't seriously stupid enough to buy a Googlebook are you?
>>
>>109062089
No
>>
>>109061873
There is no such thing as "sideloading". There is only installing apps. "sideloading"is just the term used by Google in order to shame and "other" users who want autonomy and freedom with the devices they pay for and own.
>>
>>109064666
ffs faggots here can't give a straight answer. Fucking scourge of Indians shitting up this site
Sideloading means installing apps out of the phones official store.
It's be like someone with an iPhone installing an app from a third party website not related to or owned by apple.

*Outside of not out

>>109064718
>>109064816
so its like a package manager, isnt that an easier way to do it?

>>109064722
you seem to be dragging a law here, why, what have legislators to do with installing software kek?

>>109061873
as soon as the anger over this cools down

>you seem to be dragging a law here, why, what have legislators to do with installing software kek?
Not him, but in Europe, for example, they introduced laws explicitly to force Apple and Google to allow you to install applications outside of their respective stores, i.e, side-loading.

It is called side-loading because you are bypassing Google and Apple's monopoly in their form of their application store front.
>>
>>109065151
No.
For the last time. It is installing apps that are not in the phones official store.
It's installing apps that are not in the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store
That's it.
It's not hard. Are you pretending to be a retard?
>>
>>109061873
>sideloading
I'm so sick of hearing this retconned psyop word. I'm sick of huge corporations retroactively positioning the act of installing programs from sources outside of their provided avenues as some shady, alternative practice when really locking down the computers you sell so that only programs you manually approve of can be installed on them should be considered the shady practice.
>>
>>109061873
apple is already doing that
>>
>>109065209
>brew install --cask
Or just whitelist any apps Apple don't want you to use in the privacy options. It's a pain, but the option is there.
>>
>>109065231
and even if you do those xattr shit there are attributes you just can't use without a dev account
for example using the default keychain
>>
>>109065238
Why the fuck would you need to do that just to install unsigned apps when you can already whitelist anything?
>>
>>109065171
I sincerely doubt any such laws exist

It means you manually installing programs not using some gay storefront like apple, microsoft or google. The main reason they seem to dislike it is it gives them less control i.e. you can install telegram or whatever manually and it doesn't let the stores tell telegram to block the wrongthinkers or else be removed from their store.
>>
>>109065171
oh, well i live in europe but i didnt know there was a monopoly on software lol

>>109065173
nah, i just dont use phones, only pc

>>109065539
but isnt android based on linux as well? cant you just compile all software from source?
>>
>>109065764
>oh, well i live in europe but i didnt know there was a monopoly on software lol
Yes, it's pretty bad, just look at the Epic Fortnight vs Apple case. I hate Epic as a company and wish for their continued demise but they did make some good points about how companies like Apple and Google abuse their monopoly position with their mandatory 30% cut and forcing payments to go via them (another 30% cut every single payment), etc.
>>
>>109065783
I dont keep up with politics and i dont see it be applicable in any software. Guess all can learn a lesson itt, dont use proprietary software.
>>
>>109065539
I think the main reason they hate it is because it provides alternative apps for people who don't want any google play store/services packages running on their device. Play services is some seriously cucked spyware and if you don't wanna deal with it, you're basically fucked since most apps will shit themselves without it. Jump on f-droid and you can replace like 95% of them without needing their cucked spyware and those alternatives have no ads or outright block ads like all the youtube front ends.

>>109065539
>>109064666
Yeah there's gotta be a more intuitive term than this shit
>>
>>109065339
when i write my own shit and i don't want the creds to be unencrypted
or when i compile shit from github that's meant to be a proper app with proper paid dev attributes
>>
>>109066175
I write all the apps I use and the ones I can't I just use Vanadium to log into the actual sight.
Not a single google in site.
>>
>>109061873
if you use a repository or a store to install stuff then you're not 'sideloading'
>>
>>109065968
"Pirate" would probably be a better term in 90% of cases, though there are of course legitimate reasons to sideload.
>>109065845
The main reason they hate it is because people sideload apps they didn't pay for. And even if they *did* somehow pay for it, Google/Apple wouldn't get their cut since it didn't go through their store.
