@mcnado@mstdn.social I love US politics, every side screams at the other about destroying democracy and stolen elections, while both parties day after day show how they don't care about their voters. It's so fun to watch from across the ocean.

@emilymbender@dair-community.social Yes, everything is more enshitified and more expensive. The only thing that is better are their profits.

@Amoshias@esq.social @benroyce@mastodon.social it means nothing, because it's overused by many people, especially here.

@permafriday@indieweb.social @keepandroidopen@techhub.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr What about the flow that allows unverified apps after waiting 24h once?

@Epic_Null@infosec.exchange @permafriday@indieweb.social @keepandroidopen@techhub.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr Slippery slope here is a fallacy. Google is a monopoly, they could just block software outside of their store and ignore the outrage, because there are no alternatives. They can do it right now. There is no reason to do it step by step like that.

@Epic_Null@infosec.exchange @permafriday@indieweb.social @keepandroidopen@techhub.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr

Infrastructurally, they don't have the tools

Conjecture. They have. There is no technical reason to not block it all immediately. They would've just not implement the 24h workaround.

And PR? It's in the shitter anyway in our community. And the market for apps from outside the ecosystem is a rounding error for them. They can ignore it. 99.9% of users won't notice anything.

@Epic_Null@infosec.exchange @permafriday@indieweb.social @keepandroidopen@techhub.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr Current solution doesn't block installing through adb at all.

@Epic_Null@infosec.exchange @quasirealsmiths@beige.party @permafriday@indieweb.social @keepandroidopen@techhub.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr Google is not a singular person. Some people will make bad decisions, some good. The main driver for Google is money. They are doing this to look like they care about grandpas being scammed to look more trustworthy and get more money. If they didn't ban installing outside the store outright, it means there is no reason for them to do it. You slippery slope fallacy can be used against any law, because any law can be a first step to full autocratic government. You need a solid facts to make that argument. This is not the case in this matter, because they can just block those apps like Apple does. To answer your question more directly: No corporation is trustworthy.

@ariaflame@masto.ai @mcnado@mstdn.social you don't have to virtue signal it though

@benroyce@mastodon.social Anybody naming the other side of the political spectrum "fascist" is not really worth listening to. It applies to using "communist" too btw. These words mean nothing at this point.

@benroyce@mastodon.social Did you not catch my original comment? I'm not from US, but from Poland, in Europe. Im neither MAGA or democrat. I don't like both and I don't like your country in general (government, not people, to be clear) like most Europeans for some time now. There is no reason for you to be that aggressive.

@benroyce@mastodon.social your behavior is not normal. I'm reporting you. You clearly need a break from the internet. Go touch grass.

@HailsandAles@metalhead.club Eat less, not more. Make burgers smaller, not bigger. My campaign is better.

@RegGuy@mstdn.social @benroyce@mastodon.social go away freak

@ExtinctionR@social.rebellion.global Pff, ads should be banned altogether. Not only the ones some random person arbitrarly hates.

@donaldball@triangletoot.party @mcnado@mstdn.social both*

@donaldball@triangletoot.party you have used a lot of words to say nothing. For some reason economical situation in US is getting constantly worse and which side is currently in the power isn't affecting that.
