"oh my God. Oh dear. No. Not 24 hours before I can install f-droid. I'm crippled. Wasting away to nothingness. My edgelord life is ruined. I'm never going to leave the basement again. This one day has ruined anything worth living for. Bleeeeaaagh"
I'm glad you like the taste of boot leather, I don't. Quislings giving away their rights left and right.
I just don't mind a days worth of unconvince fir something that I know for a fact will end up helping some people. Waiting a single day to install whatever I want is a non issue and is better than the OS getting further locked down from apk permissions. It's already bad enough that there's so many root restrictions you can't really get around anymore.
This is the OS getting further locked down.
Not really.
Yes, it explicitly fucking is. Google doesn't need to be involved in what I install on my devices
