        Bro did you want them to ban it? A one-time 24 hour wait is literally nothing compared to having 0 viable phones on the market where you can sideload.

        Am I tripping? How is this not good news?

          You purchased something. Then the company you purchased from announces they’re taking away features from you after the fact. Then they announce that they’ll give it back partially if you waste your time and do all sorts of steps.

          You see this as a win? With attitudes like this, no wonder companies feel they can get away with anything.

        I bought an Android specifically because iPhone doesn’t allow sideloading. If Android bans sideloading, there’s no viable options left until Linux phone develops to a usable state.

        The win is that they’re not banning sideloading, obviously. Personally I don’t gaf if I gotta wait 24 hours as long as you can do it.
