   Google says YOU must wait 24 hours if you download an app onto your OWN DEVICE if it's from an "Unverified developer". What ever happened to user choice and Android freedom?! 😡

   Google has started rolling out its new ""Advanced Flow", which requires you to wait a 24-hour waiting period if you want to install apps from unverified developers.

     @Tutanota What Gooogle says don't mean jack shit to me. II walked away from Android nd carry Linux devices. There's a lot of things I've gotten fed up with and more and more of my devices are just specifically configured Linux computers of various form factors, cause I've fucking had enough of their bullshit!

     *I AM* sudo and there's not a fucking thing Google, Microsoft, or fucking Apple can do about it!

     @Walruths @Tutanota Eh, I just stoped carrying a smartphone (well, ALMOST... I'm missing a decent USB dongle to complete the transition). An itty bitty laptop, a data sim, and a voip line. I'm good.
