    I don’t give a shit about steps, I can follow steps. Nor do I give a shit about 24 hour cooldown when the flipside is having the phone completely neutered.

    And don’t get me wrong, I’m infuriated that they even considered it. In my opinion side loading is a basic phone feature and not having it is disabling.

    But… they’re not removing it, and they sure as fuck didn’t get away with it. They got immense backlash and now they’re listening to the community, as they should.

    This is an enormous win for the future of sideloading (which, let me remind you, almost just got killed on every Android phone) and I’m happy it’s living to see another day.
