Apple allows as much sideloading as google wants to next near.
Yes, you can install from .iPa files, but you still need to pay 100€ a year to be able to sign the IPA files, otherwise you cant run them. as much as with googles new policy you now need to pay 25€ + your full name to get a signature, to sign the Apks with
This ⬆️ Apple has set the lowest bar, and google is simply following the trend of “how to keep your App Store the monopoly while conforming to the dma“
them bringing it up again and again is a very significant problem. Imagine you’re spending time with a girl and asking her to have sex with you. She says “no”, and you simply keep asking her daily until she says “yes” once, probably because she’s just not paying attention to your actual question on that day. Such a behavior would be recognized by most people as being improper, immoral and not in the spirit of “consent”.
Now, the same is happening on the EU. They keep asking the same question after they already got an explicit answer, and such a behavior should be illegal by itself. No means No.
Ah, yeah I don’t like that trend that’s been going on. Or like chatcontrol that somehow seems to find it’s way back despite being shot down again and again.
Apple now allows sideloading of apps and Google is trying to get rid of sideloading.
What… the Fuck?

Now we have to get EU on the case 😀
The EU is no longer an ally in such matters but a bad actor.
Gonna have to elaborate on this because the European union has both good and bad people pulling strings.
If this is about chatcontrol. Scary as it is that the idea keeps coming back it has also always gotten shot down.
True. But it needs to be shot down every time it comes up. For them to succeed, they only need to succeed once.

Why? Because of the chat control stuff?
Forgive my ignorance since I’ve been out if the loop, how have EU switched from being good to bad?
As more countries within the EU shift to right wing governments, the EU as a political body itself will also shift more to the right.

@simsalabim @greenacres3233 EU is first a financial economic project then MAYBE a democratic project but also corrupted by money
afaik only in the EU?
Don’t call it sideloading. Did you watch the video?
Yea but Apple got sued into allowing that
To be fair, they are now both on the same level. Both now allow sideloading from “trusted” sources, aka developers verified by Apple/Google.
