️ This is sadly very important ️ Please share and be aware of that – in the worst case – you will NO LONGER be able to side-load apps from individuals/organizations like f-droid if they are not an Google-approved publisher/developer!

️ This could already happen this year in Sept. 2026 ️@davx5app@fosstodon.org @fdroidorg@floss.social A small suggestion: We should not be using their propaganda term. We're not "side-loading" anything, we're installing programs on our own hardware. Calling it side loading plays into their narrative that we're doing something we shouldn't with our devices. It makes our battle harder, because the average non-techy user will hear side-loading and think it's something subversive and ignore us as we try to convince them this is a bad thing for Google to block.
