We did it everyone!

@Tutanota i haven't seen any news on this yet but i hope its true.

@starvaldD @Tutanota There's a good video from @josh about this "win" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSUW3y4v_w4

It's great that there's a work around, but the steps to get the ability to install software are stupid.

@Tutanota we haven't won anything yet....

[leberschnitzel@existiert.ch]

@Tutanota that's bullshit. Going two steps back one step forward still makes you go backwards.
This has been a tactic for some time now: make outrageous changes, people complain, changes get rolled back to something that's still outrageous but less, and the complainers see it as a win.
We're incredibly past acceptable because of this.

@Tutanota not a win at all. It fails to achieve stated goal - scammer apps in appstore keep popping up, and this measure does not change it. It has very different intent.
Imagine you do add-apt-repository, and your machine screams that you might be in mortal danger and now you're on your own, then asks you to wait for 24h. That is what they did to android.

@guyincognito @Tutanota @josh Thanks will watch later.

@Tutanota
Sorry, but no. Submitting to abuser's terms is not a victory. "Things aren't the worst" is not a definition of victory.

@Tutanota wow, I didn't expect that!

@Tutanota@mastodon.social source?

[gokushrm@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota how?

@Tutanota "We did it everyone! We forced Google not to be evil."

WTF drugs are you guys on?

At this point, you're looking to be supporting this s#*t by suggesting it is anything but awful news.

@Tutanota how long until banking software checks you haven't turned this on?
