That’s always my trigger, fucking ‘sideloading’. Jesus christ it’s installing shit. Installing. There was never a need for such a pissy horrible concept in the firstplace, a bootlicking special if there ever was one
It’s like “jaywalking”. It purely exists to bully and discriminate against pedestrians and declare the streets belong to the cars. That’s what you get when you have big ass corporations do the lobbying.
Dude you don’t get to decide what I’m angry about. The term is extremely inaccurate, you don’t sideload shit on your computer, right? It’s yours. I don’t sideload shelves, I put them on my wall. So I’d say the offensive part is that somebody who gets my money gets to decide if I own something.
Sideloading doesn’t mean it’s unsigned. F-droid apps are signed for example. Sideloading just means “it doesn’t pay neo-feudal taxes to either of the two duopolist lords”.

Sideloading isn’t a ticket-able offense. It’s just a name for a thing we are all within our rights to do. That’s not really comparable.
Now “jailbreaking” is a term I definitely take issue with as the language straight up makes people question the legality.
Originally jaywalking also wasn’t a ticketable offense. Do you know the origin of this term? That’s the parent poster’s point.
Does sideloading incur a fine?
Can you be arrested for it?
If the answers are “no” and “no” then there’s no parallel with jaywalking and there’s nothing to debate.
The answer is “currently no”, and that might change. Just like with jaywalking.
Dude the stakes are way too low for you to be so angry about this lol.The term isn’t even inaccurate or confusing or offensive or something.

You seem… hinged…
Probably because “installing unsigned code from an unknown source” is a mouthful. Installing means “from within the walled garden” on these devices.
Ah yes, let me sideload a 3rd party web browser onto my PC.
Gonna sideload a browser while I mainload my game
Gonna sideload cocaine while I mainline heroin.
