    That didn’t answer my question.

    Sideloading just means you’re installing apps from outside the first party app store. Im not sure where youre getting the shame and discrediting from.

      It did, you just did not accept the answer. Installing apps is just installing apps, regardless of its source. That’s it. Sideloading, just like jaywalking, makes it sound like you are doing something dangerous, something forbidden, something you should not do. The whole locking down of operating systems is to take control away from the user.

        No. It didn’t. You just repeated the same statement with no explanation or justification.

        Installing apps is just installing apps, regardless of its source.

        You’re mad that a term exists that specifies their source?

        Sideloading, just like jaywalking, makes it sound like you are doing something dangerous, something forbidden, something you should not do.

        …how? Honestly this sounds like something you made up in your head. I don’t understand why you refuse to answer the question.

        The whole locking down of operating systems is to take control away from the user.

        I don’t understand what that has to do with this conversation.

          Maybe look for someone else, because I really don’t have the time nor motivation for delusional internet arguments with willfully obtuse people.
