    I understand and agree with your sentiment, but try explaining how ”developer mode" does not make you a developer to my Grandma.

    It’s the same b.s. optics that invented “sideloading” as some technically shady practice, when it has always been: just installing the stupid app.

      Maybe your grandma who doesn’t understand that, shouldn’t be installing unverified apps without someone like yours guidance? That’s not a hard concept if they’re going as far as installing something else not from a store.

        You’d still need “developer mode” to install f-droid or epic games apk.

        People shouldn’t be scared or intimidated out of installing non-google store fronts.

        …but yes, Grandma should avoid random apks pulled from the internet.
