Soon? Phones are already like this, MacOs you have to flip a setting to get things off store. Windows has been flirting with the idea.
- danieldk 6y agoMacOs you have to flip a setting to get things off store. This is false, until recently you could just run any signed application without changing settings. Currently any application that is signed and notarized. (IIRC this only applies when the quarantined bit is set.)

- ivanstojic 6y agoI'm willing to accept more flexibility in my phone because of how I perceive it. My computer has always been a bicycle for the mind. My phone is an assistive device that I use to look at cat photos while waiting in a line. I could not care a rat's ass if I have to replace my cat addiction with taking a paper book along with me. I do very much care for a platform where authors of myriad free/open source software can continue to create.
