Has 'sideloading' taken on some other connotation that I'm not aware of? (It wouldn't be the first time.) I thought it was just a neutral term meaning you didn't download it, you didn't upload it, you sideloaded it - you transferred the binaries from some other device nearby and connected by (probably) USB cable. Perhaps after using said device to do the downloading part. I think that concept came from Android though, so if anybody succeeded in warping our perceptions, it was Google this time!
