My GF has no idea how to administrate her phone, she has an android, and certainly doesn't side load apps, install them from websites or use an alternative app store.
She wouldn't know how to do those things, so this point seems kinda moot.
- tgragnato 6y agoOnly someone who never tried to compile AOSP can write seriously that "Android is open source". That the platforms are open source is a moot point too.
- BiteCode_dev 6y agoI don't talk about open source anywhere in my comment. I'm simply noting that those "dangerous features" are, practically, only accessible to the people that are tech saavy enough to understand the risks. So the "it's to protect the innocent" argument doesn't seem to hold well.
- tgragnato 6y agoI agree with you. My sentence thinks over the top comment and the one you are replying to, both highlight irrelevant factual positions. Both are interesting details for techies, but in the real world they have no practical value.
