Side loading as a term makes complete sense because you're using side channels to load it. It doesn't have a negative connotation, it's an accurate term.

- friedman23 5y agoSide loading doesn't have a negative connotation? Just a quick search on side loading and I see a million articles on how side loading only benefits criminals. Meanwhile I just side loaded chrome on my new macbook, whoops.
- rezonant 5y agoIt's only accurate because they made the "non-side ways" loading the one true method. On Windows, Linux and Mac OS side loading is just called "installing", and it isn't demonized. There's good reasons to lock down by default for the "average" user, but making it impossible to escape that lock down without modifying your software elicitly is silly at best and deleterious at worst.
