I’m aware that the prevailing opinions on hacker news support side loading, just as I’m aware the the prevailing opinion among the general public is they don’t care about it, and likely don’t even know what it is. However these opinions have no influence over the factual compromises that these changes make to security controls. Currently if I gave you my iPhone and my PIN code, and asked you to install malware on it, you wouldn’t be able to. The fact that you’re making some appeal to the opinions of the community rather than engage with these facts shows the strength of your argument (in addition to the general childishness of your comments).
