The coercion is the problem. You are free to buy any phone you want, but want to coerce other men into doing what you want. It’s immoral.

- Moldoteck 3y agoi'm not forcing you to sideload. It's immoral to not own your device fully, not being able to install what you want, even if it can hurt you if you don't have the skills is also immoral

I don't expect sideload/firmware replace to be safe/easy, but I expect to be able to do this on things I own
