At least Android is open source and doesn't restrict sideloading. Even if you don't like the Google version, you can always install something like GrapheneOS.

- jwells89 3y agoOpen source with big asterisk. AOSP grows more anemic by the day as more and more of the Android that ships on consumer devices becomes proprietary, even on Google devices. While custom ROMs exist you’re then at the mercy of cat and mouse hacks to evade security checks from bank apps and the like, something that many don’t have the time or energy for.
- malermeister 3y agoAgreed. It's a very unfortunate development, but it's still better than in Apple land, where it's just fully proprietary.
