It appears that the “security wait” will be a one time thing when you first allow installing from unverified sources. After enabling it it will remain on indefiniately. Not quite as bad as I was fearing, but will kinda annoying.

It used to be no time at all. You could just do it. From that perspective they’ve already taken a mile.

I mean, it always starts with an inch but what people dont get is that compared to the 2000's we are a mile deep and compared to rhe 80's we are already in a dystopia.

Well if you're in the US you can head down to your LGS, buy a Glock 19 and do some plinking while you wait for the software to install on your phone :/

>A one day wait period to install an app on your mobile pocket computer. And that somehow supposed to stop users from inflicting their phones with virus software? Like, it does not make sense. Okay, force all devs to upload their IDs, no biggie (I guess). But do not lock users into the "tough luck, you cant sideload" system. 1 day wait will not prevent anything. They just added a mild annoyance for 24h, nothing more.

One day wait period to enable installing third party apps. Afterwards no extra wait time or verification.

I think it is a reasonable compromise. They could have made it a day wait for any and every time you wanted to side load like this. It prevents accidental or malicious activation, while also giving you the feature you want with the smallest of roadblocks as confirmation you want it. And you only have to do it one time. I don’t think it’s the burden you do.
