Petition to stop Google from restricting sideloading and FOSS apps
Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45050502
Apple has way too much power over apps and I really believe that they will push this further as long as they can. We do have alternative stores in the EU now, but what are they worth if Apple still has a say over them? It's ridiculous. And Google wants to do the same thing next year, requiring all devs to be verified. What a mess. #apple #google #ios #android

I don't know which genius at #Google thought it was a good idea that swiping the right side of the screen on #Android goes 'Back'
It's so sensitive that I accidently go back several times a day. What's the gesture to go forward? Who knows?!
You can disable swiping actions, but that disables everything and swiping from the left of the screen to go back is actually useful (and the same as iPhone) and never accidentally triggered.

I purchase my phone. It's a device I physically own. Why should any company have a say what programs I can run on it and which not? I chose Google for their openness and ability to run anything I want. Now they take it away. Is there anywhere to go, though? #sideloading #google #android

#Google making it so that people cannot run their own code in Android without registering as developers with them is a new low point IMHO.
