I’m not a fan of fucking with established terms, but I do wish news orgs would start consistently using the phrase “installing [uncertified/unapproved/non-vetted/unverified] software”.
the term is used to smear installing from outside the play store, which is why i hate it. just part of their thing to manufacture consent for taking over our computing.
i’m partial to “installing from outside the play store”, “unsanctioned by google”. or simply just “installing”.

I mean, you originally had to load them from the side via USB tether and adb. They just used the original term for something else.
