    Why do you hate property rights?

    Because that’s what your argument actually boils down to: utter and complete contempt for users’ property rights. You’re advocating for subjugating them to corporations as technofeudal serfs.

    You know this to be true.

      You’ve made up some things there. My concern is that the OP is a poor argument for the point it’s trying to make. Not sure where you invented the rest of that bullshit from.

        I didn’t make up a damn thing. You clearly and obviously hate property rights. That’s the only reason you could possibly justify trying to take them away from people. Just admit it.

        Claiming that corporations – not governments, corporations, which is why your catalytic converter analogy was bullshit BTW – need to self-servingly restrict people in the name of “protecting” them is fucking dishonest and you know it.

          Cool, I never claimed anything even close to what you just vomited out. Here’s what I did say, though:

          The problem I take is with the argument the OP presents, because it incorrectly suggests that the average user has (or should have) an expert-level knowledge of their devices. Safety rails exist for a reason. Yes, they’re going too far; but no, removing them outright would not be the better solution.

          That’s all I was claiming, my guy. Go find your “gotcha” moment somewhere else, because it ain’t here.

            What’s being discussed here isn’t “safety rails,” though. Why are you lying?

            Android already had “safety rails,” which is why installing from sources other than the Play Store was called “sideloading” and not just “loading.” What’s happening now is that Google is turning those barriers against the users and building a cage to imprison them instead.

            People need to understand how fucking despicable and beyond the pale this shit actually is, yet you’re making excuses for it instead. What the fuck.

              Yes, you’ve identified that there are multiple rails. Arguably, too many. It’s almost like I pointed that out already.

              Yes, they’re going too far

              Are you illiterate or just trolling?

                I don’t know where you think you wrote that, but it wasn’t in this comment chain. Are you expecting me to go hunting through your user page or something? You are not fucking entitled to call me “illiterate” for responding to what you actually wrote here and not being clairvoyant!

                If anything, you’re the one who’s [concern] trolling here, playing devil’s advocate for Google.

                  Nope, right here in this thread, chief. Nearly an hour before you even chimed in. Not my fault you didn’t read the comments before getting on your soapbox. Begone, clown.

                    Not my fault you don’t understand the difference between “thread” and “comment chain.” Who’s illiterate now?

                    Moreover, who the fuck do you think you are? You’re not entitled to expect people to read anything but direct replies. You’re just not that important.
