    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.

                  Just chiming in to say that everyone that reads this deep thread is going to think you’re the clown and not the other way around. If you think otherwise you need to do some introspection.

                    If that’s their takeaway, then they can hop into the clown car, too. I’m not gonna just let people make shit up about what I did or didn’t say, and I’m gonna call it out when it happens. If that’s an issue for you, well I believe there’s actually a deceptively large amount of space in that car.
