    sideloading is not a thing. it is Just a word to make you feel guilty about installing software from other sources than the proprietary store. I wish journalists wouldn’t use this term anymore

    And I am that much closer to moving to a phone running Nura

    I have already been looking up what apps I can replace things with and teaching myself to use command line Monero wallets so that I can continue using Monero even with no graphical wallet available yet.

    If I get a new device in 2027 or 2028, then I will have abandoned Android after running it for something like 14 or 15 years.
