Was Linux more reliable before the repository/"app store" model made it so any jeet can sneak their uncommented gangescode into an otherwise benign piece of software or driver? heh

A lazy descendant of an ape finds it convenient to make a machine think and work, while being lazy himself. Perhaps laziness is programmed into humans, laziness is saving resources of body. Official science believes that the human brain consumes a lot of resources.

Jeets aren't human.

Biologically, they are humans. Even a gypsy woman who wants to hypnotize, take a guy to a gypsy camp and sell him as a thrall to a brick factory or a farm is a human. She's just a vicious person.

You think too highly of humans.

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

ndroid's open nature set it apart from the iPhone as the era of touchscreen smartphones began nearly two decades ago. Little by little, Google has traded some of that openness for security, and its next security initiative could make the biggest concessions yet in the name of blocking bad apps. Google has announced plans to begin verifying the identities of all Android app developers, and not just those publishing on the Play Store. Google intends to verify developer identities no matter where they offer their content, and apps without verification won't work on most Android devices in the coming years.

Google used to do very little curation of the Play Store (or Android Market, if you go back far enough), but it has long sought to improve the platform's reputation as being less secure than the Apple App Store. Years ago, you could publish actual exploits in the official store to gain root access on phones, but now there are multiple reviews and detection mechanisms to reduce the prevalence of malware and banned content. While the Play Store is still not perfect, Google claims apps sideloaded from outside its store are 50 times more likely to contain malware.

Still astounds me how normies always believe that the corporations, governments and banks are there for their "safety." Pol Pot didn't genocide enough city normies.
