It’s not side loading. It’s installing software on the device you probably paid multiple thousands for that you no longer own.
Multiple thousands!? No phone isn't worth that much. Bloody marketing brainwashing people into accepting exorbitant prices for everything.
Multiple thousands!? My phone was like $250
not all people are americans
That's multiple thousands in some countries
Lol same, I spent $250 on a used pixel 8, threw grapheneos on it the day I got it. Honestly my dream scenario right now is that sailfish let's me just purchase a sailfish X license for a community port
Congratulations!
