    Today I can just give a store like droid store permissions… In future it will require 24h… Or ot install with adb… This is a big step backwards.

    That said I’ve concluded the phone is now a device for accessing approved things… For things I own its Linux PC/laptop/mini laptop acting like a table… I guess my supernote reader is an android 8 device but its more limited use cases and they are going back to Linux too…

    The phone is work access, bank access, and a browser… I wish this didn’t need to be a semi dedicated device but here we are.
