Why is everyone so upset about the term sideloading. It’s not “denormalizing”, the “normal” way for your average joe is using the app store. Y’all need to take a step back and be aware that the average lemmy user is by far more tech savvy than your average smartphone user. And of course it’s not a term used in the context of windows or Linux, because the normal way there simply allows installations.

And installing from an APK isn't normal?
