       Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps:* enable developer options* confirm that you are not tricked* restart phone and re-authenticate* wait one day* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever* confirm that you accept the risks* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with thishttps://goo.gle/advance-flow

       They even have a video up where they try to make this all sound nice and positive:

       I wonder how many perfectly good laptops are thrown away each year, just because they are full of dust and dirt.

       @nullfame @fdroidorg do you really think we would hide something as essential as updates from the new version? Updates for your apps will be shown in "My Apps" if available.

       @Lioh It sure felt good, but is doom scrolling F-Droid maybe also an addictive anti-pattern that gave you endorphins when suddenly something new popped up? Maybe we need to build more chilled tech that just does its job. You can still force-update individual repos, if you really need to.

       @Lioh I'd say use the new app for a week and then let me know how much you are  really missing it.
