    This is being presented as more doom laden than is warranted. Ostensibly it is an effort to stop less technically able users from installing malware, certainly there will be unspoken ulterior motivations but such is the world we have allowed to grow around us. As far as overarching evil plans go this is quite a benign example.

      Yeah this was bound to happen at some point, the state of the App Store currently is just garbage.

      Plus it’s not like this can’t be circumvented, you just have to go through a process and wait 24 hours once, not every time.

        It’s not about linux knowledge, but having 21 gullible readers who think google will not further the limitations

        You are catching it now too, but such is the way of it. People do not want levelled counter views and debate they want to scream bloody villainy and evil doings and then disappear into the crowd when everything turns out fine. And do it all in the name of free speech, as long as its only their speech of course.
