You realize you’re discounting 98% of the world’s population, right?

I think that the majority of the population can figure out how to stop installing software from untrustworthy sources, seeing as that was pretty much the norm 20 years ago.

Everyone else can put on their loincloths and go back to living in flinstones-esque rock huts.

I think you just made up that number.

  • I did! You’re welcome to make your own estimate of how many people are able to correctly judge when snd what software is safe to install on their phone.

98% of the world population is rooting their phone and installing unsigned binaries? Really?

Are you sure you maybe don't have this the complete opposite way around?

  • I don’t know what you think I wrote, but I wrote that comment about discounting 98% as a reply to:

    > If you can't figure out a computer perhaps you're just unfit to participate in the modern economy.

    • Yes, and in the context of play integrity: this means knowing not to root your phone or install unsigned binaries.

      I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation for the average person. Not sure if you just hang out with oddly stupid people or what, but I don't think this is something we need to enforce with Google.
