As an idea, what about allowing the 24 hours to be bypassed using adb (edit: bypass to allow indefinitely, not just install a single app)?

I understand there is some problem trying to be solved here, but honestly this is still quite frustrating for legitimate uses. If this is the direction that computing is moving, I'd really rather there were separate products available for power users/devs that reflected our different usage.

Right, if this is being built into AOSP I dont see how they wouldn't add an adb command to immediately skip the "Advanced Flow" wait. if it's safe to let uses run "adb install", then "adb skip-advanced-flow" should be just as safe to do too.

As an idea, what about letting me install on my own device whatever I want?

This is ridiculous. Google is trying to dismantle the concept of ownership and personal autonomy. Do not give them any ground.

I'm surprised but happy to see you and so many others here saying this. In recent years it seemed like this 'hacker' community was all about Apple devices, but now that Google is going partway in the same direction, people aren't all just taking it.

Do you think there's two groups, and the people that cared simply went with Android and so there was never this outcry about installing free software on iOS, or that this will last only as long as the change still feels recent and like a new restriction?

iPhone users generally decided against owning the pocket computer full of sensors — that they carry around with them everywhere, put all their private data into, that they use to participate in society and that they use to inform themselves — when they bought an iPhone. Some of these people just do not see a smartphone as a computer but as a limited purpose device and do have an actual computer that they care to own. Most do not.

This is already how it works.
