> Saying there is no opt-out is just false

I can't see where one can opt-out of this new behavior and into the existing behavior, only a description of the new behavior's bypass (which is not the same thing at all)

> easy to bypass the cooling-off period with ADB

I don't think this is a reasonable use of the term "easy". I should be able to give my non-technical friend an apk and they can use it right then, with the one "are you very sure" screen.

ADB is not the only option. Do the 24hs wait then the experience will not be much different than what already happens today: https://imgur.com/a/Z9hoYIh

Unfortunately that is the same vector that scammers use to drain people's bank accounts

I will say, an underrated use case for even small, local LLMs is making command line tools drastically more accessible to laypeople

I now know zero people I don't think should use linux, and people I know seems to run quite a gamut of technical know-how compared to most other technical folks I know

The way you give your non-technical friends an APK and they just install it is by you signing it.

I don't understand this, the ability to bypass new behavior in settings menus is basically the defenition of a new feature having an opt-out. Can you elaborate?
