even with sideloading, apk's needs to be installed using adb. using normal user interface enforces google's totalitarianism .... control.

i don't like to downplay f-droid efforts, or spread pessimism.still, my unfortunate opinion. android starts to be lost cause, too much gooish google in it, like there is apple control in apple devices.
it is not just closed google components, it is android ecosystem and api's in general. alphabet inc controls android too much.
of course, delaying destruction of open android is still beneficial for short term.

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him.@anneapplebaum
"the last straw"how many last straws? which last straw? how many will come?
i think first impeachment vote was enough.
my prognosis is not very optimistic.

77 million voted for this, and approximately 80 million did not vote at all.more or less, these voters knew what they voted for or let it happen.
"Will Republicans in Congress ever step in?"
my guess is, no. even if republicans stop this orange nightmare, i give only partial pass, stopping should have happened far earlier.
