This is so simple. The second group of people don't jump through the many hoops that stand in the way of sideloading.

I deny the existence of a group of people that need to be protected by totally eliminating non-Google-mediated apps.

Are they hoping to breed an entire sinister species?
Under natural conditions, this mutation dies out immediately.
Humans have always helped along lots of weird mutations, but usually there's something in it for us.

The NES had hardware sprites, 64-color graphics, and 5 sound channels, at a time when PCs had a monophonic beeping internal speaker, and no graphics mode with more than 16 colors.
Arcade games were still very much a thing, because no home system (except the Amiga, arguably) could match their graphics and sound.

The Department of Education has never had anything to do with people reading for fun, pro or con.
Yes, the administration's bad, but there's no need to make up more bad things.

I loved being able to type in a string of text and get links to web pages that included that string.

"Personality" and interpersonal relationships don't require badmouthing colleagues or clients in official meetings.

I really have no idea why big banks have any small customers.
If you're just a person, or maybe even a small business, the big commercial banks offer you no value.
I joined a local credit union when I saved up some lawn-mowing money about age 11. It's the only financial institution I've ever needed.

Savings, checking, CDs, car loans, mortgage. ATMs, credit card, debit card when that became a thing, online banking when that became a thing.
I even used Zelle on the credit union website to send a coworker money a few years ago.
It requires a special kind of ignorance to keep paying the fees and living with the restrictions of those big banks.

Private and public are opposites.
What you do in public view is observable (and recordable, and publishable) by others.
Want to keep your affair private? Do it in private.
That's the real meaning of privacy.

Yes, unsustainable student loans. People have been telling us this, and some of us haven't been listening.

Why would the year 2038 problem cause trouble for booting this on a 32-bit system?
Would some time calculation make a difference?

Use a de-googled ROM.
That requires you to choose a compatible device to begin with.

My laptop triple-boots FreeBSD, Manjaro Linux, and OpenBSD, with Plasma 6 on all three.
I admit I spend most of my time on FreeBSD, but it's great to have Plasma working so well on OpenBSD.

Use a Google-free ROM, and don't install the proprietary Google apps.
If you must have compatible libraries for the sake of some proprietary apps, the microG Project has substitutes for most of them.

Don't connect your printer to the Internet.

I have a Brother printer much older than the ones with these bugs.
It connects to my Wi-Fi, but it has no Internet features whatsoever.

I already have a wristwatch. It cost me $8 at Walmart and never needs to be recharged.
I have no reason or desire to wear two watches.
