It's not sideloading and it never was
Brent Simmons, Why NetNewsWire Is Not a Web App:
All software is precarious
Over the last couple years, I replaced my Mac-only applications with alternatives that are available for both Mac and Linux. The first and biggest switch was using Firefox, and I’m really satisfied with it. I felt like Mozilla’s history in creating a browser for Linux meant I should just jump into whatever Mozilla was offering, including the bookmarking and read-later service Pocket.
A New Minimalism
In my 20’s, the only tech I owned was an iMac computer, Nexus 5 smartphone, Nintendo Wii, and a TV set. I had this setup in part because I was broke and moving around a lot, but I was also a minimalist.
Future Garbage
It was The Great Raspberry Pi Shortage of 2021, and also a global pandemic that claimed the lives of millions of people. Busying myself with trivial things, I made a retro video game system out of a Raspberry Pi 4. It was so much fun that I wanted to buy another one, but any available Raspberry Pi was being flipped for many times the retail price.
My New Seven Year Old Laptop
I bought a laptop on Craigslist because I wanted an inexpensive entry into trying Linux. I’m weaning myself off of the planned obsolescence of consumer technology. And I’m preparing for a future where all of my computers are second-hand.
