@bill88t@c.im I understand your point, yes I suppose this would overall be an improvement in the land of malware. I wonder how much of that malware sits in PlayStore or is distributed through ads shown in apps installed from PlayStore, or ads shown on YouTube etc...
I think like me not getting malware on my phone is 95% thanks to me fighting to have it free of a(i)ds. I am sorry to be freeloading some online services which are paid for by advertisers. I guess I should pay for YouTube Premium...

@bill88t@c.im Wow, what instance lets you posts toots like this. That's like a genuine blog post length. I have to segment my reply :P Anyway - the time gap is probably the best way to make people reconsider installing something stupid and also preventing scammers from taking over their device while on a phone call or something. On the other hand these changes will make using FDroid harder, and I think normies should be allowed to use F-Droid without being nagged and screamed at.
