I don't think I made myself clear; I am relievd because I thought I was going to lose access to my apps in the next update cycle. The thought of that filled me with anxiety, but now I have more time to prepare.
I'm hoping that something like lineageOS will be unaffected and will be available for my device before Google remove sideloading altogether
Yep, it's pretty bad, it sets a bad precedent, and has me looking for alternatives.
When it was originally announced I got the impression that Google would soon be removing the ability to sideload apps altogether and as I almost entirely use apps installed from "untrusted" sources this would have been a nightmare for me.
So while I think this whole situation is shit, and will almost certainly lead to Google removing the ability to sideload apps in the future, for me the immediate anxiety has been lifted.
It appears that the "security wait" will be a one time thing when you first allow installing from unverified sources. After enabling it it will remain on indefiniately.
Not quite as bad as I was fearing, but will kinda annoying.

Thank you for taking the time to construct such a helpful comment.
I keep seeing posts pop up that I relate to, then I look down and it's from an ADHD community. Either these are experiences everyone has... Or I have undiagnosed ADHD
As a Brit, it's comforting to know that other countries are also sliding towards fascism. At least we won't be alone!

Jellyfin is A-ok for the tech illiterate. I actually think it might be easier to navigate and use because it's a bit more simple than Plex.
I just got back from seeing Moulin Rouge. It was quite good.
I went to Krakov 3 years ago, and from a UK perspective Poland was a relatively cheap travel destination.
