It’s probably called sideloading because historically you weren’t downloading from an app store but instead transferring from your computer. The term itself is ancient sh.itjust.works/comment/23484915

I remember we called it a hook.

I remember the on-hook and off-hook commands, and I remember calling the cradle that old land lines sat on/in being called the hook. When was the tether called the hook?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not being rhetorical here as a gotcha. My memory just ain’t what she used to be and I’d like to remember.

I just remembered one of the first “apps” on my android eris was a hook. It let me plug my phone into my laptop and use my mobile data on the pc. Thats all i remembered.
