this is so funny.<p>i see a future where ad-filled facebook, ahem, meta operated app store which is heavily subsidized like amazon fire store was in order to extract oh so analytics data on both android and IOS.<p>same for google moving play store over to IOS with the same intentions.<p>my only hope is f-droid will get more attention, it will get better and more resistant to "pressures", same for small projects like aurora store which would not need to hide behind enemy lines<p>question. wouldn't amazon Kindle fall into gatekeeper because they only permit amazon store on their devices and do not allow easy jailbreaking and stuff.?
Lying in behalf of a corporation needs to be a capital crime.<p>Bring back public drawing and quartering. This time, do it in the middle of a stadium and put it on YouTube.
By that narrative, Epic doesn’t want a store.<p>They just want a place for discovery and a way for users to install application on the computer they bought.
If I have a diverging product where it has unique and different features for each platform, is that one product or multiple products with the same name?
I wish apple would just repackage and sell android in the EU. It wasn't bad enough the EU forced the inferior USB-C on the world, now they wanr shitty apps being exposed to people who are paying extra for quality.<p>I don't think ios is more secure but it is reliable and pleasant to use. That's the experience I want and pay for. My prefernece as a consumer is being taken away to appease the ideology of tyrants.<p>It's like with open source how some think every software should be free and opensource, like I use Linux and all but I also like closed source apple and windows. If you want free and open source you have options. If you want phones that let you install arbitrary apk's/apps you have that option but why are you forcing your prefence on others?<p>Tyranny by any other name. As if it would be more acceptable because it is popular when the people with the opinions refuse to vote with their wallets.<p>"Meat is not to be sold at stores because we can't afford it and it offends vegetarians"
