I respect people's right to use apple products, but please stop asserting "privacy", big corps doesn't give a shit.

you can make your point without ableism, you know

also, has anyone (at least here on lemmy) said "well at least apple cares about privacy!!"? the most ive seen is "apple is less atrocious with privacy than google", which is demonstrably true (tho if you care about maximum privacy, using an iphone is obviously not a good idea)

That it's not "optimal" to use quotation "marks". What do you "think"?

Not "non-approved apps", unsigned apps. They're not running approval on the software itself. And technically you can still sideload signed software. And you can sideload unsigned software in non-Google certified Android devices, too.

Hey, I hate their stupid power grab, it sucks and I hope regulators intervene, but if you're gonna get all pretentious and uppity about everybody else's responses you're gonna get fact checked. I don't make the rules.

Assuming there will still be a way for devs to run apps without store BS. Won't this just push users to run the apps the same way? All they're threatening with is that they will no longer provide updates or security screening or something, which will be even better for backward compatibility. If this forces enough users to learn enough devops just this once to enter the paradise that is free from corporate security theatre you bet your ass they're not going back

I don't quite get the hierarchy, Linux phones have FOSS software, and greater device capability and software support compared to dumb phones. They should be ranked above dumb phones.
