I hear you but Apple's stance on these issues also stops something like an F-droid Iphone equivalent.

I guarantee you Google is taking notes.

Don't think android could get away with doing something like this. The biggest company in the space (Samsung) has been pretty firm and intense about the samsung app store

I'm closer and closer to getting rid of all proprietary software/hardware. Waiting patiently for my Sony and Fitbit to die out so I can replace them with literally anything but Android, preferably something that works with GadgetBridge.

😂I’m waiting for my iPhone X to die as well

What replacements are you looking at for the Fitbit?

But that's not why Mr. Out-of-touch Swedish Billionaire is grumpy.

Was that a possibility before the changes?

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Not these ones specifically but that's why I said, "these issues." The way they run their app store and their stance on sideloading is all coming from the same anti-competitive strategy.

It has always been a possibility but apple's business model is "be the biggest monopolistic piece of shit possible" so that's always going to override anything but a law that forces them to not be a monopolistic piece of shit, something the EU attempted here, but apple made sure to find a way to say they're following the law while simultaneously flouting it as hard as possible
