Apple blocks PC emulator from being available in iOS App Store and third-party app stores : apple

[–] [email protected] 77 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is it a third-party app store if Apple decides what it's allowed to offer?

The EU will absolutely take issue with this. What they’ve done is beyond the scope of the law … again.

a piece of paper doesn't matter if theres no enforcement.

from the law enforcement or the implementation itself.

@neme I like how the devs were like “eh, it’s not even that good of an app, whatever”

Yeah well because Apple doesn't allow JIT compilation, so the performance would've sucked anyway.

I’d guess Windows for Arm would perform fine though.

Give up all your data to google. You are the product.

Who said I ever signed into Google?

This phone has never been signed into any accounts on the Android OS level, I've never activated location services, and I don't even have a SIM card.

I run WiFi only, with alternate app stores and the ability to transfer apps from one phone to another by copying APK installer files.

Not every Android user is totally stuck to Google.

Believes he isn’t a product. Cute. But you’re full of it and a troll.

Most Apple users want the “cage” for its near-mindless security and privacy. I used to troubleshoot and diagnose PCs all day. I got tired of managing my HTC Windows phone in 2008 and went to iPhone. It’s similar to running Windows Home for the smaller attack surface than Pro, or trading admin for user rights. I love not having to worry about the reliability, privacy, or security maintenance of my daily driver.

the privacy is illusory. apple collaborates with the nsa

I spend all day dealing with computer issues. I never have to deal with iPhone problems. It just works.

Says a lot about the sorry state of Android doesn’t it?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago

I know. It’s Amazing the bullshit we’ll put up with to avoid having to use Android…

I was wondering why you were downvoted, until I saw the name of the sub.
Apple users are definitely in a cage, but apparently they won't even acknowledge it.
I'm not saying the phones aren't good otherwise, but using Apple is an obvious sacrifice of digital freedom.

100% I was one of those hardcore Apple fanboys until I realised it’s turning into a cult. I stopped defending and criticising Apple and it’s policies a long time ago, even though I use iPhone and android.
