I don't support the apple walled garden either

Sure you don't

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I genuinely don't. It is one of the reasons I use Android is third party stores like Fdroid.

"apple shouldn't have backed down" despite them being clearly far more evil is literally supporting the apple walled garden

Supporting one action does not mean I support everything they do.

If epic was serious they should build their own store for IOS instead of rejoining the existing store.

That’s what they are trying to do though. Apple killed off their developer account, which is still required to create a third party store.

If they were serious they would probably put out their own hardware. Samsung comes with the Samsung store on their phones. Valve made the Steam Deck to try to push SteamOS/Linux adoption.

I don't care about epic at all. They don't impact a fraction of the number of people/lives. Apple impacts a fuck load. They need to stop being a monopoly whether Satan himself has to do anything to change that or whomever else could

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would be the best outcome.

But they're both bad tho! Nuance and or degrees of badness aren't things!
