As a developer, I will continue to advocate for building on Apple and pushing them to do the right thing. They hold a nontrivial market share of the population who want to use that platform, because they arguably build high quality products and people don’t like change. If it was as easy as getting all Apple users to move over to Android by stopping freedom tech development on Apple platforms, it’d be a no brainer, but it’s not realistic. It’s important to ensure that they have access to freedom tech for the platform they choose to use. I understand it’s an uphill battle, but it’s worthwhile in my opinion.
i fully understand your plight and i do think it's a worthy cause, i also think that apple doesn't understand anything beyond their bottom line. i feel that if you can't affect their wallet, they don't care. i honestly and truly do wish you the best of luck trying to build freedom technology inside a hostile environment. you are the resistance.
We all have a role to play. Some people move to where more freedom already is, others stay and work to bring more freedom to where they are. Neither is a more or less important part of the experiment of freedom.
One side shows us how to handle freedom once we have it, and serve as examples and study cases for the others. The other side builds from the best ideas of the former.
Thank you for doing your part. 🫂
Good luck. IMO this is similar to thinking you're going to push the country to do the right thing by voting harder in the 2024 election.
