Oddbean new post about login | logout Yeah (and as an Apple user, I’m playing devil’s advocate), isn’t it the epitome of centralised centralisation a company can get? Zaps/Apple store kinda demon-strated this.
Centralization isn’t always bad in my eyes Yes, the App Store is centralized and this zap thing was bullshit. But let’s be honest, how many people are using an alternative App Store on android where it’s possible since day one to install one.
How many people are using bitcoin instead of the dollar? Is that a compelling reason?
yes their tyrannical control of what is allowed on the appstore is a huge downside, which is why I think they should just allow you to install a dmg or something directly onto the phone like android. Let us run the software we want to run ffs.
Gee, Will, it's almost like I suggested something similar last year... just to have you write off both the suggestion, and those who'd spend the ten extra minutes to get SideStore operating on their iPhones as fringe cases. I haven't forgotten, buddy. https://stacker.news/items/331316 nostr:note1xkerwe4kexkfqld8vww99mwvg9ragkglvh4xr86v7hwakygy9gxsl9suvp
And for those wondering, ZEUS are still distributing IPA files since introducing them at my suggestion. https://m.primal.net/IiQn.png
