    People are so stupid in this country. Do what the EU did and make it law that they have to offer sideloading and other app stores and payment methods.

    It should be the law to begin with. This walled garden shit is really just another word for controlling what the user does with the device they purchased and not allowing them to do business with anybody else exclusively to add software without apple’s approval and protection racket fee.

    Was there any reason to make this an ios app as opposed to a website hosted outside the US? I’m really not surprised by the removal. What did they expect? All the Tech CEOs came to the inauguration with bags of cash.

    With this and Google stopping side loading in Android, I’m going to be looking hard into Linux phones.

      They’re not stopping it, they are planning to introduce it to the platform; no one sideloads on Android today, because it’s not a walled garden yet.

      Wrong

      “Ownership“ doesn’t mean “I can do whatever I want with it”.

          you think people who own guns should be allowed to “do whatever they want” with them?

          how many mass shootings do we already have each week?

        So go pander to them.

        If I own something, I can do whatever I like with it because it’s mine.

        If I can’t do what I like, it’s not truly mine.
