Viewing profile — sinnoh

boy, that kind of "deep regulation" into UX design from a single arbitrary company should be illegal regardless. people bought apple hardware and the operating system, not voted th…

the fact that I, a software developer by trade, can't install or run any code on an ios device without running something by apple first. that's like tesla releasing a car saying if…

because people have had a longer amount of time to understand food. hang in there, my friend :)

they'll argue that they already have this while blissfully ignoring the fact that they've made its barrier to entry on their platform artificially high.

it has been "this will" and not "this does" for the better part of a decade, I think it's time for people to realize that theory and practice are two very different things and the …

incorrect. phone choices are inelastic. users do not drop phones and switch to a competing platform because they cannot install an app, it's the other way around. besides, with tha…

Seriously, I thought I had a handle on the worst apple's done and this surprised me.

no reason not to go after both. "Two wrongs" and all.

and phones have [some fraction] marketshare on overall devices people buy, what's your point? the argument is markets within the ios ecosystem, of which there's effectively one, an…

you're comparing different markets. that's like saying Earth has 1/8th the marketshare on planets therefore nothing that happens here can be called monopolistic.

as long as apple gets their 100/dev/year + 30%, that is.

it theoretically would be fine to dev for apple, if they added proper progressive web app support (or gave users the tools to build this out themselves) but of course that would hu…

that's like saying it's impossible to have a monopoly in a country because you can just move countries.

when the store also controls the ordinance it lives in and makes shoppers approve several big red "THIS STORE IS UNSAFE" banners if they even think of shopping anywhere else, then …

no one is arguing it has a monopoly on mobile phones, the argument is and has always been that they have a monopoly on the ios software ecosystem they've built.

really the entire concept of a 'store' has been bastardized by these companies (another thing we can thank apple for) and is a misdirect. the locked down software platforms wherein…

"their" platform. nominally you can install whatever you want using profiles, but effectively having to do so is an artificially high barrier to entry for competing app stores (not…

no one said you can only keep one copy of anything you own.

Did you read those links? He said to delete the data, not just the accounts.

Point one: Sure it is. Those offices you describe? Look at how many of them are focused on things that require creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. A functioning ADHD individual…

I'll volunteer (will email later). I don't have an android phone but will happily pick one up if this ends up being something I can/should use (been meaning to switch anyways).
