  • Really what they want is a way to narrow down candidates at the end of the day.

    The unfortunate part is that these methods are often the things that actually prevent diverse workforces.

    Recruiting from expensive ivy league schools rather than state schools guarantees that you end up with a similar ethnic and gender make-up as those schools.

    It doesn't guarantee that you're getting more qualified or harder working candidates.

    Usually something as simple as getting your recruiters to focus their efforts elsewhere is what will increase your company's diversity, without having to change any other aspect of your hiring process.

  • I probably shouldn't engage you because everything you're saying is complete and utter ignorant nonsense but I'll try...

    There's a free developer account option and has been for a very very long time. It has limits but the kid already has the option you are asking for as does literally everybody. If you want to learn how to make and to be able to sideload an app as a dev to your device, that is free now.

    Non profits get the fee waived. They don't have to pay it up front either. They have to apply. But again, if you can't get your users to pay $100 you should rethink if you should destroy the ecosystem for everyone else for something nobody wants.

    Your malicious apps comment also makes it clear that you do not know any people older than 12.

    My parents will likely be affected by this and they are relatively with it with respect to technology compared to most.

    People will install malicious apps accidentally or unknowingly and Epic Games' store or the Tik Tok ten cent app store will likely be rife with those apps that people will assume are safe because they were promised a safe ecosystem that you are trying to ruin to get things that already exist!

    The privacy and safety of the App store is unparalleled and it is literally the thing we pay extra for our phones to have.

    You want to destroy that for unfounded reasons.

  • I, and almost all of Apple's user base, chose the walled garden for very real reasons. We literally paid extra for it. The choice between Apple's walled garden and Android or other alternatives comes at a premium that we want.

    The destruction of that walled garden through ill-conceived EU regulation and lawsuits by actually evil corporations, removes the choice. There will only be the shitty android-like experience that we chose to avoid in the first place.

    Apple is a "it just works" ecosystem that we bought into because we prefer it. Privacy and security are paramount with Apple products. This Apple-bad crew doesn't give a shit about actual Apple customers.

  • My experience with open source software is that it doesn't work anywhere near as well as the proprietary options when I need it and then 10 years later the community has rewritten it to become far superior and I always mean to go back and try it but no longer need it.

    Blender I'm looking at you.

  • Kids already can do that for free. An non-profit open source devs can already get their fee waived so none of your arguments hold up in the current world we live in.

    And you are wrong on the other side. I switched from Android to iOS when Amazon decided to launch their app store. I don't want that horrible cludgey experience and neither do actual iOS users.

    The reason this didn't take off is because nobody pays for android apps. You would have to be naive as hell to believe that there won't be many app stores and many malicious apps as a result of this change which will affect the actual users.

  • Playing Tony Hawk drastically changed the way I looked at the world.

    It made me look around and up for things that I did not have the skill to grind on in real life and suddenly I was noticing details of buildings and art and so on.
