I am giving up privacy, security, and user experience by my chosen walled garden being forced to allow alternative app stores on the platform.

I already have the choice to pay significantly less for a worse product that doesn't have these things and allows sideloading.

You are the one removing my choice.

Reading this was not a good use of braincells on my part. You got me!

Here's someone up the thread who spells it out concisely: https://lemmy.world/comment/6357252

My opinions are fact-backed. Yours are ignorant.

Oh definitely. While it's not a given that bigoted folks are closeted, it's worth noting that there's been some studies showing it's not just a joke: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/homophobes-might-be-hidden-homosexuals/

Your take on it seems likely in other cases, and/or some combo of both.

That said, I would much rather a man with an erection look at me like on the right than like on the left, which was a bit more where my joke was coming from.

Maybe body odor could be an opt-in? For, like, sexy times between men who like that kind of thing...

An unjust system is still an unjust system whether or not there are worse systems. What a completely ignorant take.

Or just even throw a nod at the well documented systemic racism in our prison "justice" system?

What an absolutely ignorant take.

Hi. Get an Android phone.

I am choosing privacy, security, and user experience over Epic Games making extra money off of me.

Foldable phones are so fetch!

He has an erection in both.

"For the next 24 hours, pay for Fallout with your dignity!"

There are much better reasons to not love me, mom!

As what is becoming an annual tradition... There were no survivors.

The legal system is hilariously broken across the board. I'm on both Apple and Google's sides in this fight against Epic making a buck off their ecosystems at the expense of the consumer.

I want the walled garden and use Apple products.

Alternative app stores and sideloading is ONLY good for big corporations. Epic will not charge less for their products on their app store and it opens up the product for extremely poor security and an inconvenient user experience with shitier features.

The first time Amazon tried to force me to use their app store to get an app I left Android and never looked back.

By forcing Apple to support anybody putting their own app store on it you are removing the walled garden and removing choice from the marketplace.

If you want sideloading, stay on android. It doesn't affect you that I have and want a walled garden so stop complaining. Problem solved.

Maybe I'm conflating two of the EU's/reddit/Lemmy's anti-tech ideas. Alternate app stores are horrible for consumers. Side loading without the ability to have an alternate app store is fine, but I don't think that's on anyone's mind.

This opinion won't be popular with the crowd on lemmy but it is absolutely true. People use Apple because they want the walled garden.
