It was initially launched through TestFlight you’re conflating two ways it was distributed to just try to call me an idiot. I’m assuming you don’t even know what TestFlight is.
No, they’re wrong. They were wrong as soon as they said a Trojan you have to install yourself, which is exactly how it works. It can’t work if you weren’t tricked into installing it. The Trojan doesn’t have to cause harm it’s called a Trojan based on the way it has to be deployed.
I think both are great and have nearly all of the same things. Really all I was getting at.
iCloud is a plus for me as it intertwines everything I use seamlessly. I can’t argue a point against you not wanting an apple account.
I agree with the side loading points but for me the greater argument there is what are you needing to side load and is there not something better that already exists without having to side load? I’m a super nerd and don’t have anything I need to side load but I have AltStore setup just in case I would want to.
I agree with the browser crap too. I have no issues there though either other than safari maybe being too strict on cookies at times. I have all the extensions I need, even userscripts. Shortcuts is extremely powerful these days too.
Why do I need a third party sms? I honestly don’t even know what that means? There’s tons of different apps for alternate phone numbers for texting. Or you really want to have a completely different messages app using all of the features of the Messages app? For what? Launcher apps were cool when I was flashing custom roms and stuff as a teenager.
They’re not miles above. What FOSS do you absolutely need that isn’t on iOS?
Again I find them both great… I just don’t understand the need to come in to threads and bash apple users.
Orion allows Firefox extensions and I’m sure others do as well. If you’re a nerd, love tinkering around constantly, and not your standard insta/tiktok/facebook/insert dating app user which I would argue is a huge amount of phone users. Android is the obvious choice, but only specific ones of course cuz there’s hate there too towards specific brands if you’re super nerd.
DNS ad blocking works too through VPN ad blockers (for 4-5? Years now). I don’t want to argue but every point you made makes no sense. You just didn’t do any research or are not really at the nerdom level to be so appreciative of an Android.
It all comes down to what you use the device for. I know the apple hate is strong but there’s not a whole lot of different use cases going in to either one other than the ecosystems. Also most android fanatics haven’t even used an iPhone to comment on anything. They do anyway though.
That’s not true. A Trojan is a virus disguised as something else to trick your victim. Am I the only one that messed with their friends with ones like sub7 and stuff like 30 years ago? Lol
You’re describing a minority of loud idiots on the internet. You’ll encounter this at every corner of the internet. Shunning an entire instance for people’s opinions makes absolutely zero sense. Especially since not all of these people are even members of the instance.
I agree, but it was initially snuck on through TestFlight.
