- zepto 6y agoSure but Apple is clearly continuing to move in the direction of more security. The argument that they could be better therefore they are worth nothing, is a clear fallacy.
- raxxorrax 6y agoThen the same is true for letting people just install apps without vendor lock in.
- zepto 6y agoNo. That doesn’t follow. I’m claiming that the App Store solution as it stands is better for most users than just freely installing apps from the web. It’s not at all clear that the safety of just installing software without vendor lock in is getting better for most users. In fact it seems to be getting worse.
