I’m paying for a walled garden. I own the hardware, and with it bought software which I want to aggressively maintain it.
If you don’t like the product, don’t buy it. Don’t compel them to satisfy your whim via police power of the state.
- kmeisthax 6y agoWalled gardens are also legally enforced by police power of the state. Otherwise, Epic would just distribute their own jailbreaks and tell Fortnite users to jailbreak their phones. Furthermore, I find it really frustrating how my desire for the ability to go a little bit outside of certain walled gardens is construed as me demanding you go outside the walled garden at all times. 95% of the walled garden is perfectly fine - it's the 5% of apps that won't fit inside of it that are the problem.

- ctdonath 6y agoIt’s not “construed as me demanding you go outside the walled garden at all times”, it’s that you’re making demands on a private company thru the police power of the state, rather than just not buying the product - and that such demands have consequences that reduce security and degrade via other unintended consequences.
