Can't imagine choosing to actually involve yourself in the apple ecosystem. Such a weirdly centralised authoritarian sphere of tech, with this creepy thin veil of individualism.
Just yuck. All of it. Over and over again we see these antideveloper and anticonsumer moves - which always happen to be set in just the right way to take power and give it to apple under the guise of security or privacy.
- burnished 5y agoThe same company that allows you to opt-in to tracking (as opposed to an opt-out that would rarely be used) and evidently now requires that other companies not do the anti-consumer thing where they make sign up easy but cancelation hard?
- ekkeke 5y agoDon't get this take, as a user this is the opposite of authoritarian since it gives you more control.
- judge2020 5y agoI guess it's authoritarian in the same like that governments enforcing minimum wage or workplace safety are forcing companies to give up autonomy for someone else's benefit - but, of course, that benefit is usually in the name of human rights/not dying on the job/not exploiting workers.
- Gigachad 5y agoAs a user I quite like it. It self selects away the user hostile devs who put malicious dark patterns in their apps. If a company does not want to allow me to delete my account, I don't want to use it and I'm glad it's removed from the store.
