That's kind of insane reasoning.
Do you worry about that with your MacBook or Windows laptop?
Is it an attack vector? Sure...I guess. Is it a reasonable reason to disallow sideloading apps? Absolutely not.
- code_witch_sam 4y agoi don't really worry about it myself much. i just err on the side of not installing things i'm unsure about but my boomer mother? whewwwwwwwwww if someone told her she had to install a 3rd party app store to see pictures of her friend's birthday cake or some terrible grape salad recipe, she'd do it. and she'd give them all of her personal info too. sadly this is the norm, not the exception

- dcchambers 4y agoThanks for sharing, but I absolutely do not want to live in a world where one single company determines what I can and cannot install on my own devices. That type of fear-mongering leading to more restrictions is a disaster. I own a mac and love it, but if Apple ever attempts to lock it down the way they have the iPhone/iPad, myself and many others will leave that ecosystem forever.
