Except the criticism here is of Apple, for preventing "side-loading" (and, presumably, for requiring Apple's certification of the installed binary).
For that, there is a clear alternative.
- allarm 3y agoThere’s no alternative if you want to keep the ecosystem.
- detaro 3y ago... a "clear alternative" that has downsides too, that someone might very well consider to be equally bad or worse. Which they somehow only could point out as long as they didn't choose it?
- __d 3y agoI think the thing that irks me about this discussion is mostly the tone. The whiny, entitled, "I demand that Apple makes a device that suits me exactly, and if they don't, they're a bunch of fascist assholes" vibe really annoys me. There are two things that are genuinely productive: supporting alternative phones (PinePhone, Librem 5, Jolla, OpenMoko, etc) and their software, and lobbying governments to impose regulatory constraints. I'd love to see more people doing them.
