If you told people in 1995 that operating system vendors and service providers would arbitrarily block certain apps to lock you into their ecosystem people wouldn't have believed you.
- op00to 3y agoI want to use adb to communicate with my iPhones. Google is evil using adb as a moat and locking away my access to adb! See how silly that sounds?
- flkenosad 3y agoIt only sounds silly if you have a highly technical background.
- op00to 3y agoWhat are you trying to say? That iMessage is somehow "required" to interoperate with others because it does not require a highly technical background to use, but adb is exempt? I'm not following your train of thought.
