Google and Apple need to be regulated out of the app store business. They have no business doing this bullshit.
It's time. Governments need to put an end to the app store.
- ok_dad 2y agoI’m with you, let us install programs like on a PC.
- echelon 2y agoIt wouldn't even be hard to achieve security: (1) sandboxing, (2) permissions system, (3) database of bad app signatures, (4) heuristics based monitoring. Most of this is already in place. There's no excuse except money and power.
- owlbite 2y agoBecause that's worked so well for PCs?
- BlimpSpike 2y agoPCs don't have sandboxing or permissions.
- Marsymars 2y agoThat’s a pretty broad statement, and sure, you can get an OS with neither, but broadly speaking modern operating systems that people use do have sandboxing and permissions.
- ok_dad 2y agoIn fact, I am using a PC right now that is working pretty well.
- nomel 2y agoWhich specific heuristics based monitoring do you use? Is it tied to a for profit company?
- nomel 2y ago> Most of this is already in place. No, it's in 10 different places.
