- nottorp 10mo agoMeh. Context: we're migrating to MS cloud services at work from Google so everyone is setting up accounts, authenticators etc. Pretty seamless migration overall btw, guess our admins worked like dogs. So I post this screenshot in a work chat as a warning (that's why i still have it). All my Android using colleagues tell me "it's the same in the Play Store, watch what you click."
- teekert 10mo agoSo it really is normal, wherever you go. We're not even surprised about it, let alone outraged. We've lost.
- nottorp 10mo agoOr maybe Apple lost. I haven't used their store for application discovery since i had an iPad 1 and it was the latest model.
- senordevnyc 10mo agoOr maybe this just doesn’t matter that much? “When I search for something, I have to flick my finger a quarter inch to scroll past an ad! It’s the end of all that is good in the world!”
- latexr 10mo agoIt’s well known that the App Store is a cesspool of scam apps and ads, they’ve been criticised for many years for it, including by prominent Apple-centric blogs and authors, many of them submitted to HN over the years.
