So yes there is.
- duped 7mo agoHaving a fee that's trivial for serious software developers but too high for script kiddies shipping trash is a good thing.
- stefs 7mo agoBut that's also a fee that's trivial for well funded criminal malicious parties shipping harmful trash but too high for serious open source developers shipping free software.
- Cthulhu_ 7mo agoYeah but consider that if something is cheap or free (having Microsoft do it), what is the product? It's a tradeoff, pay for independence or be at the mercy of in this case Microsoft. (there is probably a third, fourth, fifth option but this is an internet comment section)
- Capricorn2481 7mo agoYeah they're awful, I'm just saying making it harder for people to put apps on your OS might actually be a bad move. But sure, they can always scrape the barrel.
