I'll be honest here, I dislike the cancel culture with passion. When an angry mob tries to cancel a person there are 3 things that bothers me: 1. The cancellers are judging the past actions of a person with today's values, and are

> How are those two even comparable? They're both locked down with fury and will eventually be rendered useless due to no software updates. You can attempt to install Linux to those but... Will you succeed?

I'll be honest here: My #1 reason for avoiding Sketch like the plague is because it is Mac-only. It may be the best software in its category, but I'll stick with a competitor just because they support different platforms.

Not having choices is a bad situation. I would be surprised if you thought otherwise. Imagine not being able to ditch the App Store the way publishers have done so in the Mac App Store: https://bohemiancoding.tumblr.com/post

> No one is forcing them to develop for iOS. The market is. You can not afford not to publish something on iOS, if iOS were a niche platform used only by 1% of users maybe, but it is a mainstream platform used by more than 40% of users i

Prices, you are literally not allowed to offer cheaper prices outside the App Store.

How about this? An email reminder N days in advance of the charge date with a cancel link. Companies get regulated for a reason, and facilitating the cancelation of subscriptions sounds reasonable to me.

Most of the recent jailbreaks involve Safari vulnerabilities, so you don't even need to install an app to compromise your iPhone, the walled garden is just security through obscurity.

Children also need to get acquainted with the concept of scarcity if you don’t want them to become spoiled. Limiting their options between “no games at all” or “the few games that Apple provides” is a good way to teach them that particular
