   Apps that I need or like would stop developing for the main store and start demanding people sideload or install another App Store and I would inevitably have to follow along and put my credit card into multiple stores. I don’t have any bar

   Right now, people have the choice to use a system without sideloading or one with sideloading (Android or presumably something like a pinephone). Forcing iOS to be open to sideloading or other AppStores would remove choice. I chose to use i

   As a consumer, I really like how the AppStore works and I buy iPhones for me and for my family specifically because there is only one store and one way of subscribing and one way of using in-app purchases. I really, really hope Apple win th

   I have a Tuxedo Infinitybook pro 14 v4, fully maxed out. I love it. It's dirt cheap and everything works out of the box. I was a little concerned about moving from Mac to Linux but I can sync my phone, I can print, I can connect to all

    Slightly OT, but Is this a language thing? In the UK frying in this context means in a flat frying pan with a very small coating of oil. This is perfectly normal for a steak. Deep fat frying, where the meat would be submerged in hot oil wou

    I've been using the escape key for vim since I started work as a programmer 21 years ago. That's a long time and I really don't want to change it. I know it might seem silly to you, but I'd switch to Linux on an XPS befo
