In what sense could it be considered anti -competitive to require an additional login method alongside existing ones?
62.
by neotek 7y ago
So don’t use it. It’s offered alongside other third-party login options. If you trust Facebook more than Apple then by all means log in with Facebook, Apple isn’t stopping you or the people who develop the apps you choose to use.

There are multiple ways to sideload apps on iOS, with and without a paid developer account, and without having to jailbreak.

Does it not feel a little crazy to you that you're willing to put your life into the hands of a machine that you know is capable of, and has already tried, killing you? I can't think of any time in my life where I've almost d

I've driven a Model 3 over the course of a few days, maybe a handful of hours in total, and based on that experience I absolutely do not feel comfortable using Auto Pilot and would not buy a Tesla at the moment. It's far more jank

Sideloading on iOS is as easy as installing the free Cydia Compactor on your PC or laptop and dropping an app on it. The downside is that self-signed certificates only last seven days unless you have a paid developer account, but if you&#x2

For such a wildly ignorant take as "“At least we’re aren’t Google!” is pretty much the best they can say" I'd suggest the eye roll emoji instead.

Ah yes, the well known Orwellian police state tactic of politely asking users not to call each other stupid.

To be even more pedantic, "they" has been used as a gender-neutral pronoun for over 600 years. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/word-of-the-ye...

Or we could just use "they", a non-gender specific pronoun that has been used for this purpose for hundreds and hundreds of years.

Well I am. If you need to paywall your content, paywall it properly, don't just slap a semi-opaque div over the top of it and beg for my email address.

Why did you need their approval at all?

The Labor party have constantly and consistently fought to address climate change, and have been thwarted by right-wing politicians every time. Voting absolutely matter, and anyone who tells you it doesn't has an agenda.

Australia has a preferential voting system, and our two main parties are actually one primary centre-left party and two smaller centre-right parties that have formed a coalition. Doesn't stop us making dumb voting decisions every three

From one state to another would be a good start. South Australians are paying more per kilowatt hour than anyone else on the planet, including people living in active warzones.

Meanwhile we're still voting in governments that don't believe in climate change and which fight tooth and nail to destroy any chance of addressing the problem. No worries giving endless buckets of taxpayer money to climate-denyin

That's a non-sequitur. The fact their service comes with no guarantees makes no difference whatsoever to the fact that they are in a position, by virtue of the size of their audience, to influence any subject anywhere in the world.
