Before I did LSD I had heard about the hallucinations, the potential for personality alteration and the possibility of long lasting effects. Those are the exact reasons I dove headfirst into trying it a few times over a summer! If I had hea

Could you be a little less cryptic?

I’d rather use and develop a PWA than a native app. So would all of my customers. iOS is the only thing holding them back. Usually we just wrap our web app in a native app for iOS and everybody is happy.

I like Windows 10, but I stopped using it as my main work OS because I've always had to fight with it to do what I need to. Switching to a Linux desktop was super easy for me. > I had issues with font rendering, low fps animations a

You can't see how that's a double edged sword though? I buy a device, I even buy a special computer so I can build programs for the device... and now I have to pay $99/year just to comfortably run my own program on my own dev

I started using Objection.js and Knex last year and I think it might be the best ORM I've used on any platform. There's no way I'm going back to writing raw queries. If I did that, eventually I'd rewrite Knex. If and whe

OK, but nobody has ever destroyed a city over opinions about technology, among many, many other things that people argue about online such as favorite celebrity, music, cars, etc. Just because you can cherry pick a couple of examples of peo

You're comparing the civil war to people texting each other on social media. Nobody has ever gone to actual war over personal opinions about cars, phones or computers.

Sorry, I didn’t really read any of that. If you couldn’t tell that I completely disagree with your backwards notion of what’s right and good by now and that nothing you’ll say will convince me that less freedom for common folks is somehow b

We are also perfectly free to enforce our existing anti-trust laws and make new laws for important digital platforms as we see fit. Seems like a better option than just letting big corps do whatever they want. There's more of us than t

Some shady car manufacturers tried to stop people from being able to buy after market parts for their cars and our legal system put a stop to that. So, given that phones are easily as important as cars, I have confidence that we'll get

Sounds like the problem lies with whatever group you chose to associate with. If you're depending on Apple to stop you from making bad decisions about what kinds of employers to work for, I think you've got bigger problems than wh

This lawsuit is taking place in the United States just like most of my business. It doesn’t matter what’s happening in the rest of the world.

No sane app development business would do this when half of their potential customers are on an iPhone. I'd rather vote in legislators that will maintain the existing laws of the land, which state that you can't use your Apple-siz

You created the hypothetical, not me. So you can feel free to answer your own questions because I'm not exactly sure what your point is. This is about giving users and developers a choice outside of Apple's app store. If you like

by wayneftw 6y ago
Agreed. But, for the sake of those app businesses that fit the right definition, we should allow for a choice of sideloading or competing app stores. And no harm would come to consumers by giving them that choice.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Why are you giving advice for users in a thread about developers rights? 90% of the youth market uses an iPhone and that's the same market Epic is in. Outside of youths, 50% of the US population uses an

I support any gang that wants to give developers and users more freedom of choice. What do you support?
