@dangillmor The makers of the app should put up a normal website available for all, as well as making an android app, that can be sideloaded by android-users.

@dangillmor I'm glad I ditched Apple for the second (and now last time). That said I see Google's putting more pressure on sideloading with Android so at some point we're going to have to retreat to Google-less Android or Linux phones.

@dangillmor

This is what happens when you make an app for an ecosystem based on a walled garden.

If it were an open source web app, Apple actions would be irrelevant.

#boycott Apple

This is just one in a long history of let's fuck people over because we're at the long end of a very long stick and we're untouchable.

#fuckapple

@dangillmor And yet, they are still the least fash of tech companies.

@dangillmor Just what you would expect. Spineless a*holes, and don't give a f*ck about their customers. Nothing new!

@dangillmor it's not cowardice. It's agreement with Trump's bigotry & hatred. Like Scott Bessent, Tim Cook is a gay white man who supports rampant homophobes out of shared white supremacism.

@dangillmor

Interesting that after all this time only now is Google/Alphabet deciding to remove "unverified" side loading from Android.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence of course 🙃

Bending knee is not a way to be free…

@dangillmor a great reminder that the iPhone 17 one just bought doesn’t belong to them, and isn’t for their best interests.

@dangillmor Cowardice, or just who they are? If they'll work with the PRC, they'll work with a fascist US government. They probably don't even have mixed feelings about it.

@dangillmor and this toot was right underneath this one.

@dangillmor Ha. I’m genuinely disappointed at people expecting business giants to NOT fold. History shows they always fold, as they have most to gain from it.

@dangillmor i'm sure i'm not the only one to say this, but this here is exactly why forcing people to only use one app store is awful.
