Wonder why we need 3rd party app stores.
And ffs, would other countries help a little, or should the EU just carry your asses every single time big tech tries some shit.

These days I keep forgetting the App Store is a thing. That’s how important apps are to me anymore. Also, fuck apple for being the tacky soulless corporate monster that it always used to make fun of.
So is this what the tech bros wanted when they said locked in walled gardens where more secure?
Jesus, just bought an apple tv as a pass through for my living room tv precisely to stop those f*** ads…
Is there a better alternative app search platform that has curated reviews and is community driven, or have bots destroyed everything nice on the internet?
AppRaven is quite nice
how do you think this problem can be solved from a socialist/communist perspective?
oh and this is my 500th comment here on this lemmy instance - that’s a bit more than how many comments i’ve posted on hexbear. seriously!
Only Ads? Not IA powered Ads with an agent managing the apps for you? Oh boy Apple really lost the IA race
Damn. Between Ios26 bugs, liquid UI, and now this, it looks like Apple is speedrunning losing me as a customer.
