@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net At least Android has fDroid. Apple is a dominatrix.

@darren@twtxt.net I don’t get it (I don’t use Android). What do you mean?

@bender@twtxt.net F-Droid is a platform/app that lets you side-load/install and serve android apps without the need for Google’s play store’s blessing. I also use Aurora Store to install Play Store’s apps without having to associate my phone with Google account. 🦾 it makes me feel good about myself 🥸

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the EU forcing Apple to support side-loading Apps now on iOS devices? 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Well yeah this is true, but as @bender@twtxt.net and I point out, there are reasons for why this happens at times 🤣 Some of those reasons are not “purposefully malicious” I don’t think 🤔
