after 15 years, iOS has finally caught up with all the main android features, such as
- very mid ui design
- kinda floaty feeling
- unpolished vibe android itself has progressed little, although it is rapidly achieving feature parity with iOS on “locked down user hostility”. overall both ecosystems look very appealing, energetic, and healthy, for shareholders


You can already write a desktop app to do all that malware stuff. Why give the phones and tablets special treatment?
Personally I like the iPhone and the App Store for the reason that it does go through some basic checks.
But as a dev, sometimes I just want to run my own shit on my own phone without hassle. (Yes I know there is dev mode. I don’t want to constantly run my main phone in dev mode just so I can run my own apps.)
And if you sold it thru a regulated marketplace, you could be held responsible…
They shouldn’t…
If I said habitual drunk drivers shouldn’t be able to have a driver’s license, what you just did is like asking why someone who does 2 grams of Fentanyl everyday should be able to keep theirs…
I understand what you’re saying, and I agree…
I just don’t know why you assumed I wouldn’t agree bud
Not to be the analogy police but anyone who does 2 grams of fentanyl a day would be very very dead on the first day. That’s enough to kill about a hundred people.
