Benn Jordan @bennjordan.bsky.social · 15/01/2025The government banning TikTok wouldn't matter if Apple allowed you to access alternative marketplaces, your own file system, or your full DNS configuration on the phone you paid them for. Does my annoying lame green bubble make sense now? 121309
Catalyze @catalyze.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Google also secretly wants to get rid of the ability to install software you choose, they already banned receiving APKs over bluetooth or quick share on Pixel phones, and are pushing an API that lets developers stop their app from working on rooted phones 210

Gadgetoid @gadgetoid.com · 15/01/2025If technology is used to effect a ban you don’t automatically win by circumventing it- you just paint a big target on your back for some good ol’ fashioned selective enforcement 🤣 000
Greg Dennis @gregsdennis.bsky.social · 15/01/2025You lease the phone. They still own it. It's just that by the time the lease is up, they don't want the phone back because it's so old (like maybe a year?) and they've nerfed the performance in software. 100
Denýs Čumák @choomaque.bsky.social · 15/01/2025TikTok should be banned. It is controlled by China (which themselves blocked every single one US media) and can influence democratic processes in the west by promoting country-wreckers via rigged algorithm. It is dangerous. 000
Silky @silkythick.bsky.social · 15/01/2025I immediately lose all respect for anyone who falls for Apple's clear marketing scam to get them to pressure their friends into buying Apple products. Have a spine for fuck's sake. 020
James @jimmikehank.bsky.social · 15/01/2025I decided to stay off Apple for life when I tried clearing storage on my mom's iPhone and the only way to clear an app is uninstalling and reinstalling. I'm sure the clear storage feature will be a focal point of the iPhone 32 and they'll act like it's revolutionary. 040
Joel @derjoel.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Intellectual property laws have been such a scam for humanity. It so often works against the interests of the individual these days. 020
