    That’s where these rules are coming from. EU made the first move, and countries around the world follows.

    It’s like this with most laws. But the world depends on the first mover. Right now for everything on consumer protection, it’s the EU they look at.

    Yes ans no. Apple nanaged to fuck that up using something called “notarized apps”. Guess how many apps you can sideload? I think you have more than enough fingers to do that easily.

  Eh, or just buy an android. How dumb is this shit?

  I support it, don’t get me wrong… But like, guys, we solved this over a decade ago.

    Android is trying to block anything which is not the play store as well…

    1. This is not a problem that needs solving, it’s an artificial barrier to prevent you from using the device which reduces profit for the manufacturer. Being able to install and run whatever software you want (apart from actual hardware limitations) has been part of personal computers since the invention of personal computers.
    2. Google is trying its best to do this as well, if you’ve missed the news.
