That moment when you’re stuck with safari because Apple said sidloading is dangerous 🙄
Don’t mind people blaming you for choosing a brand. Their ire is misplaced, it’s the company’s fault as much as it’s the consumers fault and the consumers should focus their energy in convincing companies to change their ways or loose their loyalty. This petty meaningless victim blaming helps no one.
It would help if you voted with your wallet from now on though.
Yeah I will be buying Linux devices after I run my apple stuff into the ground.
Apple limits choice/repairability and make my favourite little devs jump through hoops through draconian rules. I learned my lesson.
I just bought apple devices because their software support is pretty solid.
Honestly the reason I own and use an old iPad, it was practically the only tablet that could do what I wanted. I used a Mac mini for the better part of five years before I switched to Windows and finally Linux! (It’s ok if Linux isn’t for you)
I get the appeal, their hardware is very nice and I still wish other manufacturers matched the tolerances Apple sets for their hardware. I just can’t buy from a company behaving like that. Also good man using your hardware for as long as reasonably possible! 😁 We only have one earth after all.
Just wanted comment exactly this. Thank you!
Well, that’s what you get if you choose to be treated like a child by a company
To their credit, Safari’s extension support on iOS is reasonably good. Not like Firefox good, but compared to chrome it’s excellent!
Only of you use a IPhone

And because you chose to buy an Apple device, when Android or Linux devices are available, for cheaper even…

I bought apple devices because their software support is solid and the user interface is pretty.
But the limitations were not worth the trade off. As there are now decent alternatives and I’m no longer stuck with just android on the phone side of things anymore. There have been quite a few advancements made in the linux phone area.
I now have pixel 3a with Ubuntu touch, old thinkpad with linux mint, a steam deck and gaming rig with linux nobara. I got the whole 9 yards. I will using more of linux as time goes on and kick my ios/macos addiction.

Just use Lineage OS. It is the most mature as it is based on AOSP

Better yet: buy a newer Pixel and use GrapheneOS.

How’s the battery life with the 3a? I feel like the battery has degraded to hell unless you replaced it but I am curious

I bought it used. The phone lasts me through alight, I would say it has the capacity for 4 hours of screen on time.
Though Ubuntu Touch drains more on standby so often when I’m in the mood to try it I have to replug it in.

Apple just has better integration for a lot of things, and the UI is just so much better
