    He’s a great developer but he needs to find a way not to be so reliant on giant tech companies to make his apps viable.

      All technology development stands on the shoulders of giants. It’s unethical for modern giants to refuse to continue the tradition.

  The best way is to migrate away to other platforms wherever possible, but in the interim, fuck you, Google.

    the app in question was

    1. on Apple App Store
    2. for Vision Pro

    so your alternatives might not be the best fit here.

      Haha, ooooooooops.

      (But hey, I guess Android users can get some mileage out of it.)

  this sort of thing is exactly why mozilla, firefox, and - more specifically - a non-profit internet is essential to it’s survival. two for profit ad-driven companies being the gatekeepers of the internet is horrible.

  I am typing this on Voyager, but would love to have a Lemmy client developed by Christian.

  YT shooting themselves in the foot here. Someone makes a third party client that keeps ads and doesnt allow for downloading, and generally (probably) makes the YT experience not absolute shit and they have to get rid of it, ensuring people just keep using the ones that do.

  We should be fighting the laws that enable them to do this shit instead of whining about how Apple is adhering to them being allowed to protect their IP from people succumbing their bullshit forced ads.

  Apple, for all their faults elsewhere, is only complying to what they legally have to do.

  The problem isn’t Apple. It’s the laws that allow YouTube to do the heinous bullshit they do.

  I was extremely surprised that Apple let Christian publish this originally, they have blocked alternative YouTube clients for years. At the time I thought that Apple is doing this to spite Google who didn’t release native app for VisionOS. Christian had a good relationship with Apple and could deliver something high quality so there’s that too. Curious that they changed their mind but it’s safe to assume Apple and Google had to work it out.

  I had forgotten the name of his Vision Pro app, so I was very confused. Is it 1998 and they’re banning my dial-up internet/email service?

  Juno: Because email was meant to be free!

  I hope this frees up time to invest more time in a passion project for himself. I want nothing but contentment for that guy.
