I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't Android's fault for not being compatible with it.

The more power a company like this gains, the worse will it be for the whole industry.

Don't you have to jailbreak to do that

Nope. You can install any app with developer license. You can also jailbreak. Don’t bother replying to this comment, I’ve read enough brain dead replies already.

Which costs an additional $100/yr for something that's free on any other platform.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Naw you can use a service like maplesign for $10

With developer license

Doesn't seem fair to pay for the luxury of being able to install your own software
