There's no wording in that law that says apple has to allow third party apps for alternate app stores or anything to be made available within apples app store. More like apple just has to allow sideloading. Why would Apple want to pay for the server expense of another company by-passing giving apple a share of the profits?
I hate both companies, but if I owned Apple, I'd be after doing the same thing. Epic can get people to sodeload that crap.
By their own quote of the law, there's no wording that would stipulate that apple has to allow epic to have their third party app in apples app store. Just that they would have to essentially allow it to be side loaded, or installable in some way onto the phone.
But really, why should and app store have to foot the server bill for another company to get to install an app intended to make money while giving none to the company that owns and operates an app store?
I sure as hell wouldn't.
Maybe make an auto sorting pool that instances sign up for and just evenly assign new users an instance, so they don't even have to "try hard" to choose one, then?
Like for real. Ad ridden OS 11 with no support for a ton of processors that are still in use. My system I built in 2015 still runs fantastic, but my AMD 1600x processor didn't make the cut. No loss there. As soon as OS 10 support stops it'll just be a Linux PC.
Valve has also been a huge help with the constant push for Linux gaming and the Steam Deck.
I guess, but I haven't noticed a whole lot of point in picking an instance of interest, since a small amount of content comes from them all right now. I added a ton of instances to my feed so I've never noticed tchncs prioritized or specific to myself.
There's a great skit that talks about this from "the whitest kids you know" called "Classroom Skit"
Lemmy is more work to get on and then find an apk to use. There needs to just be a simple and clear instruction set to get people over. Like a link to an instance they can easily join and here's a good app to use. Sort by /all and top from last 24 hours.
Right now there are waaaay less users, so content is low compared to reddit, and you can't just create your own sub at the drop of a hat.
Probably a lot more to do with people being pissed about reddit going public and selling their data to ai companies for profits.
Technically, you know vehicles went 80 years without any steering controls? Buttons on the wheel still isn't a requirement.
Not precisely.
I mean, in the sense of billions of dollars, having a few developer accounts is nothing. From apples side, they're making it sound like Spotify and others are pissed they can't charge users directly through apples apk store without paying a commission. That would be something to collapse the apple store, steam, and Google play store, if everyone just started going around helping to pay for the platform they want to sell on.
Everything disproportionately effects the little guy. Just look at laws that have fines instead of jail time. Or just getting a lawyer. Or eating out or buying groceries.
