iOS discord debacle 

I always see "well buy an Android phone if you don't wanna be censored by Apple" but actually, why does Apple have any say in what I do with an iPhone?

iOS discord debacle

@noiob because securely allowing third party installs is extra work and it's really hard to force that in terms of law when it comes to platforms

it sucks that the two major companies that have smartphone platforms are either an ad company who does phones as a side business, or a monopoly for everything to do with their devices for all the good and bad that brings (the only reason they can do stuff like disable persistent tracking is because they have a monopoly)

re: iOS discord debacle 

@ChlorideCull I mean, they could just handle it like computers and say "we can't guarantee for your sideloaded apps", plus it's not like the iOS sandbox doesn't work for arbitrary code

re: iOS discord debacle 

@noiob there are internal entitlements that can disable the iOS sandbox for your app
