I kid you not, I vaguely remember that the comment about the phone becoming less safe due to sideloading was from lemmy. I think it was downvoted to hell but still. Lemmy isn’t all techy people and even then some people consider the walled garden as a feature.

I know all companies are full of bullshit, and I reckon that Apple makes both great software and hardware, but I hate with a passion how they try to make the most anti-consumer shit ever and then claim it’s for their users/environmental benefits. I lose faith in humanity a little bit more each time I read someone comment stating that the EU forcing apple to open imessage would make it less secure or that their forced passage to USB-C would only hurt the users, or that Apple not including the faster charger was okey because they already had a charger at home ( so as Apple claimed, better for the environment ), but then they go and buy it separately ( because it’s better and faster ) and it comes in a box full of plastic.
