For those not aware, a few months ago after reaching out to me, YouTube contacted the App Store stating that Juno does not adhere to YouTube guidelines and modifies the website in a way they don’t approve of, and alludes to their trademarks and iconography.
I don’t personally agree with this, as Juno is just a web view, and acts as little more than a browser extension that modifies CSS to make the website and video player look more “visionOS” like.
It did, you just did not accept the answer. Installing apps is just installing apps, regardless of its source. That’s it. Sideloading, just like jaywalking, makes it sound like you are doing something dangerous, something forbidden, something you should not do. The whole locking down of operating systems is to take control away from the user.
Sideloading is a term that’s been around for decades, it’s not some made up word by tech giants to make people scared of installing apps.
The term originates from a designation for transferring data between physical devices and was slowly adopted (because language is fluid) to its current definition (by people on forums like xda).
This isn’t some conspiracy and Google and apple don’t need to use coded language to prevent you from side loading, apple for example just outwardly and bluntly forbids it.
No. It didn’t. You just repeated the same statement with no explanation or justification.
You’re mad that a term exists that specifies their source?
…how? Honestly this sounds like something you made up in your head. I don’t understand why you refuse to answer the question.
I don’t understand what that has to do with this conversation.
Maybe look for someone else, because I really don’t have the time nor motivation for delusional internet arguments with willfully obtuse people. Edit: Downvoters might want to check their profile, because they’re doing the same shit to other people. Very clearly a troll.
Right, you repeatedly refuse to answer simple questions and I’m the “wilfully obtuse” one. Okay.
Bruh… Then what are you doing commenting on Lemmy? Lol!
I guess even in my nihilistic mind is still too optimistic when it comes to people. I should just stop giving them the benefit of the doubt and just accept that almost everyone will argue in bad faith.
