sambeau@alien.topBtoApple•Apple admits third-party App Stores in Europe are inevitableEnglish

1 year agoThe age of the shitty spammy store is upon us. It’s going to be a fucking nightmare for the unofficial family IT support crew. It’s hard enough keeping my parents phones and Macs clean and working. But, as they still use things like printers they are about to have to install a shitty HP store just to print a train ticket.
Even worse, they’ll be googling how to fix their printer and end up installing some virus-laden store full of fake apps.
We’ll just swap one safe monopoly for lots of terrible little monopolies. Want to play a game? Install our shitty store. Want to watch a movie? Install our shitty store? Want to buy a light bulb? Install our store. Want heated car seats? Install our store.
Grrrrr.
