Moves like this always assume that location equals citizenship. As an EU citizen living in North America, a move like this means that I would not get the remedy that Apple legally owes me (or would owe me if I owned an iOS device)
The main thing I’ve been sideloading on Android for a decade is a fan implementation of the Dominion card game called Androminion. It was trademark cease and desist removed from the Play Store a decade ago, but you can still get the apk on Github
There’s a couple other things. One big gap in both the Google and Apple stores is the complete absence of adult content. I’m amazed there’s not more of a clamour for adult apps among either userbase, given that most people don’t own a normal computer. Sideloading could plug that gap
Removing things is not sufficient for removing bias. Omission is a kind of bias. You can lie by cherry-picking just some of the truth and skipping the rest
They set it for me in Canada, so they are lying there
Is it going to be like Whatsapp end-to-end encryption where they just rolled out a 4-digit pincode for “backups” on their servers as the third end?
If you ban bank heist movies like Ocean’s Eleven, people will stop robbing banks
Because Microsoft and VC types have thrown many billions of US dollars at this and similar companies, so a lot of (their) money is at stake
Me: Play Whitehorse the band
Google Assistant: Playing Whitehorse the song by some other guy
Me: No, play Whitehorse the Canadian band
Google Assistant: Playing Whitehorse the album by a third guy
Me: Play Achilles Desire
Google Asistant: Playing WhitehorseMe: Play Tu vuò fà l’americano on Spotify
Google Assistant: !?!?!?!?Me: Play Laisse tomber les filles
Google Assistant: !?!?!?Me: Play Les Cowboys Fringants on Spotify
Google Assistant: !?
Me: Play Les Cowboys F R I N G A N T S
Google Assistant: Playing Les Cowboys FringantsI only ever use those junky voice assistants when driving, and they are useless half the time
On average, how many times a year do you go from Thunder Bay to Whitehorse versus how many times a year do you get groceries around the block?
The appeal of the “we could have been a contender” fantasy for Microsoft is the idea that they’d be printing money by collecting the 30% tax on apps and in-app purchases. If they were 100% dependent on Samsung, they’d be printing at least 50% less money
Because you are nostalgic for win 8 with its full screen start menu?
What year was Android an also-ran?
2013: 51.8% Android, 40.6% iOS, 3.8% Blackberry, 3.3% Microsoft
Scotiabank is the only one that spammed me with insurance sales calls ten years ago and wouldn’t let me take myself off the list because having a bank account was a pre-existing business relationship. I had to close my bank account to get the spam calls to stop
3·1 year agoI guess whether they use Google Docs or Microsoft Office, they are paying a competitor. Microsoft must be less scary than Google
That’s the same argument as arguing as Canada doesn’t have to do anything about climate change because China and India can fix it on their own with their bigger population. We have to make some changes on the individual level to be good role models and to pressure those same corporations
