Just because people don’t agree with you, it means they never coded? GTFO, I’ve written system integrations by myself using Java (so I know a bit how it works), does that makes my opinion worthy?

Thank god I’m retiring from development soon. Fuck all of this.

It’s because developers like you, the software world got into shit. Good bye! You won’t be missed!

Just because you develop for both platforms using the latest API’s and shiny new IDE’s doesn’t it make it true (even though your ego thinks so).

I can show you Nero 7 (Google it if you don’t know what it is, smartass) running in Win 11 Pro. Also I have old Epson printer which the software (I’m not talking about drivers) never got updated and I still use in Win 10.

So, believe whatever the fuck you want. Just don’t call it bullshit because you don’t know any better. And don’t worry, I’ve dealt with shitty developers like you who think they know it all.

That’s because you probably:

1. Use MacOS/iOS
2. You upgraded your OS to a new version (because Widgets on desktop are so cool, even though they existed in Vista).
3. You did step 1 and step 2.

I also use Apple devices, but I tend to avoid upgrading the system, unless it’s security patches, since Apple likes to break things without caring for repercussions.

You know that a lot of software made for Windows XP still works in that garbage Win 11 system, out-of-the-box?

Is that a new app for Lemmy? I just tend to use Voyager. How does that one compares to it?

Basic Economy?

Wake up Jim!!! You have heard that story so many times that I guess by now, you believe the bullshit you wrote.

That basic economy only makes sense if we are dealing with applications that required a server or continuous maintenance (you know, the real service-apps).

And don’t use the expected updates argument, because no one demands or feels entitled to constant and lifetime updates. I still use apps built years ago that still work. And guess what, they work. Yeah, hard to believe right?

The old business model worked for years and a lot of apps are still around, they didn’t went bankrupt. But it’s okay to believe that this business model would be unsustainable without this, they need people like you to feed the machine 😅

Who says I’m angry?

I’m not angry, just disappointed ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

They didn’t share what was the criteria used to choose them.

Maybe you’re right…

Yes, and no. There are still a lot of good apps without that business model, but it’s hard to find them and they are not well known.

But this is the path that Apple wanted. 🤷‍♂️

No, I’m suggesting that they are being biased and choosing apps that fit their criteria. Remember, it was them who advised the devs to go into that path, in the first place.

Sorry if it wasn’t well written (I did it on the phone, and I’ll revise the text later).

What I meant to say, is that almost all the apps chosen by Apple are based on in-app monthly (or annual) subscriptions.

I can fix her!!! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

What did you expect? Tim Crook and his gang always wanted to please China. Money is everything they care (to be fair to Apple, this issue affects probably every single company).

That’s why you can’t ever rely on them.

Always has been 🔫

Using your example, unless you’re a masochist why would you want to have a slower death?

I honestly don’t care about the downvotes, especially on a community called apple enthusiast.

Most of these people are hardcore fans, or blindly follow the brand without questioning them.

Even though I have an iPhone, iPad, MacBook and an Apple Watch, I’ll never be a follower of any brand. Fuck them all! They all care about profits. People that really care about the product (like the Wozniak and Jobs) are the ones that deserve the credits (even with their faults).

FYI, I work in tech, and I’ve been involved in QA (but on software side).

But I’ll admit my ignorance regarding hardware QA!

It doesn’t matter to you. But it’s a subject that still matters. And not every country in the world has AC+, so that you know!

Do you even believe what you wrote? Those kind of flaws don’t go out of the QA department…

I think I spotted the guy who sold the Finewoven’s idea to Tim. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Maybe, just maybe, there hasn’t been enough time to gather that data, since it was released just a few days ago?
