Does it really count if the thanklessness is well deserved?

They should just swap the names for pickup artists and garbage men.

Flatpaks definitely do follow the system theme by default. I’m running Silverblue, so all my apps are Flatpaks.

Honestly my hope is still that the EU intervenes, which I consider to be around 50% given they’re a generally a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to regulations.

Have become? If anything, iOS have historically been getting more customizable over time not less.

And I don’t think it’s really accurate to compare iOS with MacOSX and earlier, entirely different systems with different use cases and form factors. I’d recon if Apple released a phone in 2002 it’s be just as locked down.

Not trying to defend this by the way, just surprised by the usage of the word “become” here as if it used to be different for iPhones.

If you think four years of technical debt is a lot, wait until you hear about Microsoft Windows.
