Open post Rairii @Rairii@haqueers.com · 47mo ago Replying to @brianhough@mastodon.social @Rairii@haqueers.com @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social @esqueer@mastodon.social I don’t mind that they moderate their own app stores. I think that’s reasonable; the problem is on iOS, where side loading isn’t a thing and it’s App Store or bust for 99% of the user base. @brianhough@mastodon.social @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social @esqueer@mastodon.social the fact that the Play Store uses APIs that alternative app stores can't use (without root/etc) is also a problem

Open post Rairii @Rairii@haqueers.com · 46mo ago Replying to @Popehat@mastodon.social <p>Okay. Migrated from masthead.social to mastodon.social. Meanwhile, here's the Substack on my decision to leave Twitter.</p><p><a href="https://popehat.substack.com/p/goodbye-twitter" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">popehat.substack.com/p/goodbye</span><span class="invisible">-twitter</span></a></p> @Popehat kind of an odd choice to migrate TO website boy's server i guess most of the decent smaller servers are at least requiring account approval now though.

Open post Rairii @Rairii@haqueers.com · 33mo ago Replying to @qwertyoruiop@nso.group @Rairii @siguza because I’m not deep enough into the fedi iceberg. should I not run mastodon? @qwertyoruiop @siguza i mean you can if you want but mastodon needs a hell of a lot more system resources compared to the lighterweight alternatives
Open post Rairii @Rairii@haqueers.com · 47mo ago Replying to @hackbod@mastodon.social @Rairii@haqueers.com @brianhough@mastodon.social @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social @esqueer@mastodon.social Which APIs? I think the only one of significance is being able to directly install an app without going through the platform's confirmation dialog. Any pre-installed store can get this permission, it just isn't available to things not pre-installed, which seems reasonable? We did improve this recently where non-pre-installed apps can now install updates to apps they had previous installed without confirmation. @hackbod@mastodon.social @brianhough@mastodon.social @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social @esqueer@mastodon.social Directly installing an app was what I was thinking of.
Open post Rairii @Rairii@haqueers.com · 47mo ago Replying to @hackbod@mastodon.social @Rairii@haqueers.com Ah okay so you'd like an AOSP feature where you could say "allow this app to silently install other apps without me knowing about it"? (Just checking, that is something I personally would be super uncomfortable with having. It's better now with runtime permissions, at the very least this could not be used for installing pre-Marshmallow apps where permissions are shown to the user at install time.) @hackbod@mastodon.social if multiple taps need to be done in third-party app stores then it should be the same for the play store, IMO.

Really should consult with sex workers like ashley lake who is all too familiar with apples anti porn polices. @skymtf@tech.lgbt @rant@mas.to @brianhough@mastodon.social @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social @esqueer@mastodon.social didn't porn get banned on tumblr because apple told them to under threat of app removal?
