side-loading in iOS has been possible for some time now

Absolutely, in addition to this, you can sideload apps as well without issue. I do it all the time

and iOS supports sideloading, don’t twist reality. The elitism is dripping from every word of your comment. It’d be alright if your comments were based in reality but they aren’t :/

is it a fair comparison to draw when someone only knows how to use a VPN if it’s in the App Store

This whole thread is absurd, sideloading is possible on iOS, end of story. As per the original OP, their comment is 100% about sideloading

My message is clearly talking about side loading. Don’t twist my words.

This is why you don’t buy into closed-garden ecosystems like this.

You can absolutely set up a VPN without any app, thus your argument of how this is a reason why the walled-garden concept is flawed. iOS also has side-loading btw :)

There’s really only one choice if you care about freedom.

There really isn’t just one choice if you care about freedom, it’s ironic you think a singular choice is the way forward anyway when talking about freedom. Really interesting how you shape this narrative based on zero facts.

Lastly, I think it’s very funny that you think Google is someone you can trust to give you freedom

GUI users = low skill ✅

Majority GUI a weak subset and of little use ✅

Elitism ✅

Of course, this is all couched in “use what you like”, and top it off with a general sentiment of how this post is all but useless.

If someone has to ask you for your git fu help the problem isn’t GUI use it’s the incompetence and/or inability to solve it yourself. Implying a strong correlation of the two is where I take issue.

My personal experience? A built in GUI saves you so much time like the one in JetBrains IntelliJ, if I need something more use case oriented that is more than the core fn (intelliJ’s does not simply include fetch/push/pull, but much more including everything in the graphic) then I click terminal tab and do what I need. Similarly the git tree provides an immediate view and context of the branches, changes, tags etc.

It’s almost like filtering people into GUI and CLI boxes doesn’t really work.

Nobody used the damn thing, but shuttering it makes them cowards? k

The fate of Mozilla is sad, I know one day they will announce a move to chromium.

why the fuck would they kill the thing that makes them money? Do you even understand what you are implying here??

Exactly what I suspected. How could you even truly prove such a thing

are you fucking kidding me?? TEN MB IN 20 FUCKING 24.

Discord is such fuckin TRASH

This is the real story, they ain’t choosin shit. They’re being kicked the fuck out. Elon takin tips from DonOld T

it literally could not be anywhere else. Texas is a safe-space for oligarchs and bigots. That’s why Elon and Joe Rogan and all these other asshats left CA for TX.

Except for manager-level peeps who crave the power and control that comes from dictating how people live their lives under them

No it doesn’t sound bad, words don’t need to be thrown away forever just because they’ve been used to describe unfair treatment. I’m so sick of having to relabel so many things that are so far divorced from the social issues they are used to describe. It’s so pointless and has no impact, the code doesn’t care which is master and which is the slave for they are simply descriptive labels.

Are we supposed to never use the words master or slave ever again?? What’s next?

My dev friends, no matter their race, all say the exact same thing. We still use master over main, come at us I guess.

100% coincidence
