Except the ones that submit AI slop patches to projects without even understanding it or being upfront about it

I used to sell them.

The reality is, Apple Succeeded by lying about their stability, people thought they couldn’t get viruses, and people wiling to overlook their f***-ups.

Here in Australia, a week before Boot camp was released, i actually showed a national sales manager how we got Windows running on a Mac mini, and told him how it would be a great transition technology. He basically tried to make me look like an idiot in front of customers in our showroom.

A week later, boot camp was released. The same guy returned, and was repeating all the same arguments I made a week ago, and was proud of them, acting like Apple’s was brilliant. I got no apology. I should have called him out at the time, burnt my bridges and demanded an apology.

The things Microsoft and Google did are honestly less bad than honestly. Apple blatantly lied about a lot of things, stood on stage and pretended like they had full rights to multitouch, and they had invented it.

In fact, Microsoft bailed out Apple in 1997, and the moment they started recovering, they treated Microsoft like crap

Better off going elsewhere for Linux.

Linux will always be a second class citizen for Apple.

I really wish Jolla got their crap together honestly

Yeah. The only thing that will happen is that people will switch to competitors.

If we actually want to make a dent on google and apple, it would be better to help port sailfish to the latest phones.

That offers Android support, and adds more competition

Lol.

Are these guys going to strike on iOS too?

I’m sure this strike will be super effective at self sabotage

The big issue is that Android play store and iOS is a monopoly

A strike won’t fix that. What is really needed is a tier 1 phone with another app store which pays developers better, is easy to port to and is an alternative option . There is very little incentive for users to use a store that might not exist in 5 years and a strike of 100 devs won’t fix that.

Google will always maintain control over Android. The solution imho is to try to get sailfish ported to the latest phones. Or even a framework like phone (like one of the manufacturers planned years ago but never released)
