This kind of thing is coming for Android as well once Google has converted it to it's own walled garden bullshit.

Keep on buying, y'all. Show 'em we mean business when we're appalled at their actions. Giving them more money will surely let them know how much we want change!
Oh we are way passed the point where "voting with your dollar" means literally anything. These billionaires are making more money than they ever have in human history. They have literally turned all of society across large swaths of the world into a gigantic personal capital generator. It makes literally not a single difference if all of us here boycotted them or not. It's meaningless.
...and it happened in a vacuum, just all by itself.

Why not just make it a website? We're not doing censoring yet, right?

Fuck Apple but honestly this app is like trying to stay warm with matches in Antarctica.
Fuck Apple and I'd prefer matches in Antarctica to no matches in Antarctica.

Sheer fucking cowardice
From the heroes who bravely took away the headphone jack
You see why Google attempting to lock down installing whatever apps you want is a bad idea? This is an example of what will happen.
Something sensitive like this really should be a PWA (and web app for iOS users)

Walled garden = poop town
apple and the us government and ice can all suck a dick
I wish we could use a “regular” app like Waze and start reporting “icy weather” as code for ICE. I mean we can, but idk how to make it a thing. Kinda how they were using “winter boots” as code on TikTok for ICE to get around the censors.
