![]() ![]() ![]() They don't want that, so now CJEU has to slowly but surely beat actual compliance into them. The reason it's so obnoxious is because these businesses know that if they start being honest with what's being tracked, they'll lose a shitton of income (Facebook reportedly lost 12 billion just because Apple allowed users to randomize their advertisement ID). Problem solved, consent obtained and/or rejected. If they didn't, then don't show the popup on any site using Analytics. Store one cookie for Google Analytics as a whole that is just "I don't consent", that would have been enough to comply. This could easily have been implemented in any number of user-friendly ways - ie. The legislation is really good actually it orders sites that want to place tracking cookies (Google Analytics for example relies on this) to request consent from the user before they're allowed to do so. The Cookie directive being awful for end-users has nothing to do with the EUs actual legislation, it's a case of scummy companies maliciously trying to not comply with it. I don't know how the jailbreak community is doing now and I have moved to android a long time ago, but I am eagerly awaiting the time when apple has to allow side loading, then I might become interested in iOS again. However do note that this was never embraced by cydia, third party repositories and stores were used for that.Ĭydia and jailbreaking is how I got into computer science and learned how to host my own debian repository as a kid before I got into actual debian and linux. This practice was apparently more common in asian countries like china which led to some jailbreaks being supplied by chinese groups funded by alternative app store companies. Debian, paid repositories became a thing and some of those became first class citizens of cydia, or in other words, they were pre configured in cydia.Ī lot of the business in jailbreaking always had to do with pirating and cracking apps and there were alternative app-stores offering paid apps for free. Iirc, dpkg and apt were ported/compiled for iOS and then cydia was created by saurik which is basically just a frontend for apt. This can be circumvented with root and apparently Google is changing this process to make it uniform when the Digital Markets Act goes into effect. : The one difference between the Play Store and a third party apk installer is that the Play Store gets to ignore the installation request popup. Apple created a perverse incentive to basically ruin the App Store with stuff that extracts as much money as possible, then started selling people a separate subscription service to actually get games people do want to use.īy contrast, the Google Play Store (Androids closest equivalent, albeit slightly different since Android has a far more open model) is just a single 25 USD fee to prove you're a real human and after that there's no financial barriers. This is also why the platform has so many money-sucking timewasting "games" to be clear. With F/OSS, budgets often are almost non-existent, so those operational expenses aren't made since they're not justifiable from a hobbyist, donation-funded perspective. It costs 100 USD every year to just keep an app published (they charge this via their dev license). Putting that one aside (GPL is hardly the only license on the OSS field after all), the App Store model is just plainly too prohibitively expensive to publish a FOSS app for unless you're planning to maximize value. On a basic level, the GPL is incompatible with their codesigning processes and they have no intent of changing that (VLC ran into this wall several times until they managed to work around it). It's straight up non-viable to put up F/OSS apps into the app store. SponsorBlock also has an official Safari extension available. It’s helpful to have when you want to watch videos in 4K - something most Invidious or Piped servers struggle with. It makes using YouTube in the browser so much more tolerable. Vinegar is a Safari extension that blocks YouTube ads and replaces the player with the default WebKit html player. These extensions are universal AppStore purchases and work just as well on mobile as they do on desktop Safari. Safari Extensions - I prefer watching YouTube in the browser. It runs way better than the official YouTube app. It’s available on all Apple platforms included tvOS. It can connect either Piped or Invidous servers. Yatte is a third party client built from scratch in swift ui. There is no need to fuss with all of that, when there are plenty of good options on the AppStore. That feels unsafe to run untrusted code, and I personally don’t want to review the code myself or build from source if that’s even possible. I prefer to avoid sideloading modified versions of the official iOS apps. You can get sponsor and ad free YouTube through the App Store. ![]()
