Re: Is it going to matter ?

Both Apple and Google have different ideologies. Apple with its walled garden versus Google that it is mostly open to everybody.

What we got (10 years later) for gaming.

IOS is flooded with casual games, mostly are pay-to-win.

Android has a lot of games, it has casual games, hardcore games, emulations, etc. There are tons of games for free (not pay-to-win), so it is a win situation for the customer.

Also, practically all joypads are compatible with Android, unlikely IOS where only a few joypads are compatible. It is because Apple also plays some abusive rules with OEM and hardware manufacturers.

For example, I play PSX games using my Razer Kishi and my android phone.

Re: Dear Apple...

Apple is an a***hole company because

* It abuses the developers.

* It abuses the companies that want to put their programs there.

* It abuses the consumers too.

Apple charges for every developer every year. Over top, it charges a cut per purchase. And, Apple changes the rules on a whim and unilaterally.

I don't trust in politics, which one? all of them.

So, please, write it down and make public the new rules. Otherwise, I am pretty sick of politics promising X and giving Y.

Nice hypothesis but it's funny how some guys jump from a hypothesis to an axiom (and they claim themselves champions of science).

Audacity fork maintainer quits after alleged harassment by 4chan losers who took issue with 'Tenacity' name

I there: (I de-lurker just for this news)

I don't want to defend any 4chan but sheesh, everybody knows that 4chan are not the guys that act in persona (and some of them I doubt that they will go out).

But let's show the evidence.

* The forker said that he was attacked.

* But, there is no evidence, no arrest, no photos (why? 2021 and nobody even has a phone camera?).

* Not a record talking with the cops or a lawyer.

And truly, nobody really cares about a fork on Github, nobody (but companies and lawyers).
