Is there more scams of web3 in the App Store or on the open internet? Not defending Apple but kind of a strawman to claim they said it stops 100% of fraud and abuse. That’s like saying seatbelts don’t work because people still get hurt in car crashes.
Apple are pretty bad for this and I don't think it's the first time it's happened. A lot of the problem is if you search for some app in the iOS app store the top result is a paid ad and the established app you want is the second result so people who don't know that click on the top one and lose their funds.
Also they should check the app but wallet security is tricky - you can put subtle vulnerabilities in that are hard to spot.
And don't you think its a strawman to compare only being and to install "" approved "" ($100/year for apple) software to a seatbelt? There is no use case for not wearing a seatbelt. That is not true for being able to install software.
Plenty of people disagree that there is no use case to not wearing a seatbelt. That you find it impossible to imagine makes it an even better analogy actually.
People can disagree with whatever, everyone is allowed to be stupid.
But most reasonable people agree there's no tangible use case to not wearing a seatbelt. There are infinite tangible use cases to using software outside the app store, that reasonable people can all acknowledge.
I don’t believe for a second that the real reason is security by obscurity. They probably believe they can make more money not being open source and this sounds like a better excuse than ”we wanna make more money”.
Probably, and I don’t care and kinda wish they boldly said so too. It’s their product to do with what they want, they built it.
One of the ugliest parts of open source is people believing they’re entitled to you working for free forever. And instead of being thankful you gave years of your labor for free, people get angry at you for not continuing to do so forever. And try to shame you as if you’re somehow greedy if that changes.
Do you work exclusively pro-bono on open source projects? Or do you work a job where you only go in if you get paid?
I once worked in a company and noticed that customer financial statements were publicly accessible. Ran into the software team. And got the reply that no one told them that it should be behind authentication. Some people really don't use their own brains.
No, not all land isn’t the same. It is far more profitable to grow a high value crop vs plain grass. But some land just isn’t great for other things than grass. You have large cattle farms in Australia where you can’t grow anything other than grass and other wild plants.
Starving people in North Korea are surviving (since per definition they are surviving if they are not dead). Doesn’t mean North Korean diet is something we should strive for.
Average North Korean is now about 3 inches shorter than the average South Korean [0]. 70 years ago they were the same people with the same height... Both nations have very little in the way of immigration so this difference is all due to the environment (i.e. in this case nutrition).
Aha. All the grass humans could eat instead of the cows. Not all land is great for growing crops at. Other land is just good for growing grass for cattle to graze on.
Ah yes, beef is produced predominantly using grad fed cows? The feed is an agricultural product produced on farmland that could be used to produce food.
I'm not a vegan or whatever, but get real with the impact of meat production.
