We must demand from our elected officials to force apple to open up sideloading on the iphone as the walledgarden is anti-competitive and completely unjustified (lemmy.ca)

After Tim Cook donated $1 million to Donald Trump the one whose threatened tariffs and the territory sovereignty of Canada, the recent dealings with Starlink to improve satellite connectivity, the plans to bring back Apple ads to Twitter. All this behaviour from his company is unacceptable.

We need to contact our mps and call on them to table legislation that would force Apple to open up sideloading like how they have done in the European Union. You can find your mp's information here and remember letters to parliament do not require stamps. It's our hardware we bought, we have the right to do with it as we please. We need to open up the phones, tablets and watches.

So that we can have our canadian open-source app store alternative. Where we can support our local talented developers without Apple siphoning off the software sales.

Can we start just calling it "installing software"? Calling it "sideloading" gives creedance to apples (and other companies) claims that wanting to run whatever software you want to on the small computer you purchased is somehow unusual or unsafe.

I've been saying this forever but here in the US. Despite all the hate Google gets, at least Android is far more open than Apple.
