What's the most infuriating thing about iOS for you?

I'll start with the Photos app, which doesn't play audio by default, and you always have to re-enable it after a bit for mysterious reasons.

lol Threads is still not available in EU

How is it even possible that there’s no way in tvOS to completely block an app?

I want the YouTube completely nuked from the existence but there’s no easy way to do, and my kids can easily redownload the app because I already have it in my account

I disagree with the current CEO of Mastodon about his stance on mid-sized instances. We don't want to be run in isolation, we are part of the Fediverse. "Normal users just want the default", he can repeat that as many times as he wants, it doesn't make it true because of that.

Diversity is the DNA of the Fediverse and Mastodon is just one part of the whole. Thousands of people spend their time and money to make it successful. Anyone who dismisses that and single-handedly tries to market the Fediverse as a Mastodon brand and use "crowding out" techniques to prevent users from even being encouraged to choose an instance from a diversity will ultimately fail.

I am super disappointed with the direction Mastodon Corporation is taking. If there is not enough headwind here soon, then sooner or later it will lead to a schism.

I see a lot of people believe there is no way to have #privacy online. Corporations have pushed so hard that many are persuaded and disillusioned.

Privacy-compliant alternative software exists and it's up to you to choose and promote it.

Tracking tools are not required but wanted technologies: it is not something inevitable inside a software.

When you see it that way, your approach to software change and you will also learn to love #ethical software as you know how to appreciate organic food.
