I am sick of people defending Apple

The user owns the device. They should be able load software without apples blessing.

The problem is simple.

  - There is no way for a user to load their own signing keys for the boot ROM to load other OSes like linux, or even simpler disable signature checks.

  - There is no way to give iOS your own signing keys or disable signing checks to run applications. As such there is no way for me to run Firefox rendering engine. This is because the app store policies. Then there are other open source applications that don't want to bother with having a developer account with apple.
There also the fact proprietary software probably raises their prices. So the user eats the 30% instead. Unlike the case if that software were able to self distribute.

UN chief:16 armed groups have responded to cease-fire appeal

Resim
Sixteen armed groups have responded positively to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ appeal for a global cease-fire to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, but the U.N. chief said Thursday that mistrust remains high and turning intentions into an end to hostilities is difficult. According to an informal tally kept by the U.N. based on various sources, the 16 armed groups that responded positively are from Yemen, Myanmar, Ukraine, Philippines, Colombia, Angola, Libya, Senegal, Sudan, Syria, Indonesia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Guterres said his special representatives and envoys are working, with his own involvement when necessary, “to turn expressed intentions into effective cease-fires.” from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2WfZj8N
