I don’t dispute imaginary statistics, there’s no point.

And if that were true, it makes no difference. Nintendo meticulously goes after fan projects and emulators that are completely legal. If they want to go after sites distributing ROMs - totally fair.

Saying Nintendo is only anti-consumer to pirates is a bootlicker take.

Emulation is not piracy. Don’t drink the Nintendo kool-aid.

Same. That was 2 days ago and nothing yet. I’m skeptical they even have staff to complete these requests. Not sure how long I’m gonna wait before just pulling the trigger. I’m planning to scramble as much data as possible and change my address to somewhere in California but doubtful that will do much.

This isn’t malware, it’s a scam which is harder to detect. No filtering process is ever 100% successful. I’d argue they do a good job at keeping out most of the junk. A quick look at the Playstore confirms this.

Sideloading is accessible to anyone with 15 minutes to educate themselves on it. I have a torrent client, an ad-free YouTube, and UTM sideloaded on my US iPhone.

I do not want to download a different app launcher for every app I download. Especially given they won’t be restricted to Apple’s strict privacy policies. Imagine a different launcher for every bank card, none of them supporting Wallet anymore.

I realize not everyone will agree with this, but I bought an iPhone for easy of use and because I like Apple’s offerings. I knew about the walled garden going in, and if I didn’t want to participate in it, I would just bought a different phone - as anyone is free to do.

They’ll refund anyone stupid enough to have fallen for it. What more do you need?

Wow congrats! And did you know not all churches are seen as community centers? You’re arguing against one persons anecdote with your own.

50? I’m going on 30 and I realized that 3 years ago. Hopefully more and more younger folk realize sooner and sooner.

I’ll add 2 more that resonate with me:

3. Discussions of distributing copyright material is banned. (Not actually sharing, obviously that is illegal, but they’ve banned the mere discussion of it.)
4. They have not defederated from Meta’s Threads

You can on any iOS device without jailbreaking. Look into AltStore or Sidestore. The caveat is that you can only sign 3 apps at a time, and must resign these apps every week - which is done over your WiFi to a PC running AltStore server.

If you have a $99/year Apple developer account, you can use AltStore to sign as many apps as you like, and you only need to resign once per year.

Hey! There are dozens of us!
