not directly, devices have different use cases. the quest while having good optics has a lower resolution and lower stereo overlap, it’s impossible to connect to pc without extra latency or compression artifacts, lower refresh rate. For a sim racer using a dedicated rig replacing batteries is a negative as well as the other drawbacks mentioned.

If we’re talking about loading apps - as in the subject of this post - pretty much exactly the same. Registered developer account, a walled garden ecosystem, etc.

they’re not the same at all. even after this registration change fully rolls out it will still be much easier to sideload apks on android than ipa on ios.

you cannot distribute updates at all on ios without their review and there’s no ability to sideload with random apps. you can now and still can easily do this on android especially for registered businesses that do sideloading.

i work professionally releasing on both platforms and it’s so much easier releasing to production vs apple who suddenly rejected future updates until i changed the screenshots to fit their aesthetic.

they’re not “pretty much exactly the same” for developers nor consumers.

it would have to get much worse in order for an android enthusiast to move to a worse platform for developers.

they would rather go full linux than ios

can i a(i)db on iphone to permanently install applications?

That is true, but rooted devices, non-certfied android devices, and adb still allows users to sideload without restriction though the direction is concerning.

Unfair competition: The DMA’s rules only apply to Apple, even though Samsung is the smartphone market leader in Europe, and Chinese companies are growing fast. Apple has led the way in building a unique, innovative ecosystem that others have copied — to the benefit of users everywhere. But instead of rewarding that innovation, the DMA singles Apple out while leaving our competitors free to continue as they always have.

I don’t get this? isn’t samsung android based which allows sideloading by defaul?

oh wow this is crazy.

If you’re on pc you’re better off using the original and surreal 98 to play in UE 5 with modern textures lighting and vr support less than $20

gotta keep the kids safe from pinterest lmao

besides input lag, and motion blur

you can use adb without unlocking bootloader

Seems okay, Reddit should eliminate the powermods

I do local ai stuff and i get more support with nvidia cuda, and you usually get exclusive gaming features first on nvidia like dlss, rtx, and voice

I wish they shipped with more vram though

the days of everything is numbered even our sun so yeah i agree

I think the right thing is to diversify your media sources.

the dotcom bust was much worse

I go where the relevant content is. I clearly don’t mind using alternative social media like Lemmy, but tiktok has great creators and indie music that I wouldn’t be exposed to anywhere else.

I use multiple social networks to prevent bias with adblockers to limit how much money they make.

As someone who used tiktok when he was a meme with the French song, it was a blatant action done against him. They (shadow) banned all the tiktok accounts making edits of him, they modified search results to put the official new sources relating to him at the top, hiding the user-generated content. Note, they did the same thing during the California wildfires to show only verified account videos to hide misinformation.

I think Tate is a grifter, but we really shouldn’t let governments or big tech companies to artificially hide content because someone is a controversial figure.

You currently cannot search ‘hitler’ on tiktok at all. It’s all a slippery slope that led to age verification, chat control, etc.

in a way it did with dlc
