As a consumer it also doesn't seem right that Apple can just use all their private APIs that no other company is allowed to use to tell me what I can and can't use on my phone. If I want Anthropic to have the same level of access that Apple grants itself on _my_ phone, I should be able to do so.
- aurareturn 3mo agoIf I want Anthropic to have the same level of access that Apple grants itself on _my_ phone, I should be able to do so. I want to install my personal software on my refrigerator, washing machine, hand shaver, coffee maker. I bought them. They're mine. /s If people want to buy open hardware, then just buy those. If they don't exist, make them yourself.
- gumby271 3mo agoJust make a new phone OS lol, problem solved.
- aurareturn 3mo agoIf the demand for installing your own software is so great, a company would make it.
- KawaiiCyborg 3mo agoDo you rather want your refrigerator, washing machine and coffee maker send all the data it collects about you during your usage to some company you don't even know? How is it ridiculous to want to be able to make your devices do what you want to do, not what the big company behind it wants?
- aurareturn 3mo agoThose machines don’t connect to the internet but I want to run my own software on them.
- KawaiiCyborg 3mo ago1. A lot of those more recent machines do actually connect to the internet. 2. Since you want to run your own software on them, but you can't buy open hardware like that, did you build it yourself then as you suggested? "If they don't exist, make them yourself."
- aurareturn 3mo ago1. I want to run my own software even on the ones that don’t connect to the internet. /s 2. No, I don’t have the skills to. But if it’s so important to you, you can surely build it yourself.
- Danox 3mo agoDon’t buy it you have Android which is 3/4 of the world? What’s the problem? You also have Windows which is also 3/4 of the world.
- KawaiiCyborg 3mo agoAs if Android and Windows don't also use the same tactics. Windows used to not let you uninstall Edge and Android used to just default to Chrome and Google Search, now they have to prompt you what you actually want to use. If the big companies are left unchecked, of course they'll use their size to bully other players to increase their own profit, but always at the cost of the customer.
- aurareturn 3mo agoSurely there must be a phone you can buy that lets you do that right?
