But we already have quantum proof passwords nowadays.

It highly depends on country, region, socioeconomic factors etc.

I think the issue now is that the market got fragmented and now you can’t find as much content as before without using multiple services, which is an annoyance.

I’ll still say that when it comes to developers, Apple is a much better experience than Google.

On the App Store you can appeal if your app is rejected and you have an actual human on the other side to explain you what are the issues.

On the Google Play, anything goes usually, but later if your account gets flagged by their automated system, you might 1) get a generic email with no explanation and a threat that you should fix it or the app will be taken down and your account get 1 out of 3 warnings; 2) get your account simply banned without explanation, losing all your services associated with Google forever with no appeal or anything you can do; 3) have your Google account simply disabled for supposedly being “associated” with some other account that was banned.

Many of these horror stories can be found on the Android development subreddits and I suspect this is the result of the Play Store being a big target of malicious or scam apps constantly.

It’s all about trust. The problem is that people trust Apple not to steal your credit card information and to honor subscription rules etc. You probably trust the independent platform a bit less, such as many of those scammer platforms who might even charge people more than they should by “mistake”, then have an awful process to get reimbursed etc.

In that sense, most people will always prefer Apple to manage these things. Everything’s then in one place, and you trust that once you cancel it you won’t be charged again.

As an example, I had a Netflix subscription and after I cancelled it, I’ve got 2 or three emails saying “Thank you for reactivating your subscription” which I didn’t do. I suspect they make some pop up that my mom tapped without noticing, but that definitely shouldn’t happen without my password. I could only solve the problem by adding a second payment method (which doesn’t work) and only then it allowed me to delete my previous credit card data.

Because there’s no solution that we know of.

Unfortunately, unless it is a moderators’ rule, this just won’t happen.

Probably parses old.reddit.com

Cancel or allow??

Lemmy is naturally more focused on technology, so sports communities will probably continue to be mostly on Reddit.

It seems so, some people in the thread complained their parents don’t use ChromeCast because it needed the phone to use. Apparently seniors are also better if you want to sell an expensive subscription when the opportunity arises.
