I posted the above because I find it insane that many major companies are requesting their employees to use such dangerous products as Microsoft offerings, especially 365 and even more so with Copilot.
Outside of jobs but for some productions and personal projects I only past used AmigaOS, IRIX, SunOS, Oracle Solaris, various versions of macOS (Classic & Darwin), and a few Linux distributions such as Red Hat with KDE or GNOME. Microsoft has always been a no-go for me, and this company does everything to remain away from me forever.

@BernieDoesIt @Catvalente there is:

  • REFUSE TO RELEASE ON #iOS UNTIL THE TERMS ARE CHANGED!

As with every #Platform, #Software makes #OperatingSystems and the #OperatingSystem makes #Hardware.

  • This worked with #WindowsPhone and #UWP: everyone refused to build #Apps for it and thus it died pretty quickly.

And if you want to say that's not an option, take a look at #AltStore which automates all the necessary work to perpetually #sideload any #App on iOS in a noob-friendly way.

Remember: "Everyone else does it" never was and never will be a valid excuse for any shit system!

  • Also you could just refuse to offer the sales on Apple's platform and add any "#Premium Features" post-launch with your own payment & licensing infrastructure. If you're big enough or small enough you may get away with it. #NotLegalAdvice

Otherwise band together with other #developers and coordinate.

And if you allow Apple to exploit you harder than #Valve, then you normalize that shit!
