Spotify’s “unprecedented” popularity justified the deal.

    Add it to the pile of app store shenanigans

    • Apple flavoring megacorps like Google and Microsoft for keyboards over FlickType, an accessible independent keyboard
    • Apple making up BS excuses for why Ice Cubes, n open source Mastodon client, couldn’t be on the app store alongside closed source clients

          No, he said Google and Microsoft had the apple flavoring, as opposed to a smaller company.

      Ice cubes is on the Apple Store though… or is this something that happened in the past and has since been changed?

        It was an uphill battle. IMO a very unfair one.

        More than one thing can be true at once. Doesn’t mean it’s shilling.

          Did I say shilling? Just don’t see the point of the comment, that’s all.
