Yea, right. It would've been another platform to capitalize on the internet becoming more available and digital distribution becoming viable.

You don't need any third party proprietary launcher to run software

Don't be naïve. As long as greed is enabled in our society this or worse would've always been the outcome. Or do you think other companies would've slept on the opportunity?

Are you using lemmy through a third party proprietary launcher?

Yes, Android. Why?

The fact is we need new regulations and laws but the government will never act if bootlickers like you are the majority.

Stop defending billionaires that are actively robbing you.

Nice strawmen you got there. Where the fuck did you see me defend a billionaire?!

I am just being realistic here. Our current society enables greed and greed would've always led to this situation or worse. We need to change the system fundamentally to change that.
