> To the people who've been in this situation, what would you do in Huffman's shoes?

- Extend the 30 day to apply the pricing to 6 months (at least) to let people figure it out their stuff ; - Give some leverage for the _existing_ 3 party apps that contributed to reddit till this point on the form of a smaller price;

> Developers already pay Apple & Google 30% for the privilege of being in the app stores. Is it too much for the very service that is powering your entire app to ask for their own cut?

Mind you that price is just part of the problem - the 30-day to start charging, was just as bad. It's absurd and completely made to kill the 3PS. Maybe if they have maintained the price but gave time for apps to discuss/adapt/replan, they could have found other options.

Vaccines reduce spread because of lower viral load. Also reduces severity.

Antivaxxers can be execrated for all I care - dumbest way to enforce your freedom

> Nobody is going to not put their app on the apple app store.

Epic will, and this is what they want

> Almost every game on steam can be purchased somewhere else, like icth.io or the game's website. 30% is industry standard among monopolistic players (Google play store, Apple app store, Steam).

That is a very different use case

Nope. Hurts overall experience. Not only the App's won't be curated the same as the other ones, but now I would have to maybe reach to some webside to download a .ipa file or to download a secondary App store to get a apps that otherwise would be available on App Store.

> how did you work out that the amount apple gets paid (30%) is the "correct" amount? The only way to find out is via competition. But due to the monopolistic powers of apple, there cannot be competition on their platform. Thus, we do not know the true cost of maintaining this platform - only that apple is able to maintain it with at least 30%.

30% is industry standard.

> nobody is forcing you to use the third party app store if it does exist. If you continued to use apple's curated store, you will continue to get the existing benefits. Adding an extra option can't possibly hurt you.

It hurts the ecosystem - and all its users. Splitting the apps in multiple app stores is a nightmare

I don't get the point: the whole idea of Apple is to have everything under their control. Nobody is forcing anyone to use Apple devices

> Apple competing with third party app stores on iOS is going to be amazing. No computer platform should be allowed to prevent sideloading or other stores from competing.

The walled garden is a selling point, a feature - I don't care about sideloading at all. You want to sideload? Grab and Android.

So... What's the better runtime alternatives?

No love for SA remote? :(

Hey, just to point out with rascompanies.com is giving certificate problems.

Is Pinterest going WFH?

> So if you are a junior, let me say it: Build profile and reputation. Seek for good people to follow and be heard. Don't put everything in one company or project. I'm trying this right now.

Fuck dude, are you me?
