IMO if an app is pulled from Google Play their license verification should just return true.

They can’t tell if you still have the files or not.

Thank God that’s how it is lol

The problem is I don’t want to reload macOS over every tiny fuckup like in the SymbianOS days.

Germany?

They fucking deserve it.

Sorting out a Mac is troublesome. Errors that give you no information, lack of easy access to advanced utilities, and of course, it bring all in the name of “It Just Works! ™”. I found myself cursing at a Mac, but never had on literally any other operating system ever. Even TempleOS is easier to troubleshoot.

Errors on every major OS:

Windows: The application could not start because of missing dll X (0xb). Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
Linux: Could not find libfluidsynth.so.1. Reason: No such file or directory!
macOS: Could not connect to this network.
Android: App not installed. There's also another "There was a problem parsing the package" which either means it's corrupted or your phone is from the Stone Age.
iOS: Literally reboots your iPhoney every 3 minutes because the fucking microphone is broken.

Now let’s see what those errors tell me.

Windows: A DLL is missing. Either it got corrupted or the user fucked up.
Linux: App is linking against a super old library. Update the app or compile it to use a newer library.
macOS: LITERALLY NOTHING. Super vague, but at least the Android one below only appears when you are sideloading (you should know what you're doing)
Android: While the error itself is vague, it usually means "no space left" or "bad signature". Again, if you see this error, you should know what you're doing.
iOS: I couldn't tell unless I knew the mic was broken.

Guess how many times my Dad had trouble with Bluetooth on macOS. More than I can count, to the point of needing to steal my mic from me.

Apple is a huge mess tbh, you have NOT done tech support for Apple stuff, it’s a pain. Android, otoh, is a breeze. I’ve always found Apple stuff jankier.

Your fault for buying into the anti-consumer Apple ecosystem

How about you use Revanced?

Your apps have simple IAP checks then.

About your 3rd sentence, why? (I use FF, I’m just curious)

Then your apps are just insecure.

That was one, and it was removed. Don’t bullshit, please.

LP works 1% of the time rooted.

So mobilism dot me is fake? Fuck.

Trojans that install themselves into the MBR will just screw up your boot process on a UEFI system and vice versa. Also, if you don’t use a default bootloader, you’ll definitely notice something on a UEFI system if it tries to delete all other bootloaders.

On BIOS systems however, it gets a little tricky, since it just blindly reads the first few sectors, without respect to what you “set” as the default, so that Trojan could just add itself and move everything over a bit, and you can’t tell. See the Michelangelo MBR virus. It wiped your drive on March 6 of any year.

On a UEFI system, the best it could do is replace the Microsoft bootloader, and that would trip Secure Boot, which is enabled by default. Even then you don’t need to directly modify sectors or format your drive, you can just replace the bootloader.

Nooooooooo…

How about FUCK U/SPEZ instead? That’d be hilarious.
