We need to create a independent mobile device

Here is one of the reasons why we need a mobile device that is not depending on app store or google play

There might be fortnite players strongly supporting this decision , see the thing is these large companies are doing nothing but using the small developers and paying even less than a minimum wage to a worker working for them in underdeveloped and developing countries.

All they care about is profit.

Problem with this would be : security

But at the same time we can create a third party open source system which might run on blockchain and at the same time get the thing done.The small developers can work together to make it secure and this way they can even beat the google play and even apple with right direction.

This will indeed start a revolution.

Apple after asking word press showed how greedy and jealous these big companies are, I like the idea but execution will be a little difficult.

Apple just kicked Fortnite off the App Store

Apple says Epic is violating its App Store guidelines by using its own payment system

https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/13/21366438/apple-fortnite-ios-app-store-violations-epic-payments

Years and years ago.

Apple originally discontinued support for flash to push their own competing multimedia technology. (What was apple's competing intellectual property at the time btw was it quicktime?)

Microsoft deliberately sabotages OpenGL's performance on windows to better push their own competing technology Direct X.

Apple kicking fortnite off their app store may seem like an isolated incident, an exception. In reality its normalized and more common than most realize.

Well, this is quite a laborious job, and it really takes a lot of preparation.

Are you referring to something like this? https://impulse.technology/ . For the record I think this company is a scam and I'm not really sure this device really even exists. This is made by the company Karatbars who's a player in the bullion game. They make some cool gold notes/coins. They are also involved in cryptocurrency and have a couple different coins. Again, I think they aren't to be trusted ( have some pending legal issues ).

we dont know yet if this "new technology" can really deliver what they are lobbying for. how solid is their technology with potential hacking scenarios? since they are new, they dont have the record of that yet. so we need more time how to assess their real performance once users are really using their technology. but right now, i dont think we can trust this new technology especially that they have pending legal issues. so we dont know how tight is their security system or who knows, they may have backdoor that we dont know of?

Isn't there mobile versions of Linux operating systems now like Ubuntu? It's on companies to decide what they want to support, if you tried making an app store for apple, you'll get sued if you're not based in Europe because "socialism is bad even if it serves a good purpose".

As for the Google play store, there's the amazon appstore already. Some companies like huawei tried making their own too but they didn't last long/are still in development.

Nope there is no ubuntu os for devices ... pretty much each manufacturer adds his own OS and and he decides what apps he allows on the device .

And another problem after you buy the device it takes 2-3 year before you need to buy new one so you can upgrade to download apps .

They control what we see and what we do on the devices we buy ...
