or are they (as I believe) two different things with the same name?

They are.

FreshRSS is self-hostable and as far as I can tell - gPodder isn't.

It is.

Could but don't.

I don't use it. I only listen to podcasts on my phone.

It is both a sync service and a client.

I mean it's kind of a big deal LOL Especially when dealing with 4k+ footage.

That was comparing desktop OS to mobile OS

It doesn't matter. The point stands.

neither is iOS a workstation

Yes it is. It's a general computing device. The XBOX is a dedicated gaming device.

Okay but the problem isn’t the type of apps

As far as this discussion, it very much is.

So either you should be able to get application / games from multiple sources or not.

You absolutely should be able to on all platforms, but some are more important than others and comparing them like they're all the same makes no sense.

I'd love to see the source for this "3 friends" statistic, that sounds like a mountain of bullshit.

It's the system that forces most dudes to keep coming up with new ways to make ever higher profit. If they don't, they open the door to competition that would.

No, they can continue to make the same profit and still not open the door for competition. The need for ever-higher profits is driven by investors.

Do you think GOG and Epic Games want Steam

Nobody gives a shit what they want. Monopoly enforcement is about consumers.

Yep, same reason you can't buy anything on Amazon Prime TV either.

There's no need to get offended. Replace MS with MacOS and the point stands.

Thank god for the EU, which forced Apple to back down:

As for canadians/americans, they are in jail.

This isn't the EU, this is the US. Epic Games will be back in the App Store in US next week.
