Where are those _free_ development environments Lewis (lies) about existing?

I guess privacy "does not matter at all to the vast majority of iOS users."

Q: *Can I run Tor Browser on an iOS device?*
A: <https://support.torproject.org/tormobile/tormobile-3/>
"Apple requires browsers on iOS to use something called Webkit,
which prevents [any browser] from having the same privacy protections
as Tor Browser."

you don't understand what 'free features from those frameworks' even
means.

Does this article tell anything significant?

Dunno, I don't use a smartphone.

yes, but it's not relevant to what's being discussed.

this is the significant part:
As we recently detailed in a 25,000-word article, Google's
messaging history is one of constant product startups and shutdowns.
Thanks to a lack of product focus or any kind of top-down mandate
from Google's CEO, no division is really "in charge" of messaging. As
a consequence, the company has released 13 half-hearted messaging
products since iMessage launched in 2011. If Google wants to look to
someone to blame for iMessage's dominance, it should start with
itself, since it has continually sabotaged and abandoned its own
plans to make an iMessage competitor.
google released *thirteen* messaging apps, all of which failed in the
marketplace.

not just one or two, but thirteen. that takes a special level of
incompetence.

the question to ask is why can't google write an imessage competitor.

yep, you dunno.

What I know is that the Android development environment is free.
And it works on Linux and Windows and even your vaunted Mac, nospam.

The iOS development environment isn't and doesn't.

so are the apple development environments (plural).

that also has nothing to do with 'free features from those frameworks',
yet another concept you do not understand.

you continue to dig yourself a deeper hole with every post.

Yet, since Wed, 5 Jan 2022 04:10:38 -0000 (UTC) Troll Doe's post ratio
to USENET (**) has been 64.2% of its posts contributing "nothing except
insults" to USENET.

** Since Wed, 5 Jan 2022 04:10:38 -0000 (UTC) Troll Doe has posted at
least 2196 articles to USENET. Of which 176 have been pure insults and
1234 have been Troll Doe "troll format" postings.

And yet, the clueless Troll Doe has continued to post incorrectly

Thu, 23 Jun 2022 06:55:12 -0000 (UTC) in message-id

NOBODY likes the John Doe troll's contentless spam.

This posting is a public service announcement for any google groups
readers who happen by to point out that John Dope does not even follow
the rules it uses to troll other posters.
