Gilmore’s quote was true then, it is not the current state of play.
If you need to use banking/government/transit apps, you need to play by the rules now
Apps are not the internet.
Many things need an app. I have to use a government one for work, there is no website for it. It’s locked down and will not work on a rooted phone. That’s what I mean.
I must be missing something here. Can we not just use the web version of the bank interface insteadvof an app? It still works for my banking, and I don’t even have the app. I just have to put my browser into desktop mode.
Yep but somehow apps have become the standard I guess.

They can make it so much harder to do that, to the point where almost everyone just gives up.
