I have an app for programming my chicken coop. My 401k company just created an app for onboarding new participants.

These should have been mobile friendly webpages.

    My 401k company just created an app for onboarding new participants.

    “If you’d like me to run company software, you’ll have to provide a company device for me to run it on.”

    Never install work software on a personal device. Security, Privacy, Expectations (regarding personal resources).

    Along with this, never use personal software/accounts/services with company devices. You can’t be sure who’s watching and can’t be sure you’ll have a chance to remove/collect your personal data before being locked out of said device.

    I agree. It’s way more sus to download an app. The reason social media sites push apps over websites is because they can harvest a lot more data that way.

    And not every program needs an installer.

    Just because I downloaded a program to write ISOs to a USB drive, does not mean it needs to be installed on the system. Unless it’s something like MS Office, why does it need to be installed? Just give me a zip file, I will extract it and delete it when I don’t need it anymore.

    I hate propietary apps that are just services or stores and especially when they refuse to have a website and make you download their app.

    I do not need 200 apps on my phone. Just one web browser app will do.
