@grepe@ieji.de @jdelacueva@mastodon.social @IvanSanchez@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @fruitchypear@owo.cafe @greatlaketrout@noc.social i feel it is useful here to separate corporate needs from consumer ones with corporate devices, you actually do want this kind of control. but then the user is not supposed to own the device, it's the company's device with consumer devices, the user owns the device, which means everything should be on their terms. someone else should not have the "freedom" to decide things on my device. my device means my rules. the application should just do what i want it to do and nothing else
