I download all my apps on my MacBook from brew/cask. I choose not to use the app store. I don't put my faith in corporations, but I'm also not putting the security of my phone in the hands of a 3rd party app store either.



Your laptop, however, is fair game?


Brew has security audits and mechanisms in place to prevent bad actors. I trust OSS volunteers more than I trust corporations, does that make sense?


Let me introduce you to the NPM team!


If 3rd party appstores are allowed what stops people from having an open source one?
