How much "feedback" do you think it will take to make them contradict the vindictive sitting President? Apple doesn't care about what you think about this because it's not for you.
You know what you can do? Stop giving them money. Write them an email from your iCloud account, then delete said account. Cancel any subscriptions (this seemed to be effective against Disney).
The fed gov holds too much power. You have to show them that Americans, collectively, have more power to affect their bottom line than the Pres, and (most importantly) are willing to exercise it.
Apple fans are not that type of person, though. They're better than everyone else, and so is their owning entity! They can do no wrong, this app was obviously guilty of doxxing cops ...
The only people worse than Apple fans, are Apple haters.
Because I see a lot of vocal Apple haters on Lemmy, just shitting all over Apple users, but I rarely see Apple users here shitting on Android or anything else.
Here come the devil's advocates, good lord that is something I don't miss from Reddit.
Wake up call! Apple doesn't need you defending it. It is okay to shit on them. This isn't about fairness so please take you tired schtick somewhere else.
Apple is the trend setter. The avant garde. If Apple does it, soon everyone will be doing it. If you see Apple doing something shitty, you need to nip that in the bud right quick.
I don't disagree.
But my comment was a direct response to the user ranting about their superiority to, and hatred of, anyone who uses Apple products.
I use a iPhone, my mom and dad (may he rest in peace) were already using them and wanted to use the family features on them to keep my brother and me safe. I didn’t choose to be in the ecosystem, I was just placed in it.
I also just have no reason to talk shit on android users because I know many of them are like me. Just placed into the ecosystem by parents, since their parents used them. Also just who really gives that much of a fuck? It’s a phone, it’s a laptop or earbuds or whatever. Largely things that people just need in the modern world, and it’s easy to stick with what you know and what’s easy to use.
Well, we give a fuck because modern society has required us to need a device that fundamentally destroys any real resistance. Naturally people are gonna be frustrated
Then there's me owner of Android and Apple and talks shit on both haha.
They kind of got that rep though for defending things people saw as anti consumer such as soldered ram, limited, storage, and blocking installation of non Apple apps. Always going Apple knows best and its for security.
Not exactly the group known for demanding more, but ones who are more complacent.
I'm an Apple owner too with MacMini and iPad so these criticisms of Apple users isn't coming from a non Apple product owning hater. I think average Apple fan in general really sucks for how they seem to kneel over to whatever Apple decides compared to other platform users who are much more critical and demanding of products.
lol you're just plain wrong on that. Apple fans these days are like you: They make fun of everyone outside of their group instead of the products themselves, because you all understand you won't ever be winning an objective argument.
What argument...?
Out of nowhere, you just started talking shit about Apple users to make yourself feel superior about your individual consumer choices, really cool bro.
Also unclear who I was making fun of, unless you consider pointing out how absurd your Apple user hate is, to be making fun of you.
But that's not making fun of you, it's pointing out how pathetic your unprompted and vocal hatred for Apple users was.
Really proving how intelligent Apple fans are with that reading comprehension... The argument referenced there is obviously referencing the arguments you brought up elsewhere on the internet between Apple fans and other fans.
It's not out of nowhere. This is a topic about how people maybe should not give Apple money if they don't want to support a corporation that will bow to fascists.
How stupid and captured their dumbass fans are is DIRECTLY related to how easy it'd be to convince them to not keep throwing money at Apple.
The fact you cannot even follow a basic conversation is the only pathetic thing here.
It's not my reading comprehension that's to blame for your rancid hatred of Apple users and I'm confident that your behavior is repulsive to more people than just me.
The irony is that I use Linux for desktop and Graphene for mobile so my objections are not rooted in defending my own consumer choices, they're based entirely on your pathetic blind hatred of people who use Apple products.
lol so you defend that which you do not even use and that which you do not undertand? What a joke...
My hatred is anything but blind, and you calling it such is sealioning beyond belief. I love your hypocrisy... An Apple user without even using Apple products... Truly, your lot in life is more dreary than you could ever admit.
You're a sad little creature.
If I didn't hold you in such contempt, I would pity you.
Man you act like a total.jackass.
And you either didn't read the entire thread, or you agree that OP is morally superior to anyone who uses Apple products, and that Apple users are people that should just be hated.
So which is it?
I read it all and you are acting like a certified jackass no doubt about it.
"The Defender of Apple" or whatever is in your fucked up head.
Please show me where I defended the Apple corporation.
Because me thinks you can't read good.
But don't worry, there's a school for that:
Man does your brain twist up in pretzels when you think like that?
Obviously you are not acting in good faith, but we knew that from the start.
You literally just said:
But when I ask you to provide a single example of my defending Apple, you respond with:
So are you just incapable of admitting you made a mistake?
I do appreciate the irony of you saying that my mind is twisted up like a pretzel, just beautiful 10/10.
Let me get this straight, you are here to correct everyone that Apple Haters are wrong?
No wait, it is there are too many Apple Haters on Lemmy?
No, I got it you don't have a fucking point because you are playing devil's advocate like a dumbass.
You make a bunch of bullshit statements about your opinions and then expect us to just believe you?
Please post proof that there are more Apple Haters than Android. Please post proof that your brain isn't a fucking pretzel you jackass. I want to see a picture of it!
And you still haven't provided a single quote of mine showing what you're accusing me of.
I just accused you of being a devil's advocate. You did not deny it so it must be true.
You didn't provide evidence there are more Apple haters than Android haters. You also did not provide proof you brain isn't twisted into a pretzel.
I can't believe you're a real person.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Wow, that is the best you can do Quackers?
Not only are you not funny and a stupid Devil's Advocate, but you are also an insufferable idiot.
I may not be funny, but you're goddamn hilarious.
Not only do you clearly have no idea what playing devil's advocate means, conceptually, like at all, but you keep trying to pigeonhole it into your little argument and it has me crying bro, I'm dying laughing.
Quack quack quack its about to be a quack attack!
Don't have an aneurysm now my little tard baby.
I stand corrected.
Clearly I am the deficient party here.
Really nailed that aneurysm zinger, btw.
Please go smile in the mirror right now. If you notice one side drooping more than the other you need to seek medical services immediately.
Perfect!
Good. I might talk some shit but I definitely care about you as a human being. Cheers!
Well I was going to pretend not to be a pessimist but realistically, no group of people is "that type of person", which is why we're all so helpless. People are addicted to their favorite platforms and there's nothing you or the platforms can do to make them leave.
Microsoft might prove that one wrong if they keep enshittifying Windows.
