Correct, this won't be. Even 10 years ago when I was on Reddit, people tended to side with Android and androids in 2016 actually did kinda suck. 85-92% of all Lemmy users are that, guys like me who used Reddit when it was good and left when they asked for a selfie to "confirm my age" on my 15 year old Reddit account.

These days, now on the fediverse? Even Apple users hate Apple, Android fans are packing their bags and moving onto either GrapheneOS or SailfishOS, and no one is really a 'fanboy' of anything anymore. We hate even the shit we like.

Except me. I'm still a fan of eating ass.

Is this how you let us know you still daily drive a Windows Phone?

[–] Pomal@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Whoa, don’t cross kink shame sadists with booty sweat.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Lol, ROFL even.

That would be a masochist, not a sadist. Only sadistic if they could force the rest of us to use Windows Phone OS. As is, they are just punishing themselves, hence a masochist.

Signed, a competitive swimmer, and a Top.....

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I got constantly down-voted in that cesspool for stating things like that. I like my librem for work, it's really just a mini laptop and still use an iphone for calls and watching anime.

And you know it's things like getting constant reminders that your cloud is full, don't worry I know it's not with that one bug bringing pictures of my exes back. It's 900 days since you backed up your files! It's been years and you can't get the message that I won't be paying you money for your cloud crap? Insanity. Or let's update to having more shit you don't need! And kill your battery and slow your phone down. Didn't update? Well we still did a soft update.

It was cool to get a apple 4s, now it's like what year is it? meh I don't care. And basically having a tablet sucks. I held my 12 mini recently and I was like wow; broke my finger so holding the tablet phones sucks. And I don't need 50 MB photos.

The settings menu is a myriad like andriod now, I don't need a labyrinth of settings.

Now that I think about it Tim Apple is a fan of eating ass, so we get to experience it as well! /s

My government issued transgender girlfriend got a job working at the post office and callls me cringe for the fact I served in the US Army. She has a Motorola Signature 27.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

Oh.

So that's what they use selective service for when you're trans.

Since I'm not "allowed" in the military for being a tranny, they'll instead draft me to be a veteran's fleshlight.

What a strange dystopia this timeline has been turning out to be...

Here are your available life choices:

Be a GI Joe,
Be a GI Girlfriend,
Go to prison and be slave labor.

Because let's not kid ourselves: this is why vagrancy laws exist. It's illegal to be homeless don't you know? Once you get locked up for the first time for being homeless, now you have a criminal record which means you're unemployable! You will never afford rent anywhere so you'll be locked up a few more times as a vagrancy repeat-offender. As a repeat-offender, you run afoul of laws similar to the "three strikes" policy and you'll cease being eligible to EVER live outside a prison.

It all points to prison, military, or getting sex-trafficked.

Which is to say,

It all points to labor slavery, combat slavery, or sex slavery.

It's slavery all the way down.

Files are obviously a nefarious invention by those evil Linux communists!

Big Linux forcing everyone into their ecosystem by being functional.

When did Apple ever cost less (than anything)? 2nd part is spot on.

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That particular ad copy was used for the roll out of the Macintosh which debuted in 1993

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Apple stuff stopped costing less around 1996.

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Before the time of enshittification, the implicit understanding was that every new model would bring significant new benefits at the same price (or minor price increase).

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

New products were improvements and not oh look new shiny, gimme money or no shiny.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Let's give credit where credit is due: Apple's ARM developments are fantastic. IMO, they're back on track on the innovation front. The price, however, is still very Apple.

I'm not sure it ever cost less per se, but there was an infamous period of time there where a Mac laptop was the best way to run Windows and all the media was eating it up

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

I'm no spring chicken anymore and I don't remember Apple ever costing less.

And their software has always been anti-intuitive.

[–] zarathustrad@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The last Apple I purchased was the Apple IIc. Has much changed since then? Do we still need to flip the floppy disk or can they do that with a robot now?

When did Apple ever do more and cost less, outside of the early 80s? The "Apple tax" has been around for 40 years. Regardless of whether it did more or less, and it's done lots of both over the years, Apple stuff has cost more for almost the entirety of their existence and you don't even need to specify what type of device.

[–] LemmyBeFree@lemmy.today 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Me when I hate Apple and can't think straight

Their laptop are amongst the best for the price right now and since a bit of time

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Which has always been true. They just don't sell cheap low perfomance hardware. It's like complaining ferraris are expensive, and then someone points out actually they have a lot of performance for what you pay for, especially when compared to Lamborghinis or Maseratis at the same price point... yeah...

To be clear i haven't bought apple in decades and never will again. I used to be a big fan in the 2000s and 2010s though.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

More performance maybe but you're trapped in their walled garden so you can't do what you want with it.

When did Apple generally cost less?

It’s only been sporadically that Apple released really good cheap hardware. The second or third geberation MacBook Air for example was a powerhouse for casual office work. Early M series as well had some good price points. But overall they’ve always charged a lot of RAM and peripherals.

iPhone was always above market, ipad is premium priced (but feels like the only major tablet that gained traction).

[–] borokov@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It never really cost less, but it was there slogan in the 90s.

"Cost less, do more. It's that simple".

The Apple II line, the Macintosh line, and the Macintosh II line generally cost less than an equivalent PC (specifically an IBM PC 5150, XT, or AT), and most PC clones.

Apple generally cost less from 1977 to 1993.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hence why Apple had a huge passionate DIY fandom who even made components and peripherals for those lineages, anywhere from custom memory and processor upgrades, to tape drives that can read almost any format, to predecessors of the "smart home"/IoT systems such as remotely controlling the baby rocker. The last I knew of was an internal floppy drive mod for the iMac.

Now with planned obsolescence in mind, the current Apple regime is trying to disallow anyone from ever prolonging the lifespan of its products.

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The first generation of Arm Mac’s were pretty cost effective.

Apple Lisa? Apple II? The first core 2 duo macbooks were actually cheaper than the competition when they came out. I bought one. That's it I think.

[–] Drekaridill@lemmy.wtf 26 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Is this just a shot at apple or did I miss something and they're trying to "get rid of files"?

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They do their best to get rid of any structured file management.

You can't even access anything but the user documents folder in default Finder anymore.

Its worse on iphones, I was trying to manage a previous staff members iphone recently, and what the phones file browser, windows, and Linux could see were all different, and the phone file browser couldn't actually access some of the folders Linux could.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

You can't even access anything but the user documents folder in default Finder anymore.

Uh what? Are you saying you "cannot access" anything else because you have to give permissions when asked? Either way it's patently false. And I'm not a fan of 95% of the things apple does, so don't think I'm just blindly defending them. I use a Mac for work but I'd rather it be Linux.

[–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I think it is also wrong, apple has never been do more for less, I think OP is dreaming, the get rid of files is because iOS' file browser isn't a file browser, it is like Samsung's file browser, it tries to abstract away the idea of an hieracarchial filesystem which is just a horrible non sensical idea and is actively harmful to their users

What's the latter portion referring to? I don't keep up with bullshit anymore so no clue what they're up to these days.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

In 2007 when the iPhone was released, from day one the filesystem was obscured from the user. OP is posting some hot off the presses shit!

Doing my part: downvoted, for being irrelevant for 20-30 years. Apple hasn't done much of anything to keep prices down for decades with some minor exceptions that pale in comparison to shit like a $1000-2000 phone.

And them being shitty about hiding the filesystem on iOS is practically 20 years old now too.

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Apple now: “We are giving trump $25,000,000 to fund construction of his ballroom, which will eclipse the White House.”

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

costs less

In the entire history of Apple has this ever been true?

Even when they fired Jobs and tried to compete in capability, all of their stuff was more expensive than the competition.
