In-reply-to » Yeah, I also hate Apple and their products with passion. These people have an evil philosophy. I'm not free to choose, they lock me in. I'm not allowed to do what I want with my devices. Similar to a lot of other companies they claim to know what's good for me, but fuck them, they clearly don't. Being infantilized pisses me off. I don't feel being taken seriously, in fact they give a shit about their customers. Apple garbage is ridiculously expensive for no reason other than to milk their fanboys. Developing for their ecosystem requires additional expensive licenses. By default they ship hopelessly outdated things like bash 3 or whatever ancient version (rival Debian or what?). They tell everyone without batting an eye that they invented cool new things, even though these invention existed for plenty of years and were made by others. Finally, the UI is just not intuitive to me. Years back I had an Android company mobile phone that sucked, but my current company iPhone is several times worse. I'm sure, @movq can put all that into better words one day. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Only parts I can agree with is the expense really. There isn’t anything I can’t do on any of my Mac(s). It’s the Smartphone market that’s the biggest pain point for me, and that’s not even entirely Apple’s fault, its equally Google and Samsung and others. Developing apps for Mobile(s) is just not worth the effort 😢
