    Apple’s transitioning to a services based company, which includes ad tech. They’re better than Google only for now. The enshittification of their OS’s has been ongoing, and will only get worse. macOS has had so many super user features removed, and so many iOS walled-garden regressions added.


  • Sure thing, buddy. Nice gate keeping high horse ya got there. FOSS is sure to attract more users with humble geniuses such as yourself antagonizing them. Do you also use Arch, btw?

    “If you don’t spend hundreds of hours switching from big tech corp controlled platform A — you’ve used for almost 20 years — to switch to big tech corp controlled platform B, you obviously don’t support freedom and open source”

    I actually contribute to the development of open source projects. Do you create/give value, or are you just a taker/user? … Or are you just salty you couldn’t see this highly predictable result coming a mile away?


  • This is why I didn’t bother switching to GOS, Lineage, Calyx etc despite being sick of Apple’s anti-foss monopoly — marketed as Privacy™️ and Security™️ — for years.

    The late stage capitalism of western oligarchies indicated that Google’s rug pull of AOSP was an imminent inevitability. After already having to change my services and workflows multiple times over the last 2 decades — despite careful analysis and forethought — due to services ever changing value propositions, acquisitions, and all other forms of enshittification, I’m at the point where I won’t bother wasting energy on 99% of digital products unless they’re open source and I can run them indefinitely on my own Linux server.

    The more dependent you grow on digital products, the more interdependent they become, and the more time and effort is required to replace or substitute them.


  • He jerked himself off in front of a couple of women. It was defo inappropriate, but calling him a “predator” is fucking psychotic. Comparing him to rapists and predators like Weinstein or Diddy cheapens their crimes and invalidates the trauma they caused. It’s like equating a petty thief with a health insurance CEO, or Al Frankens’ “hover hands” to Trumps pedophilia and dozens of sexual assaults.

    None of the hundreds of female comedians and actresses he’s worked with have ever said he treated them inappropriately.
