Users telling developers to fuck themselves is a irony lost in these threads. How many open source projects do you maintain?

and people wonder why everything is entirely moving to subscriptions.

You are able to choose because they let you. You don’t think they know that? They own their own browser for god sakes. They could turn every adblock ineffective and not care for mouth breathers like you claiming victory by using applications and adblock lists someone else make, who would shit themselves if they stopped being maintained for a few days.

Don’t make yourself feel like you beat the Big Tech. It’s anything but…

Enjoy yourself feeling like a h4x0r though.

But that’s because the M1 and M2 Mac sold like hot cakes and we’re at a quiet stop in the product timeline.

So you agree that it’s mainly Apple stans buy in whenever a new Mac drops, and hasn’t been able to really influence non Apple stans.

That’s what the poster above you said. Apple stans buy in because they’re a cult, so of course their sales will increase once a new mac drops.

sold like hot cakes

The same was true for every other manufacturers during covid as everyone was bound to work from home and needed a laptop, but nobody seems to mention that

apple should have had this fixed long before

not if it was intentional. I mean apple bends over for authoritarian governments around the world. This could easily be used as a state surveillance apparatus and casually “fixed” when discovered down the road as a “bug”.

are you surprised they didn’t tell you? They probably released a PR in their own language, in their own country that no one bothered to cover. Because claiming east is moving ahead in technology (despite sanctions) causes people to feel bad things in their gut.

As demonstrated by the downvotes without arguments on this post.

USA was built on ulterior motives so there’s nothing new. WMDs, genocide and false propaganda are all on the table. It just depends if the country allies with US interests. Saudi Arabia? free to use slaves, anyone else? they’re going to feel what freedom feels like. War crimes? You ain’t seen nothing yet, my boy…

People will believe everything on the internet. 🙄

With India, it’s more likely they failed to pay the Police their dues.

brain cells too low for the point to land. abort, abort, abort!

Yes that’s definitely worse than exploiting slave labour in China for 2 decades, amirite?

This is definitely puts a black eye on the service for me

Right, forget about all the sweatshops and suicide nets and slave labour. this one is crossing the line.

“but but but everyone does it…”

no shit, Apple normalized it.

Which ratings do think we should use that is not manipulated these days? Apple’s own rating? IMDB? Any others?

For someone going after state actors like China, they could drop them overnight, or trickle it to go under the radar.

ratings… geez, next you’re gonna say we should trust ecommerce ratings for online purchases.

So much Money to be made

-US military complex

US: Mexico is a hostile communist nation and we need to act. USApes: Bomb them y'all. I'll start by murdering innocent mexican kids I see at the mall.

The military complex lines up their pockets. Can't say no that

Seems like ethnic cleansing allows you to have a clean slate and hiring literal nazis to do science for you gives you claim for all technological advancements for yourself.

Israel is following your footsteps.

"Brother in war crimes."

It's funny that the people that have lost to every foreign conquerors for the last 1000 years, then kicked around, and finally handed over by the occupying power threaten other people.

The only threat is the lies their internet brigade promotes around the internet.

US is slowly eating itself from the inside and it needs to send their undesirables do some war crimes so they can "than them for their service". It's been trying to do that since the ukraine conflict, but Russians shit themselves without much effort.

US is now looking at other destinations. Since Israel has been their puppet basically forever, even conservatives will be frothing at their mouths to see some war crimes of their own.

it's funny how double standards are in play when it comes to US and its propaganda guzzlers:

• Some Uyghurs perform a terrorist act, China uses re-education camps

"China is genociding innocent people, China is our enemy #1 and i'll not so subtly hate anyone looking east asians"

• Hamas performs terrorist act, Israel blocks aid and supply to the area of civilians that are literally in open prison

"They deserve it, please support them"

I mean extremely horrible are bad but you see the double standards.

People are bombarded with propaganda telling them who's good and bad. If US supports an authoritarian nation for its own interest, everything will be censored or given very little engagement so it doesn't get the global coverage. But if it supports a genocidal state, they'd make sure most people would be supporting it.
