President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Not to turn this into an Apple-bashing derail, but Steve Jobs definitely curated himself a cult following and peoples' obsession with Apple devices is not at all justifiable.You pay a massive markup for what amounts to a slightly shinier package, reduced flexibility, and planned obsolescence. Why? So people won't make fun of you for having green bubbles? You'd only know abou
Historically I'm an Apple hater and not spending a G for a phone (Samsung included) but need to use Mac for work and it just can't be denied how good their hardware is and how long the products are useable. That was before Apple silicone which when you add power usage its a great technological jump..I have to assume their phones have similar build quality but **** that closed ecosystem.
Anyways, even with the hate you have to give them props.
I didn't want to go down that road and write an even longer rant, but consider me in the same boat. My first computer was a Commodore 64, and I have a basement full of old computer parts I'm too lazy to properly recycle. Not a single one of which would've ever been compatible with an Apple device of the same era.
That does sound weird. 😀I'm anti-apple, simply because I'm old school in the tech world. Before the internet, when nerds would talk to each other on modems, and most people entering someone's house w/ a computer, just thought it was another TV screen... tech nerds had a pact about backing, and ensuring the democratization of technology, so all people (or as many as possible) c
THIS GUY RIGHT HERE. Preach.
trying to pretend the apple vs anything else started off as some social battle instead of apple vs pc is a special type of stupid...
Wait, really?
That is so funny and pathetic! I'm cracking up over here. You have more information about this?

"More than 1 in 5 iPhone users (22%) say they think less of someone when they see a green bubble pop up in a text conversation and nearly 1 in 4 (23%) say it’s a dating dealbreaker."
I'm sure there are plenty of other articles in the same vein.

That's how all religions work. Predict Y will happen, if Y happens take credit. If Y doesn't happen make excuses for why the prediction wasn't wrong.
rainmaker cult. many such cases yeah

I'm anti Apple. Bought a Mac once in 2010/11. Hated it.
Android/Linux ftw

Apple vs PC existed for a while. Then PC won so massively only rare fat hairy nerds used apple, and the worst of them used Linux.
Then the war started again with much higher stakes and very different teams with mobile
You have to go up with the fingers to scroll down.
I still scream in my sleep occasionally thinking about that.
Pretty sure that's changeable.
Yes, with about 10k fellow Soros backed antifa mostly 60+ year olds in Torrance, CA.
My point is that you routinely blame politicians for corruption while ignoring or justifying the extreme corruption coming from prominent businesspeople.
We are in the politics forum after all.
But yes Elon should be sure to do adequate marine life studies before dropping rocket parts in the ocean.

Karl Marx still doesn't see the difference between corruption among people that can send armed goons to your house to take you and your family, and corruption among people who, if they are very nasty, can put ads in your applications based on what you bought previously
Tim Apple will be very sad to hear that.

You pretend libertarians talk like that, but you never met an armed goon you didn't swoon over.
omg Linux. I give it an honest try 18 months ago when Windows started forcing auto updates while you slept. Got sick of having to Google how to do mundane everyday things. This was Fedora. I'm sure I'll be back when I'm force into Windows 11 but not looking forward to it.

I am not sure what swoon means but it's rational (and moral) for an individual not to risk or sacrifice his life unless it's to save his child .
Libertarianism is rational familistic selfishness as a moral compass, a moral imperative, for well off people or people who think they could be well off without outside violence.
0 willingness to be a martyr is not only compatible with libertarianism, it's actually necessary to be a real libertarian.
