Ah geez who would have thought those two things are related?

It absolutely is a valid business strategy, Apple has been winning with this strategy for like 15-20 years now. Their shit IS Fisher Price computers and Fisher Price phones and ALWAYS HAS BEEN. Most people are fucking dumb and it is designed specifically for them. So for the love of god go buy something else. Please. I’m begging you and everyone else who thinks they are smart - STOP BUYING APPLE STUFF! Like holy shit do something inconvenient for once
Yo you and everyone else replying to me need to slow down and read carefully. I’m telling you you cant change it SO GO BUY SOMETHING ELSE. Holy fuck, the shit I said above is not a compliment to apple. If you don’t get that then you are Apple’s target audience cause goddamn ya fuckin need stupid proofing.
Maybe it will help you be less pissy about something you cant change. Accept the fact that Apple will never change due to this fundamental business strategy and move on to a company that doesnt rely on babying their mindless customers. Or I dunno, fuck it, keep pissing in the wind and crying about smelling bad.
From Apple’s perspective it’s not shitty, it’s part of their brand. Apple products are all about stupid proofing. Its hard to fuck it up, its hard to download a malicious app or virus. Preventing side loading protects people who don’t know what side loading is. Believe it or not that’s the majority of users. Side loading wont effect profits but thats because the large majority of their customer base will never use it. Those of us who want it are a vocal minority trying to screw up their entire business strategy, so of course they won’t give it to us unless they are forced to do so.
Are you stuck in a pickle factory? Blink twice if you’re under duress.
Upvote for discworld quotes. Pratchett was full of good advice. Some of that advice may have required living in a world full of magic and dragons but it was good advice all the same!
You are super classy
Well you wanna get real technical about it, I said I would stop watching originally - and I will stop, I have zero patience for ads. Then I said fuck paying for it, which I’ve never done. Stay hypocritical bub
I actually didnt realize it was yearly, its my gf’s account, sooooooo I guess I will go tell her to cancel haha
I will do what I did with Netflix and wait for them to actually implement it. Haven’t seen ads yet. I heard about Netflix changing their sharing policy for like a year before it happened, but when it did I canceled that day.
Thats the end of me watching it then. Fuck paying for a sub and still having ads shoved in my face. Fuck paying for anything and having it advertise at me.
Good to know, sometimes when I just want to make a simple edit GIMP is a bit much. I will check that out!
I think just spreading awareness is a step in the right direction. Most people I know just have no clue and continue purchasing the established mainstream programs. I encourage people to give GIMP a try instead of buying photoshop, or OfficeLibre instead of MSOffice. Most of them are ecstatic to save a couple hundred bucks. The more people that use FOSS software the more likely we are to get the support it needs.
I find star trek boring too, there’s a lot of far more interesting and exciting scifi out there so I really don’t get how it still has such a huge fan base still.
That said, if they start dropping the hard Rs in Star Trek I will definitely tune in to that catastrophe.
Man thats fucking vague click bait headline. What isotope? How much activity? What was in the water? Nah lets not talk relevant details, lets just spread uninformed fear of the nuclear industry instead.
I gotta throw that /s on there
Hey I cant read everything he’s saying. Where’s the rest? I wanna know how it ends.
It is not. It uses the Safari webkit.
Can we start with Trump having to finally serve?
